Their reputation is the biggest killer of AEA. Higher air pressure does not proportionally quantify to a higher shot count, yet you gain added wear and tear on regulators and seals. Plus you add weight for thicker materials to contain that pressure.. With a massive big bore it probably goes from 3 shots to 4. In my mind that's just not worth the price to play for "special" equipment. I'm all for big bore, but at a point a powder burner just makes more sense. I'm sure there are use cases in between, that's just my opinion. Id love to get a 400fpe air gun for deer, but it's not worth the wear on my compressor. Let alone a 7000psi AEA compressor bought for one gun. All I seem to kill anymore is squirrels, and a snapping turtle last week
