pin Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 The general wisdom seems to be :- Bottles are expensive to buy and heavy to lug about. Thats about it on the negatives. Pumps are cheaper than bottles, harder work to operate and there is the chance that you could well introduce moisture into the cylnder if you don't make sure you have propper filtration on it. Propper diving shops have extremely expensive compressors which take all the moisture and most of the particles out of the air - far more than a £100 pump can. I have a bottle, but I had the cash, I am far too lazy to use a pump so there was no question. Comes down to a matter of preference. I have used a pump and it is quite hard work, do it in stints of so many pumps to achive the charge you want (so you don't introduce too much heat). Don't let me put you off pumps though, I know they are in widespread use so they can't be all that bad for the gun. If you can find the cash a bottle is the way forward in my opinion.

Axe Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Get both, then you'll never have a problem. Personally, I would consider how many times I need to refill my rifle and make the judgement from there. If you have high capacity tank or the need constant refilling, bottle is the way to go.

webber Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I think that the post by PIN says it all. Unless you are super fit and have loads of time on your hands you will need a cylinder. I am biased, I work in the gas cylinder business as many PW members will know. We have offered a cylinder filling service for years. We have recentlystarted to offer cylinders and filling equipment as offered by the gun shops. I dont want to be flung off PW for advertising, but will do my best for any PW member who PMs me with a specific enquiry. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theskyfox Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Just my two cents, I use a Air Pump with moisture filter and so far Ive never felt the need for a cylinder. The capacity of my guns cylinder gives me about 50 accurate shots which is more than enough for me, and it only takes a minute or two to pump it back up to 180bar if need be. I can see the sense of having an extra cylinder though, if you have a lot of shooting to do it can get quite tiring to pump it up and Id imagine its probably not very practical in a muddy field. -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recurve Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 cheers hawkeye , any idea of good place to get one from cheap i meen ??cant ship in gas / oxygen cylinders from the states or else id be sorted If you are looking to buy new, then Go-dive in Derby, or Dive Cellar near Swarkstone bridge have good prices on scuba cylinders. Second hand then ebay, you could probably pick up an ex 'Sabre Set' 7Litre cylinder for £20-30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P03 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I'll fly in the face of convention...get a pump...you'll always have air on a Sunday afternoon when all the dive shops are closed and your cylinder is low. And it keeps your Abs in trim. P03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theskyfox Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Nah ull be fine, What I do is pump it up when Ive finished using it that way its fully ready to go next time you go shooting. -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
