I've never seen a failure like that. The hose bursts I've seen involved the hose staying connected at both ends. The hose expands in a bulb shape, usually near one of the connectors, cracks develop and the air is let out in a bang. So there was no whipping motion. I imagine one of the...

Cubic feet of air at 4500 psi is a really odd unit of measurement. It should state, cubic feet of air this would produce if full at 4500psi, then emptied into a 14.7psi room.

I'd maybe only wear hearing protection until you're sure you've got the hang of things. Most compressors are noisy. And if you burst a fill line it'll be louder than a typical gunshot.

I think if you have problems with this kind of compressor it will either be 1) a really simple one in the first few days or weeks. It should be an easy self-repair or 2) A failure in around the 3 year mark of the "major rebuild" variety. Given that the warrantee covers you for ?4 years? if...

I pretty much do all my pesting at under 30 yards and mostly use Crosman 22 pellets. They've worked wonderfully.

I've never drained water out of a PCP. As people here have discussed, water in the PCP is something you want to avoid -- at about the cost of your PCP rifle. I similarly dry my air before putting it in an SCBA tank, and I fill my PCPs from the SCBA tank. You can find multiple threads on...

I put my toes into the "buy thermal" pool, first getting a rather affordable (under $1000) spotting scope. I then was fully suckered into it and bought a 640x480 thermal that was more expensive than my car. I also bought a thermal red-dot (the Holosun) just last year. They're not just great...

You can find **very** cheap and effective battery-powered car/bicycle tire pumps on Amazon. I have a slow leak in one of my car tires. I keep a pump like this in my car: It takes my car tire from 20psi to 35psi in about 10 minutes. Then I just put it in the car and plug it into a USB...

I've done so many I forget most of them. Most recent was my son (so, pretty much my fault) when I took him to the range for the first time. Put the Leshiy 2 in his hands and before he even looked down the sights he put his finger on the trigger and let off a shot, without realizing it...

Recently I've mostly been using Crosman .22 pellets, so it's been Wal Mart for me.

If anyone has this I'd be curious to see it side-by-side with the stock trigger. Aren't they essentially the same? They look almost the same.

My only concern would be to check how long the CS4 can handle continuous operation. With my CS2 to fill a large tank like that is I cycle the pump off and on to help keep everything cool.

I've been shopping on AliExpress since around 2019. Found some lovely VG-10 kitchen knives, basically knock-offs of some standard Japanese kitchen knives, but at about a quarter the price. That said, I've since found better Japanese sources for Japanese knives and have decided to stick with...

I have no problems with the stock trigger.

It'll depend on your distance to target. If you set the two crosshairs to agree at 20yards, they'll be slightly off at 10 and 30 yards. Because the thermal is further from the bore, it would be pointing to a target lower than the red dot at 30 yards, and above the red dot at 10 yards. Here...

I imagine if you're really a fussy high-precision shooter it might be worthwhile. But I figure for my purposes, if the pellet squeezes into the barrel (and doesn't fall through), it'll be extruded into essentially the right shape when its fired. So no need for a sizer.

Various .22 LR's. ... Years pass. ... Then a Crosman nitro-piston 22 airgun. ... Years pass. ... Then a Crosman 1322 pistol. Then another and another. Various mods. ... Then I realized how legally precarious modding a 1322 is in Canada. ... Then an Edgun Leshiy 2.

Zan just sent me a notice of their new sizer. https://zanprojectiles.com/shop/zan-projectiles-pellet-sizer-pre-orders-are-now-available/

I load up Altaros slugs when I want to use my .22 LR active targets. My usual .22 pellets don't carry enough energy.

I did it often, but I put the unit on a 2-min on then 5-min off cycle. If you filled that Guppy tank all in one go you'd likely overheat the unit.
