    232Bar cylinder man enough for superten?

    Hi guys,
    Say I charge my S10 off a 232Bar cylinder should that be enough to run it at full power?


    Basically if I charge the buddy bottles to 200Bar should it still fire at full power? Or does it have to be 232?


    I thought 200 would be fine but maybe I am wrong!


    Cheers

    You'll just get less shots filling it below the stated pressure.

    The shots however will be full power.

    Cool, wasn't sure if the reg had to be a 232 or something silly. Not a big fan of them you see!

    The reg is set considerably below the fill pressure, so the shots would be full power. You'll probably see ten less shots per fill. RB

    It'll work, but you'll only get one fill, may as well go to 230
    Don’t you find it Funny that after Monday(M) and Tuesday(T), the rest of the week says WTF?

    I had a Superten Carbine in .177, with only a 200 BAR bottle and filling to 180 BAR I only got about 50 shots per fill before it came off the reg. I have to say that I really did not like the gun at all. I also had a AA S400 which was (and still is) a much more accurate gun that only needs 170 BAR in a tube about half the volume of the BSA for the same number of more accurate shots!
