PP700SA Artemis Pistol [review]

[@longyx321]

Bought one two weeks ago....well made, love it.

[@VinCent-xy5lg]

Got a folding stock and an MTC Viper Connect on mine , tightened the hammer spring but I am only getting about 5ft lbs, I think it has something to do with pressure in cylinder when full , but power spikes when the pressure drops , awesome pistol in my opinion. Cheers.

[@airgunology]

Read above, you need to play with the regulator (something I forget to mention in the video) to get more power out of it. Sorry to say, but typical SMK quality control, but other than that, awesome pistol for the price.

[@markhomer5704]

Theres an allen bolt just in front of the trigger , bit fiddly too get to , forget which way to turn it but there will probably be a vid somewhere in KZbin land advising .. ( the hammer spring tension and the transfer port adjustment make very little difference in power )

[@VinCent-xy5lg]

mark homer . Thank you for that advice mark, I’ll have a look at that. Cheers.

[@markhomer5704]

@@VinCent-xy5lg You'll need to remove the trigger guard for easier access ... I adjusted mine with the air cylinder charged ( it was half full I think ) . Adjusting the regulator when charged seems too go against whats advised on many channels ... although I didnt seem to affect it when I did it ... got too rebuild mine anyway because it leaks .. new seal kit £10.99 if ever you need one ( bagnell & kirkwood )

[@mickibbett2120]

Yes I brought one! Mine runs at a hair under the limit. Keep up the good work.

[@airgunology]

Thanks Mick, yeah it is easy to power up

[@bellshooter]

I have the 700W, great pistol 5.5 ft-lbs dead on. A couple of points Steve, the PPS 700W is quieter , the shroud acts as a better sound reducer as the barrel is a touch shorter than the SA. You can also adjust the regulator on both by removal of the trigger guard. Gregor Kamensek did a good review on the adjustment 13:50 into his video.

[@airgunology]

Awesome information buddy, thanks for this.

[@bartoszpajak2285]

Looks interesting as a toy for short distance indoor shooting during winter. And luckily we have the same limit of 17J for rifles and pistols, so I don’t need to worry if it’s slightly higher in power.

[@jimjordam]

Great review Steve, I recently bought the PP700W and was very pleased with the accuracy, mine does feel low powered though and as I don't have a chrony yet I am not touching it, I will be getting one very soon though so I can bring it up to just under 6FT/Ib but until then it's staying under powered. I fitted an Enfield 2-7x32 scope on mine and it looks awesome with 1cm groupings at 8 meters is almost pellet on pellet. For less than £200 it's the best pistol I've bought in ages and I do have alot of them, most being co2 replicas. Must say here thought the cp1 and cp2 are excellent target co2 pistols with fantastic accuracy and I have both of those. Another very surprising accurate co2 pistol is the new Webley Nemesis but these little pcp's are second to none. Happy shooting bud.

[@airgunology]

Thanks mate, love my PP700-SA. Personally I find it looks better, looked at the W green one, but for an extra 20 notes, well pleased. Very accurate, even in my noob hands :)

[@johnwaites6803]

Had mine 2 years now, I can't really fault it the grips let it down a bit but no real problem, I have never felt the need for another pistol as this shoots better than anything else I have tried

[@airgunology]

Yup mine is a keeper for definate

[@hanshjort3966]

Mine was puttning out just over 13ftlbs so it needed some adjustment. 😊 I am making an adapter later today to be able to check and adjust regulator pressure, also looking in to the possibillity of mounting a gauge to monitor and make it possible adjust regulator pressure on the gun without taking it apart.

[@airgunology]

wow 13, that is high :)

[@Meloncholymadness]

Are you in the UK? I think in countries with less restrictions they're 12FPE but aren't sure on that.

[@stevejohnson1797]

Got the older one, "green one" Put foldable stock on good silencer tuned up to 11.3 - 19 - 20 shots per fill. Takes pidgeon rabbit, rooks, squirrel out and 60yard no probem. Great little fold away gun fits in backpack with ease.. exellent acuracy with jsb pellets

[@stephenoshea1166]

Nice, when I get one, that's my plan, surely with stock/ scope and moderator fitted, it should be viewed as a rifle and not a pistol, hence it would be near impossible to shoot as a pistol with a rifle scope fitted then enjoy a bit more poke for pest control in a compact package.

[@mrshoto9035]

It’s made by ‘Snowpeak Airguns’ in China ~ SMK are the UK importers.

[@guestandsons]

I kept my 90's Orion 6" after the 2004 ban in the UK. For me performance looks 6 shot. It is still best air pistol you cant buy in the UK!

[@stephen9869]

Great photography! Just saw a UK advert for one of these stating vendor has modified it to 10.5 ft/lbs with the shoulder stock, claiming its legal :-D They can be easily modified to around 17 ft lbs with a screw but I don't recommend it. I'm buying one before the ban them!

