Vulcan 3 in 5.5mm Adjusting the Regulator for High Power

Shooting 40 gn slugs at over 1000 fps

[@chromosoomchromosoom2470]

Thank you for the informative video. Looking forward to the next one 😉

[@pcpafrica6763]

THANK YOU!! Awesome! I just love my Vulcan 3.. and now gonna up the reg just a bit😁

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

Adjust in small amounts

Beautiful video and clear enough

Glad you think so! thanks for watching

شكرا جزيلا على الفيديو الجميل كم رفعت ضغط المنظم لو سمحت ؟

[@rayman1366]

also seem you didnot do anything with hammer spring just reg pressure incrased?!

[@rayman1366]

how much bar 170? also did you change hammer spring?

[@kamikazehunter]

Very impressed.. Is the barrel no choked?

[@homayoonhomayooni]

What is the working pressure after changing the regulator?

[@jerryforetich7334]

Nice video on pressure adjustment. Question: Is there a reason why your not loading up the mags and loading one at a time?

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

Slugs to long for standard mag

@@AfricanAirOrdnance Rubbish design. Did they really expect pellets to be accurate at 70ft/lb?

[@EduardoAReyes]

Jeremy, this is a great tutorial, thanks for sharing your indepth knowledge of this wonderful pcp! My brand new .22 V3-700 with a factory depinger is quite loud at the cheek rest! Is it normal, wondering if it's suppose to settle down once I shoot it several hundred rounds? Thanks... Eddie-Eduardo

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

Thank you I don't think its a matter of settling down As the ping is coming from High Pressure Air moving at a high velocity through the plenum, a depinger works by slowing the air moving through the plenum in a similar fashion to a baffle in a suppressor. I don't see how after 700 shots the HPA will change how it flows through the Plenum.

[@EduardoAReyes]

@@AfricanAirOrdnance OK, thanks👋

[@fine_boygohunt3054]

They say that this vulkan is just so much better than the fx impact 3 despite all the hype and marketing bullshit of the latter. Thanks for making up my mind.!!

Amazing, have changed the hammer spring? And how much is the reg pressure?

[@jeast3551]

Hi i have a question regarding your plenum. Has your plenum got a small air hole on both ends? Or just the one end. 👍🏽

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

both ends

[@anwar6219]

كم مسافة التجميع ؟؟

[@redgum1340]

I've just watched your video again and you are getting great power with very good accuracy but at 220 BAR I'm amazed you are not suffering valve lock. Are you 100% sure the plenum pressure is working at 220 BAR? BTW, are there any proper schematics of this gun?

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

Made a stronger hammer spring the reg works great even at 250 bar

[@scottyoung6745]

Would you have any clue as to how much 1/2 turn on the regulator equals in psi or bar?

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

a quarter turn is roughly 35bar

[@ricardomacedo8432]

Ficou com quantos bar na reguladora?

[@redgum1340]

Hello again, regarding the regulator. What is the reg pressure set at in this video? Is it a spring type or washer type? Does the manufacturer of the rifle make the reg or is it bought 3rd party and if so, what is the brand of the reg ? At this stage, have you already changed the hammer spring to achieve these velocities?

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

220 bar The Reg comes installed on the rifle from AGT Hammer spring was changed the Reg does not have Bell washers or springs in it

[@redgum1340]

@@AfricanAirOrdnance Interesting! The Reg has no spring or washers? How about doing a special video on the Reg design? That way we can see how it actually works. Many thanks

[@DaleAllen]

I contacted AGT about the max recommended reg pressure and they said it shouldn’t be set above 170 bar. Have you modified the reg so that it can withstand 220 bar? Or did you mean that 220 bar was the bottle pressure?

[@cabezamiami]

He will only show you regulator modifications and simple stuff. The hammers srping mods or any other mods in order to been able to work on 220 bars he will not tell you. Not very helpfull other than showing your gun shooting with a lot of power but that is all

[@rayman1366]

oh yessssss

What will the biggest (Weight in Grains) Slug be for a .22 Vulcan before you have to modify the magazine?.....I am looking to order one!

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

Around 36 to 38 gn

[@rivielbernal1634]

I have one v3 in 25 caliber what I don't like is the sound when I shoot. What to do to change that unpleasant so

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

We brought out a whole upgrade kit that includes a Depinger to dampen that sound kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX2ofWVojq6ega8

[@mejia1133]

What about the hammer spring I did adjust mine about 1/4 turn counter clockwise and I didn’t get much different velocity even with hummer springs at max. Can you give us some info about the spring and hummer I think my spring is too weak or something

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

Definitely find a stronger spring we will be putting out a Upgrade kit in the next 8 weeks that will include new hammer springs and some other parts

I just bought the same model at 0.25 Cal, the test report shows avg. fps at 1013 for 41 gr ZAN slugs. Is this too high?

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

Not at all

[@Fernando_Woolybooger]

Wait, you have to completely drain the bottle, and dissasemble the rifle to adjust the regulator? I THOUGHT I wanted a Vulcan 3 until I saw this.

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

Yes you do

[@petereriksson4115]

Seriously, not able to adjust reg pressure from outside?

[@tyllilangsyiem4942]

Great informative video…my question is, how far in does the regulator sit inside the plenum? Is there any indication? TIA

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

The plenum has tiny breather holes on each end of the tube. This means if you have the reg on one side you plenum will be smaller and less powerful if you the flip the plenum over and install the reg on the other side you would greatly increase the volume of the regulated area this would greatly increase the power of the rifle I can't give u the depth of how far the reg sits inside the plenum

[@user-td3ho2qe6b]

[@Light_357]

Don’t understand how you hit your goal without also increasing pre load on the hammer ? Must have been way over pre loaded where you started at

How many cc has the plenum on that rifle ?

did you play with valve adjuster? or no it is just from factory setting

Hi nico are you not restricted on power for air guns in France was looking to take mine to Brittany?

[@jamalbux2667]

I know you mentioned that you were not trying to shoot groups, rather trying to check velocity. But how does the gun group at those speeds. The groups you shot were average for that gun. Thabks

[@AfricanAirOrdnance]

Actually the groups in the first part of the video were much bigger at lower speed and got tighter with the increase obviously finding ammo that the gun likes is also very important again as I did state I wasn't shooting for Super tight groups but to get a 40 gn slug over 1000fps and the numbers were extremely consistent for that power output The bigger slugs 40 gn and 45 ,gn are designed for higher speed Old school Airgunners rule of thumb used to be for Airguns keeping your slug under 1000 fps was best for accuracy in pellets that is true but slugs things are changing fast

[@jamalbux2667]

@@AfricanAirOrdnance thx for that bud! Would u make a video shooting those slugs and try to get them to group sub MOA. I have a few AGT Vulcans/Uragans from .177 to .762 and was just about to press the button on the Vulcan 3. Love the polygonal barrel on it but can’t seem to find any evidence on whether it can really shoot slugs sub MOA with minimal tinkering. Thx again

[@dannywarren5204]

Thanks for the video.. very well done... the next step I'd love to see done... is the step to get very tight groups... seems to be every gets the tutorial to this point and won't go any further.. so is the next step to up speed a little more at a time to see what happens with accuracy?? And what would you recommend a safe speed for the rifle...any info we may need on hammer spring adjustments??? Does it need adjusting? Or should we just stay with reg pressures...it's just feels like we as newbys to the slug club are only getting half the story all of the time.... OK yes you need a slug the gun likes... but show us how it all goes for first shot and all the tuning to get to crazy groups at 100m
