Hi Old Jud, I am replying to your post as it was the last ! ( No offence ) intended,
I see the Innova as an investment also. Matty has a number & so do I , ( Maybe 8, & A metal breech & 2 Silencer adapters again in metal ) & Many spares, ( The spares are an investment though ! )
I saw a new Innova breech go on that " Sale site " for over £50 ?
Plastic degrades , & Nothing will change that ! Had they been made with Aluminium or Steel breeches & Foresights,
Of course they wouldn,t have been at that price, ! I paid £50 for one from a Gunshop in 1979 & It was full power !
Its simple math, If it takes 5 or 6 Pumps On a Sharp or Sheridan to make 11 Fpe, ( & They are not easy toward the latter )
How is it going to be easy with a SSP, ! Note: Same amount of effort required to make the same energy , In one stroke, ( Or am I missing something ) It doesn,t happen, No freebeeeeeese In the mechanical world, Nothing is for free,
read that a Pneumatic is only 5% Efficient & A Springer ( Due to the Exothermic action is 30% ) Efficient , Thats due mainly to the amount of heat/Perceived extra volume !
In my Humble opinion , For what its worth !! A Recoiless springer is the way forward, 200 Bar & Now 300 Bar PCP,s Count me out !
If you had to physically pump them up, They would never sell another,
Self contained, Recoiless, A 2, Pumper " Maybe " ?
Anyway, Its time for my medication ! Yes darling, A Shiraz Ha ha, Ged.
