Graham M Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 You will need one that doesn't allow any moisture to get into the reservoir, so a cheap and cheerful one is out of the question. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 You want a pump or a divers tank mate - the compressors required to reach 190/200bar are not affordable for this purpose. You need "breathing air" which has been completely filtered of particles and moisture, the only people who sell those sell them to diving shops. For 100k+ Pump from about £60 - Better with a divers bottle, from about £120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I bought a compressor for Plasma cutting and general workshop duties. The max pressure is around 8-9 bar, but your airgun will need 200 so thats a no go. You can fit compressors with moister removers no problem. I have one fitted as the air tools run better. Good for little air tools but not high pressure. As said in the above posts, you would be better off buying a pump or divers bottle (look for a nearby Dive shop, they will fill for you cheaply) I use an RWS pump for my airgun, good way to get started before a hunt at 5am on a summers morning.. Nothing wrong with a bit of exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 trust me on this, you do not want to buy a compressor that will do 200 bar. I've seen them at paintball tournies and they come on the back of a truck and are _HUGE_. Best way is to get a divers bottle and take it to a dive shop to get it filled every now and again. It only costs a few quid for that, instead of a few grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 thought they used to sell them in the airgun mags around £500 could be wrong(why don't they do a shrug shoulders smiley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
