This is the most informative video on pcp on the internet. It was the one video that I watched that answered all my questions when I got started in this pcp.

[@billiebleach7889]

This is a perfect example of why I like this channel so much, it's not just fun and games but allso educational. I especially like it when you give some more info on the animals that appear in the video (shot and non-shot critters). It's one thing of making a video with 20 pigeons getting wacked in a row, through a scopecam. But it's quite another to come up with stuff like yours, with breathtaking scenery, nicely captured immages of all sorts of animals...even the calm, relaxing soundtrack is very well chosen. You came a long way, my friend....RESPECT, tons of it.

[@jamescureton]

really good info video....you are really getting me up to speed on airguns.....2 decades later, after I put my first springer down.....I'm really liking my IGT gun for now..

[@geerlofboer1417]

great vids, it dont Matter if the Time between vids is about 2 to 3 weeks if your vids are so great, cheers from a non legal pestcontroller in the Holland

[@joedejesus6363]

Very intriguing information,...Thank You for a well thought out "Tutorial" on the PCP Air Rifle. It will certainly come in handy for me in the future.

[@wanluqman9148]

Awesome bro ! I learnt quite a lot from this video, been stuck about output pressure and volume.. and now i got a hint about the barrel length too.. thank you a lot man ! - pcp gunner from a very strict gun-law-enforced country

[@davidschmidt6013]

"...from a very strict gun-law-enforced country..." Kuhn Thai pu-chai mai?

[@Howtech55]

Awesome video!! And I appreciate the fact that you used a Day State Wolverine as your comparison rifle. (I have the .22 version) Keep it up!!!! Always looking forward to your videos. 👍 👍

[@johnnyrogers8943]

finally a video about air guns that makes sense, thank you

[@stephenwood4053]

Thank you; This vid is the best explanation of working principles.

[@wadedeeds1738]

Great job. From west Texas. Really like your videos it obvious you have put in the time and consistent work. Thanks a lot. God bless. Keep on shootin.

[@andrewmcnulty0]

If you're not using regulator then you're missing out on the fun of what a PCP is capable of.. cheers for the video series matt. Best from UK

[@markbookbinder5782]

Another great video, Excellent work thank you again

[@NazirKhan-Bash]

Top class. I really enjoyed watching this vid. Learnt a lot. Thank you

[@DustyStoner]

after watching several of your videos, you sir win the award for the absolute best educational firearms channel on youtube. thank you for your patience an knowledge.

[@herminigildojakosalem8664]

Complete newbie here. Awesome video about PCP guns. I had to actually go else where to find out what PCP means.

[@alvaropablo4688]

Finally, I have got it . 🙏 Tanks man, you explained really good.

[@PhysicsViolator]

Thank you very much for the info , im making one that fits the exact diagram you showed on the video and its going well..gonna upload a video soon

[@PhysicsViolator]

@Allen Italiano yes, it was so powerful my neighbors called the police, they thought it was a real firearm (and pcp is illegal in my country as well) so I had to disassemble it fast and throw it in the woods, unfortunately i lost too many parts and I left it behind lol

[@matheuscardoso1]

WOW! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!

[@blackbear9326]

Very interesting. Keep them coming mate. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@ArtemKylymnyk]

Useful as usual. Thanks, Matt

[@petebachman5694]

Another great video, Matt.

[@frontsightblade]

very well explained. great video

[@ariamaguila8549]

Awesome video. Now I know why my pcp (unregulated) shots better when its pressure is between 160 and 140 bar. When i filled up to 230 bars there is no accuracy and no power at all.

[@Bear049]

Just wondering if you have the psi and volume of air used in each shot . Thank you your video is very good. For a 22 cal rifle

[@givemetoast]

Well done and professional.

[@shadowterrarian4073]

Thanks Sir! It was indeed very useful for me! have a nice time :)

[@BushCampingTools]

That is a damn good explanation! i'm subbing (as an owner of a" mechanical regulated" PCP)!

[@salehal-ghamdi1329]

Excellent Matt.... Very useful ... Keep up...

[@craigkeller]

Outstanding video descriptions

[@SamFBM]

Come to the uk and have a go with verminhunterstv springers. it will change your mind about pcps being the best. however i do understand that having a springer at the same power level of some pcps is unheard of but in the uk most of us are running 12ftlbs or less. But to be honest you dont need more than 20ftlbs for small game hunting like what you do. keep up the good work sam;)

[@kirtsmith6175]

Does anyone know where the two tiny retension springs are supposed to be in my Gamo 430 Co2 dual ammo pistol.diagram or pics would be great.

