Hello, and thanks for giving this a quick read. I'm new to this magical and scientific world of airgunning, and recently decided to pick up on this hobby because, let's be honest, this s*** is amazing! I've been lurking on here for a few days since I've discovered this treasure trove, but wanted to create my first post by asking and understanding what the high end pcp market looks like now, and what might it look like in the near future.
I understand that at the pinnacle we have companies such as Daystate, FX, etc. but moreover, I'm curious of what innovations these companies are trying to create at this moment in the current pcp market? I know that during these past few years, the pcp innovation has certainly picked up with examples such as regulating guns, bullpup designs/compact tactical designs, semi/full auto, slug liner barrels and interchangeable barrels, big bore advancements, flexibility in adjusting power levels, are all very much trends that are occurring now, but was curious upon hearing what others whom are much more ingrained in this sport than I am of what's going on this day and age in the pcp world? This leads to me also ask what's in store for the future; do companies just keep innovating until we're all using semi/auto airguns in whatever stock/config we prefer? (assuming we're even going to be allowed to get there. I saw a video of a guy converting his 9mm semi [think it was a KG Cricket] from bullpup to pistol). Please enlighten me!
I'd also like to hear more about Daystate as I do not own one of their guns, but they seem to be on the innovative side with their electronics gauges built into their guns (not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing to me; I'm a less is more person). Or any other companies and/or gun models that are on people's radar. (like the Benjamin Maurader semi, Edgun Leshiy 2, etc. Any chance they make the P-rod a semi?? lol). I am all ears.
Cheers!
