Colster Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 S200 is a PCP so its pre-charged with air (no other gas, even if some bloke down the pub says use argon/oxygen/propane etc....stick to air). You'll need a tank or hand-pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the other guy said, you can either go for a divers bottle, or a pump. I went for the pump as it saved me having to mess about getting divers bottle refilled / tested etc. Only other thing you may want to check is what the gun comes with? If it hasnt got a silencer or scope then your lookign at about 50quid each for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KANO Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 i will need to buy a pump and they cost about £100 i think and is that it I started with a pump,as it came with the gun but very soon shoped around for a bottle. 3ltr bottle cost me £140 and is around £4.50 for a refill at my local gunshop. If you buy new you dont need a test on it for I think 5 years( correct me if im wrong lads).Pumping the gun up in the field became a drag..............

bruno22rf Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Pumping the gun up before you go is fine unless you start to get thru a lot of shots-i.e. having to re-zero or branching young rooks.If you have a car then its easier by far to use a tank-cheapest way (and what i did) was to buy a used pump (£50) and use it whilst watching the for sale ads on all the airgun sites-took me 6 months but i ended up with a 12ltr tank and a whip and gauge for £95 (2 seperate sellers).I then sold the pump fot £70.If you are stuck with a pump then you might consider buying a spare cylinder for the S200-you could carry this with you.Good choice of gun, by the way, sooooooo underated its a crime.
