    Theoben rapid shot count,

    Just a rough guess, Any idea on the shot count of a mk1 rapid 7 shooting 11.2 and using a 200cc and 400cc bottle, Thanks

    It's a 200cc so possibly that would make about 100 shots, Thanks for the above.

    Easily. I'm a bit fussy and my .22 MK1 made around 160 shots with a 280.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Just got back with it now, Only plinking though, Was going to count the mags but after 4 12 shot mags I decided to come back home, Its a nice balance with the smaller bottle,

    I'm not a fan of anything more than 280cc on thse.. unless you are FAC and need the air volume, it's too much of a compromise in handling for a huge shot count no-one needs. I mean, it's not like it decomes terrible with a 400, but I just much prefer the feel of 280.. and you can fit a shroud

    280

    here here..
    much prefer the 280s myself
    sweet handling / better balance
    easy to keep a spare 280 in the gunbag

    Not to sure myself, The one mk1 feels lovely with the 200cc bottle, The other mk1 is fitted with the quick fill and gage so it makes sense to leave that with the 400cc, I have another mk1 which looks glossy and the 400cc bottle seems to make it look more compact, Just not much gap between the barrel and bottle, just looks nice , The action ,bottle and scope all look glossy and they all blend in nicely, I have a mk2 but the gun looks a lot bigger than the mk1s, just think the bottle may look out of place on this one, it's a small bottle and I dont think it will look in place , I may be wrong but I'll try it soon,
