Pump up pneumatics - why are they so great?

[albrown]

Ha ha, Thanks mate, I raced back, Fell over the cat & Spilt an expensive Cognac !
Only one reason ! Power , I note everyone has evaded the point.
When they came out, There were no chrono,s !
I might add that any high power Pneumatic is far from recoiless !!!
Every man & his dog had one ,

The Sheridans were in my opinion much better guns & Will last the duration , As will the early crosmans,
The SSP,s are for Orangutangs , I Have owned most of the & have none,
( They could have been made much smaller with a 2, Stroke action & Blowoff valve ) They just wanted the SSP Tag, & Paid for it .

Just a thought , Ged.

My multi shot multi pump (early 90#s versiion of the Independence) has a blow off valve to stop you putting too much pressure in and is very easy to pump. I think it's something similar to that on the BSA Spitfire. I believe Bowket did as you suggested offering a two stroke conversion with a blow-off valve for the Mohawks. This greatly reduced effort required aswell a required arm length , as it only stuck out 90 degrees to rifle.
