Edit; I just noticed you have some links for steel targets, I will check those out and order from them if I can swing the cost.

You know, it's been a long time since I've subscribed to a channel and had them consistently bring me content that I've been genuinely interested in, but you always do. I don't even own a PCP, I'm more of a firearm guy. But because of you, I'm looking into getting into the sport. But I love the channel man. I'm just blown away by some of the PCPs.

[@kurtthomas4746]

This guy is extremely talented/ entertaining. Myself I just got into air Guns a couple years ago, and I am genuinely hooked. I have probably purchased 30-40 rifles, several high end one and 5-6 air pistols3-4 high end ones, and a bunch of C02 pistols that make great conversation pieces. Andrew is one of the best off hand shooters I have seen, not that I am any expert or even close, but he’s good for sure.

[@noonespecific9463]

Do it, take the leap, I’m like you said, more of a firearm guy. I watched a few videos here and a couple others and ordered a Megalodon. A 50 cal , I been having a blast with it since I got it. im waiting on 300 lead ball ammo to show up, less than 12 bucks per 100 from hornady. im going in deep i guess, i figure i can plink with the ball ammo into a backstop and trap and then melt the balls down and cast them into slugs. my brother is an amature blacksmith, he is pretty good at casting stuff also. i highly recommend pcp airguns as a hobby. The big bores are fun as can be and if you like benchrest or sandbag shooting the smaller bore guns with regulators on them get as many as 40 and 50 consistent shots per air charge. Some really tack driving stuff out there, I’m sure you have seen most of it. As a fellow powder burner I can say to you I don’t regret spending the small fortune I dropped to be able to fill and shoot a pcp rifle. Just in case you’re concerned you may, I can say to you I don’t. For what it may be worth Sir. The first time you shoot a big bore at something 75 to 100 yards away you clearly see the difference between air and gun powder, the delay until impact is what you notice, it’s like a faster arrow or bolt. At least from my perspective. There are many options out there, that’s the part I personally didn’t enjoy, tormenting over the final choice. So far I’m happy though. Happy shooting with what ever you shoot next with my friend!

[@toxicmatrix1337]

Thank you, I appreciate! I think airguns have made me a better shooter overall. They offer so much variety, are just as precise and have a range of power levels that should make anyone happy lol

[@noonespecific9463]

I’m not a huge shotgun fan, but that looks like a really fun airgun. I can also attest to the power the pcp rifles can have, I recently bought my first pcp , a megalodon, it has impressive penetration and even slug expansion depending on ammo choice. They are just as lethal as any firearm. They are well past the point of BB guns. Many already produce energy levels approaching those of some firearms. 7000psi stuff is supposedly next on the pcp menu. 4500psi is already crazy strong in my humble opinion. Love the content. Liked the way you did the different shot set ups, good stuff.

[@toxicmatrix1337]

Thank you! It is crazy whats available now. The megalodon is a beast, hollow points are very effective in that setup.

[@akseminole]

To be clear, 7,000 psi isn’t the power level of the guns that will be equipped with that (if you are talking about the AEA Airguns) but rather they will still be 4,500 psi, but the 7k psi tank will be regulated down to 4,500 psi to give you more Full Power shots.

[@noonespecific9463]

@@toxicmatrix1337 , I got some 235 grain HP that shoot really good groups from the rifle. Being the first pcp I have ever even touched I was a little anxious dropping that much on what is just another pellet rifle to most people. I was a little afraid I would get it and not enjoy it enough to warrant the cost. In fact watching you demonstrate a megalodon was what made me decide I would take the risk and try out a pcp. I do not regret spending the money on it in the least at this point. I have had a blast with it. I just ordered 3 boxes of Hornady lead round ball ammo to plink with. Talk about a giant sized BB, that is a serious BB, lol. Keep up the good reviews, I’m thinking on adding a smaller caliber rifle to my gun rack now that I have the 50 cal Meg. Maybe something regulated in 22 or 25 cal. I’m almost recovered from buying the Meg from a funding aspect enough to start thinking about a 2nd one. The pistols are cool and I like the demonstrations , but I think I’ll just stick to my trusty powder burner where it comes to pistols.

[@toxicmatrix1337]

@@noonespecific9463 The Megalodon is great, tons of power. If you get a 22 cal, you can get by without a regulator. I have a Benjamin Kratos 22, I get 72 rounds per fill and you cant really tell theres much of anything dropping off until the last mag. The Gauntlet is great for the money, comes in 22 25 and 30, is regulated if you do want one that way.

[@noonespecific9463]

@@toxicmatrix1337 , cool , thanks I’ll check those out, I recently watched a guy dissect a regulated air rifle and then reassemble it. They are o rings, I was worried about leaking, but it’s all o rings and it’s still a regular hammer, just no firing pin, it just smacks a valve. Having no regulator is a plus when it comes to tearing one down to fix a leak. So I will definitely check out the Benjamin , I’ve always heard good things about their products. 70 shots is plenty. Thanks again.

Those pouches are acting a lot like wax slugs. Wonder if they will work in normal 12ga shot. Closest we are going to get to factory wax slugs. After a little math, it seems that thing has the same power as a normal 12ga with low recoil ammo. So a touch less then an actual firearm 12ga, but still tons of power.

how is the long term reliability of these higher powered pcp guns? is there any sort of catastrophic failures that can happen or parts that need replaced often? for some of these being the price of firearms if not more, i just wondered how long u can expect them to last.

[@toxicmatrix1337]

The main thing to go is o-rings, but those are cheap and easy to replace. Valve pins break sometimes, relatively cheap and easy too. I havent had any issues other than a leak every now and then. Cylinders get hydro tested every 3 years, they can take something like 8000psi during the tests. Ive had a burst disk go when using my compressor though lol.

The bag is supposed to be thin enough to tear as it fires, but it doesnt. This is ammo thats being worked on, the next round looks much more promising that TPP has.

I want to order this but just bought the megladon and GK1 so I'm gonna wait a bit. You said you're getting 1500 FPE with a slug. Are you getting that from that short barrel or are you referring to the 32". The short barrels are awesome for holding where the 32 is over 60" long. If you can get the same FPE from the 22 or 16 then that would definitely be the better choice. Can you please clarify if you're getting the same results from the short barrel guns with the slugs. Thanks.

1500 fpe with the 32" barrel. From what I have seen with the short barrel listings, its about 50% of that power. I will do some chronograph tests in my follow up video.

How is the power compared to a 12 gauge shotgun that used shotgun shells

[@toxicmatrix1337]

With the shorter barrel on this, it doesnt produce as much power. With the 32" it makes up to 1500ft/lbs, a 12ga slug is rated over 2000ft/lbs. By comparision this is probably 1/2 to 2/3 the power of 12ga birdshot.

Just curious but how much recoil does it have, is it similar to a real 12ga bird ahot?

Id say its pretty similar, nothing crazy. When you put slugs through this, that adds significant recoil. Its probably 2x the felt recoil compared to this.

How's the recoil ?

[@toxicmatrix1337]

Since this releases the same amount of air each time with it tethered, it depends on what you fire. If its shot like here not much recoil, similar to birdshot out of a 12ga. If you launch a giant slug, its similar to a standard slug out of a 12ga. A magnum slug out of a 12ga would be probably 2x as powerful as this though.
