Thanks for this… embarrassed to admit I’m scared of filling my pcp’s 🙈🙈🙈
🙂
Why didn't you mention the bleed valve very important to bleed once you've filled the gun other wise its a trip to the hospital.
I nearly blew the windows out the house twice 😂
It depends on which fitting style is being used to do the filling on the gun side. While of course you should depressurise the line first with the Air Arms modern style of fitting there is no way that it can cause any harm if disconnected without releasing the pressure. The noise would be horrific but there would be no danger.
Exactly.
Never thought of the heating up effect that pressurised gas has! Good tips! :)
Good tip, EXCEPT it's wrong! Gas cools when it expands , so going from 300 bar to 190 bar the gas is expanding and thus cooling down NOT heating up.
@@russhellmy it’s compressing the existing air as it goes into the gun, the pressure is rising, yes? More dense. However the gas is expanding in the cylinder as the pressure is dropping. Less dense
Law of thermodynamics, gun heating, cylinder cooling by similar amounts of joules.
Bollocks
Hallo...kann ich ein pcp Gewehr..Diana stormrider mit sauerstoff füllen?
Can the much smaller tanks, like the Benjamin 3000 PSI tank, be refilled? or do i have to keep buying tanks?
THANX
Can you tell me where you get the tank valve and all the fittings to your gun... I have a regulator and getting DIN fittings to match NPT is a pain in the .....
Should a PCP be cocked or uncocked for filling. I've heard different things. I know they say cock the Notos carbine, but what about rifles like the Flash eq, Armada, AEA Standard, Avenger? I never heard anything about those guns.
What laser is that? Would love to know because it fits over the cylinder?! Cheers!
I have hatsan bt65 sq, and it is not filling at all, the air keeps escaping from the sides of the probe
How long can it stay filled? Will the air seep out after a while? Can I fill it up, shoot a few rounds then put it away, and shoot later without having to refill it?
As long as you want it filled. No unless there is a problem with your gun. Yes
Do/Can you fill your PCP air bottle OFF of the rifle (or while it's attached)?
Hi just wondering, the air that's in the dive bottle is that just compressed air or some special gas??
+Blaze Compressed air. / Charlie
PLEASE HELP!! Where did you get the cap from to keep your adapter clean? Not available at my local gun shop,thanks
Hi - Phill says he uses the plug in his "Best Fittings" filling connector hose. It’s part of their Quick Fill system and is very good. Hope that helps.
how many fills do you get out of a full scuba tank ?
How large is tank, how big is gun reservoir, what are the pressures in each? You can work it out but you need the numbers.
Get it. Now.
Could you use like a bike pump sort of thing
+Jacob E. Yes!
No. 300 bar is around 7 times higher than a high pressure bike tyre at 100psi
Shut the Music OFF !!
how to unfill all the air ?
Question for anyone out there. Has anyone done any testing with nitrogen? I ask because it's a dry gas by nature. Can get it cheap most places and is not effected by cold temps. This question has been on my mind for a while so if anyone has any impact to help that would be great. Reason; I'm looking at some PCP rifles and doing my research now on what all I will need to swing over to a quality PCP rifle from power.
Daniel Rodriguez what ever you choose get a hand pump
Helium would be better, just because it is much thinner, allowing better efficiency.
@@appye7994
Helium would be very expensive
Is it just compressed air?
Yes
Can here you just, but some newbies like me need to know how to fill up, I have tried but will not recharge the rifle. Shame you didn't take time to sow bit by bit.
How about bleeding the airline before disconnecting from the rifle.
Joe he did that
iis a h bicecle wheel pump good
What do i do when i Fill a 300 bar airrifle that should be filled to 200 bar, up to 250?
If the gun does not lock up then use it. If it does then go to a gun smith
obviously one can get quite confused in that commenters have conflicting reviews. And why not address the utilization of proper bleeding before disconnecting.
High pressure to low pressure creates a cooling effect. You got it backwards.
Let me guess you're an american
You forgot to mention bleeding the hose!
how if ,we connect the airtank from rifle directly to the gas tank,and shot....