[@finns23653]

really love this channel

[@zjeng1]

Awesome video! Geat explanation.

[@andypriest354]

great video as usual

[@ThePCPhunter]

great video mate

[@sniperbob11]

What good/accurate entry level regulated pcp air rifles would you recommend?

[@adilhussain8686]

you are a best teacher😍😍😍😍

[@Ssgt2012]

Very good video thank you man

[@subhan1641]

i been simply firing my regulated fx impact without air or pellet, lile almost 30 times, just cock and fire thats all.. but later i came to to know it will damage the valve, as per instruction manual.. should i be worried? because i womt be filling air and testing it until next 5 days so im nervous..

[@slaughterg2246]

The graphics made it so much simpler👍

[@smorrow]

The trigger bar being "necessary for bullpup" (5:10) surprised me. I was just thinking to myself by that point that on air rifles you should be free of the need for these things as you could just have the transfer channel itself be a long pipe instead, going wherever you need it to go.

[@21CryBaby]

Great product love it

[@80sPhoenix]

Nice vid mate. So my Gamo Phox for example, to shoot accurate from the beginning, should be filled at half pressure, to be in the best part of the curve?

[@FijneWIET]

5:16 looks like my gun: Artemis PP700W (aka mrodair, smk, spa, victory, air max precision).

[@dr.pramodkumar2173]

Beautiful airguns...

[@JM10344]

Just burning through the tutorials for fun.

[@peitsenical9972]

Hi, I am looking to purchase an air rifle for use of small game hunting up to about springbok or warthog.I was looking at the Sumatra 2500 5.5mm but wanted to get your view and opinion.What do you think ?

[@chrisgreenwood271]

very interesting, thanks.

[@TheMrJibblies]

Im just curious, at 1:44 you fire a shot at 900fps but i can clearly hear a loud crack .. how come? i thought supersonic speed was at 1200fps :o?

[@hlalhruaitluanga3233]

Very informative.....

[@ianviljoen9036]

Excellent!

[@jacquesmarais1475]

great stuff

[@jeffestrada6857]

Thanks much appreciated 👍

[@Chongzmovies]

Help i got the rm8 and filled it to 250bar a small amount of air i heard escape but now the bolt action feels under pressure

[@TheBowking]

Spot on!

[@bendiksbendiks1859]

very good boys thank you

[@diesect33]

Fantastic series! Now...if i could JUST afford a pcp and a yong heng compressor..... (Hoping to get a hatsan lightning se .25 but took me a year for my 125.... being on borrowed time means no money lol)

[@twosticker]

Great video thanks Matt. Are you going to do any on air tanks and compressors.Matt

[@ivan868]

How exactly you measure the pressure`s graphic? Do you have very fast pressure sensor + oscilloscope, or this is just theory?

[@gehtdianschasau8372]

Well explaind, very informative. 4:46 is quite inconsistant for a regulated gun, you should get an hw100 or 110.´The electronic gun still had less consistancy, then an exeptinal pcp. water sensitivity and relying on batteries are no improovements over regulated pcp`s, so why bother? Because of the potentially extremely light trigger? i wouldn`t want anything changed on my original trigger setting, i could make it ligher, it would still be crisp and save, but i don`t want to, i can`t really imagine anyone desireing a lighter trigger than what is possible a regulated pcp. And i can`t imagine getting a better feedback from it at all.

[@shaikhmtjb4510]

Nice vdo are pcp air rifle cylinders save as it contains high air pressure plz reply

[@jasonlynch9665]

Thank you

[@syedirfanahmad9626]

Very useful information .. but hard to digest 🙂

[@ColinTonkasdad]

agree, very well explained cheers

[@rsm_me171]

can you do some vids on kral jumbo and how the power knob on the side works plz

[@Barnabyskate1]

Air max sf 30 or sidewinder? Please help me out

[@FinalLugiaGuardian]

So if you have a budget of $500-700, can you buy a regulated mechanical Pre-charged pneumatic air gun for that price?

[@KlipsenTube]

There are multi-shot break-barrels. Admittedly, they're considerably harder to cock than PCP's, but you don't have to fumble with tins of pellets for each shot.

