But only for one shot!
In multishot PCP, Theoben Rapid (M2 I think) gives 30FtLbs with a 17 shot magazine.
BSA Superten, which comes with a ten shot magazine, gives about 22 FtLbs. One I have on sale is giving 23.5 FtLbs.
Most other PCPs in .177 are about 20FtLbs.
If you are planning to get one, do consider factors other than power. Important ones are- number of shots per fill, reliability, features etc. Power can be varied, one of the methods being using different pellet weights- lighter will give less power, and heavier will give more power. So you could go for a lesser powered gun with more shots per fill, and obtain more power by using heavy pellets. Tradeoff is a looping trajectory compared to lighter pellets.