[@airgunology]

It is registered as a pistol and so should be 6ft/lb is my take on the law and I bet the polices. Thanks for the comments on my photography and go and get one, they are good :)

[@markhomer5704]

EXCELLENT pistol , had mine for over a year .. mine was chronographed at 9ftlb when purchased, the spring tension was wound all the way OFF .. so I couldnt adjust down the power by that means ( up yes ) .. what you have too do is get the appropriate allen key and turn either anti clock / clockwise the allen bolt which is situated in front of the trigger ( attached too the regulater .. bit out of the way and hard too see , do it when EMPTY .. tell ya something .. it go's with a right bang when hiked up , the seal / seals have gone now , ive a new set too put in ... and I turned it down in power ... Super pistol ... HIGHLY recommended ... just need too re-seal it now .

[@airgunology]

Ouch 9ftlb !!!!!! Makes you wonder if the RFD even tested it before letting you have it.

[@markhomer5704]

@@airgunology Bought it from a stall at the NEC show 2018 .. thing is steve , if the bill had pulled us on rhe way home for ( say ) a minor traffic offence , saw the pistol , chronographed it .. then theoretically I could have been some tattooed thugs " bitch " now ... in winston green ( its a prison near us )

[@airgunology]

Yup Mark, this is the problem with SMK, they don't give a feck about the customers, UK market or our rules and so just ship them out. It is then up to the RFD to make sure all is correct and legal. I would have had a right go at the stall in the NEC for allowing you to walk away with an illegal pistol.

[@lfcmarkeb7124]

the Artemis rifles now are.quite good and value for money if you strip most new rifles of varying price points you'll find grease in the barrels etc.should try the new Artemis M16 (the one with the tube) Big Dan has a video doing test on .apparently regulated...my HW97k had to be stripped cleaned , lubed , and some metal work cleaned up and that's not a cheap rifle and it's as.accurate as a PCP .well mine is , hitting 10 and 15 mm spinners every time @ 25mtrs.

[@lukepitts5774]

Agree with you I have a m16 with the tube spot on 1p groups at 45m and I drove 2.5hrs to bigdan to buye it

[@airgunology]

mmm, the recent M30 was a disaster - kzbin.info/www/bejne/foaxYal8iZWhjbM

[@amrhalawa1316]

There is a stock available now to change it to a carbine + a silencer too. It's an awesome pistole though

[@airgunology]

Yup Solware have them.

No problem to reach a 8,66 inch metal lid at 76,5 yards! I like this pistol!

[@airgunology]

It is very capable and nice to shoot.

Well happy with mine great pistol to use. Just got myself the webley nemesis which is worth a try as well.

[@airgunology]

Nice

good review .. nice pace and confidently delivered .. .good work

Not into my pistols, Steve , but I have the cp2 as featured on my channel, and happy with it for 165 quid also from Solware , that looks nice 👍 cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

[@josechomali]

Would be nice to have a comparison with the Benjamin Marauder gun

[@leeboy29680-ol7gf]

i picked mine up with a scope, red dot, case, silencer and a tin of pellets. best 100 quid i ever spent. second hand of course.

[@rayzugar4776]

Nice video as usual Steve. I use a Co2 powered Berretta for close shooting fun, mine doesn't come with a bean bag unfortunately, I'll have to get one. Lol But I can see how the accuracy would appeal to the serious pistol shooter without spending a small mortgage for a gun of similar performance.

[@airgunology]

Yup, I have a couple of CO2 pistols, P226 and X5. They are great for plinking, but that is about it. This as you say for about 200 notes is seriously worth the money.

[@v6pulsar]

Excellent review.

[@johnfreed7733]

It needs a rotary magazine. If it had that and valve upgrades with dieseling you would have something pushing 800/900 feet per second...

[@airgunology]

Take the grip off and turn the hammer tension screw and it can be put very close to 12 ft lb which in 177 is around 800 ft/s. A tad illegal in the UK, but know people that have put on the optional stock and silencer and turned it into a great little single shot rifle.

[@jeanmamadoulescandinave247]

Hi Steve and all airguners, it's a shame that even with a sound moderator it's too noisy. I bought one and thought that adding a muffler would solve the problem, but it only dampened the noise slightly.😞

[@andrewwaker2289]

Will you show 3d match pistol grips when you 3d print

[@rapalaron6348]

Thanks for your review. I got myself one last week. Could you tell me please the diameter in mm. from the transferport in the part you have to turn away for loading the pellet? Mine is about 1,5-2mm. I see on your pistol that it is much bigger. I guess 3-3.5mm. I moved to a country without restrictions so i have to drill it out now 😁

[@gabiinakilondo6658]

The perfect minicarbine, you don't need to spend 1200 euros. I have it, I love it.

[@airgunology]

Nice and they are great little pistols.

[@thebat502]

Great review. I’ve just bought one and it is very loud. Would you recommend a silencer. And do you think it would make much difference?

Yes, the Zasdar is very loud, but then it would make the pistol very long. I personally have not

Are you going to review the PP750 multi shot? (Please!)

