    Feedback Use caution with r1richard2000

    Check out these new URAGANS!!!

    Double bottles aren’t appealing to me. If more air volume is your goal, why not just design a larger bottle? A single larger bottle would be more efficient, lighter, narrower, etc.

    Why no competition in pricing of rifles, FX in this case?

    Price fixing is the primary reason I decided against an FX. Free market capitalism is what I prefer. Let the market decide.

    Feedback Tony @ Talon Tunes = A+

    I had my first experience with Tony and it was a great one. if you need parts for a Taipan, he is THE guy. Before contacting Tony, I contacted Taipan HQ, as well as two other stocking dealers, one in US and one in Europe. Nobody else had the parts I needed (baffles for stock shroud)...

    Hand pump vs tank

    I got a Hill Mkiv pump, and think you should consider these 4 questions: 1. what fill pressure do you need to achieve? If higher then a pump is harder. My taipan fills to 250bar, which is easier to achieve than some other high pressure guns out there. 2. What capacity do you need to fill...

    Hill pump to fill gun - how long?

    Just to share my experience. I ended up with a Hill MKiv pump and a Taipan Veteran Compact. The Vet has a 300c tank and fills to 250 bar. I personally found the time and effort to refill from 150 bar to be totally acceptable. Maybe 10 minutes of pumping. For what it’s worth, I’m 44yo and...
