AEA It is going to get CRAZY in the pcp big game air rifles!

[Fly]

I just saw where AEA has a 7000 psi powered hunting rifle. They already have a 7000 psi compressor that will be around $700 but
I have no idea what caliper the gun will be, but there for sale in Spain from what I hear. I myself would never buy something that powerful.
I do have a AEA .357 big bore for hog hunting, & that’s all I need. I think it is great, to see big game hunters being exposed to air rifles
though.

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

AEA makes terrible barrels for there big bores...A Airforce Texan .510 T-REX with a 650 grain spire point boat tail at .5 B.C will make a 1000 foot pounds at 300 yards..At 4500 psi....I use a GX CS4 compressor and fill my SCOTT SCBA 5.5 tanks to 5500 psi and use external regulator for my big bores..Works pretty slick...

Years ago Savage Arms developed a muzzleloader that used smokeless powder. It was supposed to be the end of black powder muzzle loaders.
It never made it in the market. It erased the line between short range and limited power and regular PB’s.
I think AEA will discovered the same issue.
We shoot air guns and go into this very well aware of the limitations we have. Most of us embrace the limitation because that is what this sport is all about.

AEA will do more than shoot your eye out. It will blow you whole head off.

Just because one can does not necessarily mean one should. What is the point of a 7000psi airgun? Just go back to center fire if you really want more bang. Totally agree with all the issues mentioned above.

Genius is one that does more with less.

And, soon, they will require a license to own.
Some of our members who are felons will be prevented from owning.
You have been advised.

I like the concept and the innovation, pushing limits and trying new things. There will definitely be struggles with 7000psi like with all new things. Higher shot count with big bores is where it can be useful, but for a bench gun it's just not necessary

Honestly I wouldnt buy anything AEA gun/mechanical , too many bad stories vs good ones.. and even most good ones involve lots of work.
And 7,000 psi is even more reason not to.

I like my AEA Terminator a lot. Been flawless since day one.

But 7000psi is just too far. Engineering to that pressure has too many pitfalls for non-critical products.

AEA is not know own for their dainty light weight rifles. I can just imagine how much heavier a 7000psi rifle will be unless they go with much more expensive materials.