[@mb-gg3es]

Nice review Steve am seriously tempted but if I bought one might try with a silencer. But my girlfriend says you have a big collection already and she needs some new jewellery I say well buy the jewellery you want I will buy my airguns problem solved lol.

[@airgunology]

Lol, there is only so far you can be the man and wear the trousers before she denies you "stuff" :) Be careful buddy, but the Zasdar is well worth the money

[@TheFender26]

Love the gun went and bought one £209 . I’m interested when you mentioned changing the grips would like to replace with wood match grips , just wondering what your opinion is and if you know any where that dose them ...

[@airgunology]

Seen a few with wood grips and look nice. No idea who sells them though, sorry

[@vihreelinja4743]

They are sold with wooden grips also. i dont know if they are sold separately but i would think you can buy them from somewhere.

[@saxmanjesus]

When upgrading the power don’t you also need to reset the regulator as shown in other videos? It said to reset the regulator 1&4 to 1 1/2 turn to the left for more power.

[@vihreelinja4743]

Both can be used to tune the power. There is also a grub screw for adjusting the transfer port. Spring determine how much air get out and regulator determine what pressure that air is coming out of the bottle.

[@ashstanness8759]

Hey Steve almost got one but went for a crossman 2240 to customize. Will you be trying the pr700 on rats.

[@airgunology]

No, have FX and others for that, prefer to have the power, accuracy and range

[@madrcmax1748]

Hello. I just bought the same pistol. How do i masure the fps? I'm still waiting for the pump to arrive. But i want it to have a punch. Maybe 10 shoots but with a punch. I don't have a measuring tool for that. Thanks

[@airgunology]

You need a chronograph. See my other videos for options

Hello sir. to clean the barrel I unscrewed it very easily. But to put it back, I screwed the barrel back on but it doesn't block. It screws and turns without blocking. Is this normal? Thank you and happy new year 2020. Django.

[@airgunology]

Not tried this myself, but thanks for the info, will check if mine does that too.

[@raffaeledemartino9736]

As always nice review Steve, I am gonna get one very soon. I got two questions, though: 1. Shot count in the UK configuration (.177)? 2. Do you have an idea of how many pumps it would take to go from 100 bar to 200 bar, for this little cylinder? More or less. Thanks, Raffaele

[@airgunology]

Can't remember mate, sometime since I did the video, but about 30 - 40 shots. Won't take much time to pump, but don't have a hand pump so can't tell you. Work out the Cylinder size compared to your normal rifle and do the maths to give an indication.

[@ВалерийЗиборов-з7я]

Здравствуйте, подскажите пожалуйста.. Как настроить родной редуктор.

Would fitting a stock make it into a rifle thus being able to increase the power level and remain legal?

[@airgunology]

I believe the serial no is registered as a pistol so no.

well you say that but what about my smk cp2 pistol/rifle! you can alter the hammer spring on those for a power increase, rifle fine, but then take the stock off and your illegal@@airgunology

The chances you take. If in your own yard, all it takes is a crappy neighbour to report you. Happened to me

[@jeffslade1892]

Why supplied at 4.5 ft lb? There is a reason for that. That will release a typical 177 at just under 500fps. Which is what 10M Competition pistols do. There is a reason for that. It has to do with the volume of the barrel. Releasing excess gas after the pellet has left the muzzle tumbles the pellet. Target shooters find that really annoying. A good moderator or muzzle brake should increase velocity of the pellet by trapping and deflecting that excess gas. A pistol is not for hunting, it's for putting every shot in the 10 at 10 metres. So seeking more power is counter productive. In fact for a target pistol less is more. We want tighter grouping and for that we also need consistent fps from the regulator. This air pistol has a regulator. A regulator will always drop the ultimate energy. It pays to play with the regulator to get the best grouping. The chrono will help monitor the variation in fps. This is fair use and ought not void warranty. A CO2 can self-regulate. The vapour pressure remains constant at a given temperature. By setting up the valve as a pressure regulator it can release the same quantity of gas irrespective of temperature; a balancing act, the same fps. But you will get less shots per capsule when it is cold. Again by tuning the pistol to a little under 500fps, about 4.6 ft lb, but not trying to increase energy. In summer I could get some 65 well regulated shots (spread of

[@johnrambo1349]

Wtf only 6 ft lb max? That's like 14.3gr .22 pellet going 350 fps. That's weak as fuck. Poor UK guys. In america, there is no limits. Cant kill shit if your gun shoots as slow as a air soft gun lmao.

[@airgunology]

We have VERY strict rules in the uk :(

[@johnrambo1349]

@@airgunology I heard about the UK 12 ft lb limit. But 6 ft lb is just too weak to hunt with. I wouldn't want to shoot a rabbit with a 6 ft lb gun. Most likely it's gonna get wounded and die off somewhere else. 12 ft lb would be the minimum to hunt with. Anything lower than 12 ft lb is for paper targets.
