charging gear - compressors

[gaz gun man]

do they need regular checks like divers bottles do? and would one be suitable for a Theoben MFR and a Falcon Ti?

lastly, anyone know where I can get one from? I see Logun do them but I cant find any info about them ont heir websites, and I beleive RWS do one aswell

VERY, VERY expensive. The RWS is almost £800 in Sweden.


And, no I don't think they require a check-up because they don't store any pressure.

I think you would need regular maintenance on a compressor as the filters have a limited lifespan, also,very expensive compared to a divers bottle or hand pump.

thanks guys, I dont care how expensive they are, worth it to me, bottles can be quite dangerious

So can an airgun reservoir - they're both pressure vessels - so why the differentiation?

Assuming you look after your PCP there's little extra effort involved in storing/looking after a diving cylinder. The only costs after initial outlay is the pressure test fee - which is still fairly inexpensive.

Recharging from a cylinder is quick, fuss free and ridiculously cheap .... and a BIG plus is that you can generate a good blast of clean air from a cylinder (to clear a leaky valve for example) which you can't do from a reservoir-less pump.

yep but compressors dont store air, I dont have anything against getting a bottle, I may well do yet, but i'd like to consider the options first