[@billwelter4101]

4:14 custom stock for Benjamin Marauder - really nice, where did you get that ??

[@zwerdznairandag1670]

Ty too much I learn .so I go to break barrel and regulated pcp for consistency

[@nitinule]

Thanks.. Which one you prefer now..

[@RatanKumar-ib1dz]

Nice

[@pdoggy10inch]

Thank you very much for this video, it is very informative!

[@regsparkes6507]

Very well explained. So Matt, with that power curve in a PCP, then is there a Power Curve in a 'springer ' type rifle ?

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Reg Sparkes No power curve in Springers. Every shot should be very similar (if you have a well made springer)

[@luispatino7057]

nice

[@artv6624]

@airarmshuntingSA whats the best air rifle pcp if money wasnt an issue

[@xboxx706]

if that dont matter you may pay more then a real machinegun..well over 1000 dollars and up

[@dedesofyan7896]

please show to edgun leshy part at hammer

[@benj5279]

My firing valve chamber have leak, can i repair it?

[@dangerclose9mm760]

Can you please do a detail video on regulators?

[@garypostell5268]

Interesting

[@pepperperez281]

I love the fact u know the gamo coyote. The band that holds the barrel sucks,but why u ask? Its causing a huge issue of point of impact . so cut it off idc if its not or is reccomend by gamo i did it and have no point of impact problems now

[@jasonmccallum5915]

so does this mean that a springer would have a more consistant shot than an un regulated pcp?

[@collinklinger912]

Not necessarily it is about 80% the shooter 20% gun and pellets

[@kirtsmith6175]

These two springs are part of the receiving and firing mechanism.

[@kirtsmith6175]

Of The previously sent messages for my Gamo 430 Co2 pistol.?

[@tluangteatluangtea7894]

how can I buy PCP rifle. from India

[@diesect33]

kenlum hemang there are some brilliant people on KZbin from India that teach how to build them too if that suits you my friend!

[@gamerdaddy8597]

Ah, this explains why I'm getting more destructive power halfway through shooting.

[@flashtech6492]

what would cause an unregulated PCP to machine gun fire with one pull of the trigger..?

[@smorrow]

"Sum of" at 2:50 should be "product of". You can't add amounts of different physical quantities.

[@kaushikguru8548]

From where we can buy this pcp rifle in India... Not online...

[@predator9365]

Does an airgun use a CD Nozzle?

[@magarjeevan8766]

We need to buy air pump for pcp or not??? I am confused...😅😅😅

[@chasingthefish9042]

You can buy a hand pump and fill the gun. or find a scuba shop or a fire department for compressed air

[@tattooglisha]

I will never use regulator and i will fill to 300 bar! AAAn i will shoot high cal! ;)

[@goproslowmo3245]

Do u need a licence for a spring gun

[@FijneWIET]

Each country has its own laws. It can be restricted to age, joule, appearance (replica, CE-mark, F in Pentagon, orange tip), airsoft authority membership...

[@4ever844]

❤❤❤

[@xboxx706]

the gas pistols gets so very slow after a few shots..air is more powerfull then gas,and i think a 22 rifle isnt very much stronger then a air rifle when it comes to fps.That is if you dont got this 4 liters tanks .Hatsan AT-P1 - PCP Pistol got 870fps.A Crosman American Classic Pump Pistol got 600fps and its 4 times as cheap..Artemis - Hammerli 850 Air Magnum XT 16J on gas only got 754fps and its very expensive.Artemis - CP1-M With only 7 joul..can get a crosman nitro With 1200fps for a price and quality that are better in everything ,unless you use the gas ones for playing war and use it for that.if not i just dont see the point in it.But hey,thats just me :) the list goes on..but maybe it is cause the gas guns and rifles looks like a copy of a real one..

[@dec967]

Why even use a hammer? Wouldn't a gate valve design be more consistent. Pull trigger valve lifts and closes. Instead of turning it on/off like a spigot a trigger raises and lowers the valve.

[@machfiver753]

Is it me or is anyone hoping he'll say by following these build instructions your rifle will be able to kill prawns more effectively. Well they kinda look like prawns don't they? Or something to that effect?

[@9555464647]

[@BrianMusic12]

My guess is south african

[@phishitaac]

why is AA to incompetent to produce a regulated gun?
