A negative point was that the barrel pivot was a low-cost pin rather than a bolt/nut assembly and this could lead to barrel, cylinder misalignment. The Mercury, being a spring-gun suffered from recoil and was noisy for an air rifle. Range was limited to about 40m, with 25m being the maximum realistic hunting range.
The first step to accuracy of a piston gun is to ensure that all screws are secure and the sights are rated for use on a piston airgun. Another potential issue regarding accuracy is resonance in the spring used to power the piston in most airguns. The spring will vibrate strongly as the piston stops, and this will affect the harmonics of the gun.

Air gun pellets differ from bullets and shot used in firearms in terms of the pressures encountered; airguns operate at pressures as low as 50 atmospheres, [1] while firearms operate at thousands ...
