Thanx, Charlie.
My propane powered ISP (26K) precludes my being able to look at
videos.

That 1100 fps sounds pretty good, but those raptor pellets put out
11.2 lb/in2 -- kinda low for me.

Of course, I am dealing with a pretty cheap punp-it-up gun.  I see
that there are some pretty sophisticated ones out there that I can
charge from the compressor in the barn and chop down oak trees.
