Stumbled across an odd Huben video on Youtube. Part shoot 'em up, part pasted in Huben promotional video, part really neat cut-away animation of the firing sequence. The firing sequence is at 40 to 60 seconds, well worth studying at slow playback speed. Edit:prior video seems to be copied from...

It is my pleasure to bring something to the table, Gregor. The following are screenshots from the original post of this thread, since lost in the photobucket debacle:

I almost always shoot at home, so it's 30 yards max. And even though the bullets are more accurate than pellets,I mostly shoot pellets, because I have a lot to use up, and for the lower chance of mishap in a residential neighborhood. Bullets have kind of scary penetration at the power levels of...

I cast .22 slugs for the Huben in a MP molds mold. An 8 cavity mold makes some way! About1/3 the cost of cheap bought pellets for top notch, not counting my time.

There was a group buy mold for bullets for the Huben, from MP molds. I'm really happy with mine. The mold may not be in the online catalog, but availible on email inquiry. There's a thread in the ammo section. If I'm reading Mrodair's website right, they're planning to bring more Hubens in at...

some notes on recent querries: hcl--Perhaps I can make a clearer explanation of what's going on in your videos. First, there are three pressure zones to the Huben. There is the tank, at the fill pressure, up to the regulator. There is the regulated chamber up to the flow control valve, at...

The Huben is amazing, but I don't think there are any for sale currently, which seemed like an implied part of the question.

Great shooting and spectacular image quality.

Bear stole turkey. Girlfriend chased bear with stick. Bear ran up tree and dropped turkey(dead). Girlfriend takes turkey. Bear runs away. Girlfriend cooks turkey. Girlfriend on bear ”it was only a little one, maybe 200 pounds". Stick>bear. 

As a matter of clarification, it seems that in addition to the versions 1 and 2, there is a 1.5. The first (only?) batch of rifles sold by Mrod air had many, but not all, of the improvements of the V2. Additionally, there was a preproduction version wlbryce snagged; others may exist...

Gregor mentioned a weight of about 32 grains in one of his videos, for the Huben pellets.

Some of the effeciency notes were banged around back in January in a thread titled "Most effecient PCPs with 3000 psi fill?" Upshot is, it's pretty impressive.

Yeah, this sounds like muzzle flip. The root cause is that the pellet acceleration forwards accelerates the barrel backwards. The resistance to moving backward is applied at the buttpad, below the line of the barrel. The force backwards at the barrel and the force forward in line with the...

Speed of pellet say 300 meters/second; speed of sound in steel (speed of vibration) about 5 kilometers/sec; speed of sound in air about 343 m/sec. The pellets will never outrun the vibrations (300<5000). Assuming the pellet skirt is even and the barrel crown is even, and flow at exit is...

You sure 30 foot pounds is enough for those beasts? They're pretty robust. Ya know, there's long reach tweeser kind of things they use for laproscopic surgery, would dress up your recovery operations.
