When considering getting the Blitz, it was "only" suggested to me that the DFL would prevent it from cycling on fa, but told if using it for single shots, it wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, there was no mention whatsoever to me that a catastrophic failure could occur with the Blitz, nor namely with the "sk17" on fa. In fact, I was advised as to which ldc works best for it and was even given a link to know which dfl adapter to get for the sk. Out of respect, I'm not going to mention which air retailer failed to correctly advise or warn me this would or could occur. But bring this up to create awareness to those that are looking to get an sk with a ldc of whatever brand, that this could likely occur. I was very fortunate to not have been injured when this happened!
As a new pcp'r trying to navigate the transition in my understanding of the differing dynamics in operating an hpa pcp over an actual firearm, as mentioned above, I have MUCH to learn, and sadly you don't always, if at all, are told what to be aware of from the pcp sellers and instruction manuals. I had to learn the hard and dangerous way and fortunately came out unscathed. As such, I look to initiate a new thread / forum to discuss this very topic in great depth to better understand the air industries role promoting safe operation of hpa pcp's, and the timely and accurate dissemination of information on the nuances of installing "X" accessories to whatever pcp one might procure. This probably won't concern you veteran pcp'ers much, but hopefully will help us newbies out and prevent any accidents that could harm someone.
Sorry for my digression. The "sk17" is a beast of a machine and like you, I can't wait to really put it through its' paces in the near future. It sure is a very cool looking rifle!
On another note, as an AGN newbie, what is this "ACCURACY" thing about I see below each member's country moniker? I see a lot of "0's" and some with varying positive (+) numbers, but have no idea what it means or is for? I really did try to find any info on this before posing my question about it, but maybe I was looking in all the wrong places, as I was unable to find any explanation about it. out...
