The more I look at it, the more I like it. There are a 3 things I liked better about the older Tactical Nova (or I think I do as I never owned on). I like the hi-low power switch. The lighter weight (8 vs 8.45 lbs) and open sights (just me). I did also like the less pumping. I assume it’s due to...
Good question. I would think if the gun is kept topped off or at least not shooting it all the way down, there would not be a whole lot of pumping (like a hand pump on a traditional pcp) therefore less heat and moisture. But I am not professional so someone correct me if I am wrong.
I know nothing about slugs except hearing you need a certain twist rate and an airgun of a certain power level (both for accuracy). So how powerful does the gun need to be? Is it pcp only? Or maybe some break barrels? Maybe the two most powerful pumpers (dragonfly & 362)?
I use that tool at least once a week and sometimes 3-4 times a week. I love it. Also like the resources tab. Very useful airgun calculator, schematics, manuals, articles, videos and more. Lots of info.
You refer the the pressure system as an air spring mechanism that keeps pressure like the Umarex Origin having the “Ever Pressure Tank System”. If I recall correctly it is also advised to not work on those.
Also since we (most of us) would just be topping off every shot or two, I take it the...
I can see giving it 3 to maybe 4 pumps. But that is it. Anything more and I might as well own a multi pumper. Yes it wouldn't be as powerful, but so much lighter, making it so much easier to hike with. Almost half the weight and 6.5” shorter. Just me. But if it could do good power and keep up...
I love air pistols. Just fun popping cans and love hiking with them. I currently only have C02 pistols. No stores around me carry higher end break barrels. I have hopes that these pcp “shells” coming back will create some more excitement for pistols.
Lol. True but it’s not really recommended to fill from empty. The way I understand it, the pump is better utilized to top off. That way the pump will not be overworked/stressed. It would probably shorten it’s life
I don’t think they will leave filled after the test. I asked if it could be bought prefilled. My answer:
PCPs can’t be shipped “prefilled” mainly because a charged PCP reservoir is a high-pressure compressed-gas cylinder, and shipping/transport rules treat those differently (and much more...
I don’t want an extra pump. I dislike 8.45 lbs! Topping off seems good but I still haven’t ventured into the dark side. So I have no way of filling this. I would still need to find a way. Be nice if they could be bought pre filled. The way it is I have to add the cost of s pump to the total.
Nice looking steel revolver. Says 450fps. Not sure if that is with BBS or pellets. Years ago seemed like bbs were always faster. But anymore sometimes light weight pellets are faster.
