"Godfather of Airguns" reviews Artemis PP700

[JungleShooter]

Just found out:

The Godfather of Airguns, Tom Gaylord, is doing a multi-part review of the Artemis PP700 pistol. 

12 FPE power, out of 15" gun, for $240. Thrilling!


Here's part 1 at the Airgun Academy site, fresh off the press:

I’ve have a couple of these pistols, and they’re a great value. Mrodair is where I got mine,several years ago. I’ve converted them to 25 and 30 cal. I was able to get a tiny bit over 500fps with the 30, and near 600 with the 25... they are worth getting imo

Mike,

that sounds like 20FPE in .25cal. Really impressive!

(1) How did you get it up to that much power?



(2) And how did you get them QUIET? Or was that not a concern for your type of shooting?

 

[17hornet]

Quiet wasn’t what I was goin for...I took off the shroud and put a bull barrel on it..the reg was cranked up, port opened all the way and hammer spring tightened...

ive since slowed the 30, to mid 400’s for about 18 shots, plus its quieter...I did thread the barrels for a moderator which does help.....I know 425 or so is slow for the 30 pellets or 310 round ball, but I sure do enjoy it..plus big pellets are easier to load!

i did away with the shroud and the front and rear barrel mounting and just tapped the top of the breech in a coupla places along the scope mount and used 8-32 setscrews to hold the barrel in place...the breech end of the barrel has a teeny shoulder turned on it for an oring to seal the rotating breech

He's done it again. The Godfather.

The only part of the review I don’t get is the reference to a slow regulator. I thought that regulators “creep”, but “too slow?” Wouldn’t the air from the HP side just fill the plenum instantly? And then it could eventually creep up? Trying to understand. Is there such a thing as a “slow regulator?

 

[Guest]

Yes. Some regulators move air slower than others. Think of it's size in comparison to a rifles. Not to mention less than perfect engineering.

So if the HPA side instantly fills the plenum to a set bar, then the hammer striking the valve releases the air in the plenum. How can the regulator be slow. Isn’t its job to just allow a set amount of air into the plenum? I’m trying to understand the “moving air slower” part. My understanding is HPA side feeds plenum through regulator, plenum is emptied at the opening of valve. Rinse and repeat, where and how does the slow regulator part come in? Is what’s being described not known as regulator “creep”. Very confusing the term “slow regulator“ as applied.
