    Looks interesting but the shot count, I must ask, Why? Why go through the trouble to make that with that shot count.

    Anyone know how the shot count / power compares? Anyone done the math already? 30ft/lbs dropped down to sub 12. Will it make much
    of a difference to the shot count?

    I would have thought there was more room or why not use the full 300bar? Cylinder thickness loses too much volume compared to 200bar?

    I do like the look of some of the replica's and using air over CO2 would be good in my eyes.

    I've just been looking at these, for €350 it seems good value. The only concern is someone has said 40-50 shots per charge, and that's at just 5.5 ft/lb

    Agreed
    Totally out of place , I'd just stick with the Single Shot Tray mentioned in the review

    12 shots at 30 FP so around 36 shots at 11 fp - that's OK.

    Mag is just crap, and the open sights need to be fixed so they are usable - or an older style scope fitted.

    But I like it
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    with a cylinder that small, I wonder if CO2 (maybe 2x inline carts, like an SMK XS501) would have been better ? Being stored as a liquid, it's probably a better use of that tiny cylinder space.

    And what's the usage here ? open sights, 20-30 yards max. So 9-10 FP is plenty.

    Yes a low shot count but that's running at 30ftlbs, would be interesting to see what you get running at LL
