22 PCP Airgun VS 22LR -POWER DEMONSTRATION

Published on June 5, 2020
Duration: 5:25

This video compares the power of a .22 PCP airgun (Evanix MAX Air II with H&N slugs) against a .22LR rifle (Marlin Glenfield Model 60 with CCI Stingers) at 40 yards. While the airgun demonstrated significant power, denting a metal plate, the .22LR rifle clearly outperformed it, causing explosive damage to targets and penetrating the metal plate with ease. The .22LR rifle delivers substantially more energy due to its higher velocity and projectile weight.

Quick Summary

The .22LR rifle clearly delivered significantly more energy on target than the .22 PCP airgun. The Evanix MAX Air II .22 PCP airgun dented a 1/8-inch steel plate but didn't penetrate, while the Marlin .22LR rifle achieved clean penetration.
