Food for thought for the Huben fans…

[Maizen]

Where is the bottle version!?!? Guys how awesome would it be if Huben put a 580cc bottle on the K1. Maybe for the K2? That would pretty much sell me on the spot. I really don’t like the cylinder air reservoirs…

Huben if you see this…please make a bottle version!!!

 

[wimpanzee]

I feel like a bottle would ruin the aesthetics of the k1. i felt like it was a big issue on my sidewinder. do not like bottles.

Having one, I just don't see the benefits . . . I am one that loves bottle guns, but the Huben does not really need one. The tube is titanium, is a good size, and can take a 350bar fill if you can get it, and gives a ton of shots even on a "partial fill" on all but the most powerful tunes (and even then probably close to 30 shots). A big full bottle might give a few more shots, but it would make the gun larger and likely heavier too after fittings are considered, vs. the titanium tube.

I think it would only be a benefit for low pressure fills around 3200 psi or so. I usually fill mine to 3800 psi and can get almost five mags out of it (probably close to 90 shots or so), but I'm running mine at about 32 FPE.

if i had one i would be at sub 12 FPE maybe i would go to high power and tune 14 FPE but i doubt it .

I my opinion it would be sacrilegious to ruin the sleek lines of the K1. It's well balanced I would be concerned about the shift of the center gravity.

True. But it does not bother people like me who have Impacts

350 bar is a lot! Most conventional bottles are 250 bar…and most tanks cap out at 300 bar. I think they could benefit from a bottle. My opinion though.

But most of all…I wish the magazine was detachable!

Had a chance to shoot one quite a bit in the past week and the form factor is great. The shot cycle is really nice and it feels very balanced and planted during shooting.

Hate bottle guns so the Huben is perfect as is IMO

 

[Pale_Rider]

A while ago Travis(aka Airacuda guy) from GTA made bottle huben. I do prefer the looks of the tube better but it did double his shot count.

 

[elwoodblues]

I would never do that to my Huben.
I haave several guns that I have converted to bottle 2 Chasers an Avenger and a Kral jumbo
If I need more than the 100 + shots I get from the huben I'll just shoot the Kral or the Avenger both get over 180 shots
The .177 chaser is good for 200+

I wish the magazine was detachable also, my next rifle will probably be sidewinder in 30 cal

There is no benefit to a bottle on the huben. The titanium reservoir and efficient action don't call for it.

I was getting over 150 shots per fill on my .22 at 25 fpe lmao

Why add weight to it , the cylinder is already 300cc I think?

But but but…580cc

At what cost? You'd add a pound and a half to the rifle lmao

And it would be better on the bench and ground. More stability with standing shots because of that extra weight

The Wildcat was a cylider rifle for a long time, now people like both versions.

It really would help guys who can't do 350 bar fills that want a lot of shots.

I got 150 shots from a 3600 psi fill.

That's awesome. If I was ever to win the lottery I would want a cylinder Huben. I just wanted to mention a reason for it and how its been adopted successfully in the market.