Try it👍
Question:
Can I fill a buddy bottle of 220 bar (BSA superten) from a scuba tank that is 220 bar, or after five or six refills the buddy bottle will have lack of pressure?
every time you fill the gun the pressure in the tank will slowly decrease, if its a 7 litre tank and a 200cc buddy bottle you should get 10 refills of OK pressure. normally the tanks are 300 bar so you would get many more fills.
can ı fill my rifle with 12 gram cartridges ? is it ok will my rifle be ok or explode ?
Holy shit i thought i was a gun nerd
Then i read the comments here.
Your CC captioning doesn't match up with what your stating.
can ı fill my rifle with 12 gram cartridges ? is it ok will my rifle be ok or explode ?
Heh. The air would hear up if it was being compressed from atmospheric, say, from a pump, BUT in your case the air actually COOLS when entering the gun from a tank with higher pressure.
What kind of gas? Lpg?
air
It's not really Gas. Don't know why some people call them gas guns. It's just AIR they are pre charged Air guns. Hope this helps answer your question 👍
sorry Phil but you explained nothing . no sound other than the music track
I could hear him on my phone over the music.
Is that a s400 I see just picked one up myself!
Too bad you couldn't make vid away from all that background noise
Well I can shoot match sticks at 30 yards open sights. With a springer. So with a pcp. Shit is gonna get real serious
Aaron James im going through the experience now comrade,WOW.
Jahking Allah
no easy , 5 seconds :) what are u talking about ?
bonkers.
clearly he has never heard of the laws of thermodynamics
going from high pressure to low pressure will cool the air
I’m new to this but it’s confusing. My understanding scuba tanks are cheaper because they are heavier and they have a lower capacity?
My PCP rifle has a 250 bars/500 cc bottle attached to it. I asked someone else about using a small scuba to keep in my backpack for portability and average scuba tank for my car and he said the maximum average of an air tank is 3000 psi so this will not fully refill your airgun as you will be short of a full refill and as you keep refilling it, you will get less and less air into your airgun.
If I can get more than one fill from a scuba tank, why won’t it fill my PCP gun fully the first time and less and less the more times you refill your PCP Gun? I have enclosed what he wrote before.
This is the part I don’t understand.
Simply put, How many times can I refill my gun with a small portable scuba tank and how many refills with a normal sized scuba tank?
I got through about 30 seconds of your educational video. The background music is so annoying I had to leave. Sadam Hussein could have tortured people with those sounds.
Horrible instructions.
That's not true, if you filled that 190 bar rifle to 300 bar it would probably explode spectacularly! It would certainly break. It's true you get no extra power over filling though, most unregulated PCP's are most powerful at around 50% full.
nah they are designed to withstand pressures over 300 bar. so it wont explode.
if the power droped to 90 bars you need to refil it :-)(if you go under 120 bars you will already notice it in performanse :-) ( i never go under 100 bars )
best performanse is around 75 % to 85 % thats 150 to 170 bar of pressure ( depending on the type of pcp ) but in general for pcp's that run on 200 bars of pressure :-) there are exeptions but those are not commercial guns,those guns will shoot emty after a few shots . i've seen a specialy made pcp that had up to a 1000 joules ( not a 100 but a 1000 joules :-) that's insane,these guns can have pressures up to 600 bar . i couldn't beleave my eyes but these are 1 of a kind guns that costs a ridiculous amount of money ( + 5000 euros and that's a minimum )
Normaly the max pressure of cilinder before explode is 650---700 bar
teste pressure is 400 bar
rupture pressure most is 650 bar
but of course, always follow what the owner manual says
Shiity pelet guns.Why dont you just by yourself nice 22 lr rifle like me?? Much more power,range,no air tanks,regulators pumps and all that shits :=) After i discowered 22 lr im not interested for that air shits :=)
ciro In the UK you can't simply walk into a shop and buy a rifle, you need a firearms certificate (FAC) and rules surrounding it are very strict. You also need a certificate to own a shotgun. However you can buy an air rifle if you are 18+ years old providing the gun is sub 12flb. Sometimes air rifles are better for certain jobs where space and/or noise can be an issue. But I do like rifles too.
Hi just wondering, the air that's in the dive bottle is that just compressed air or some special gas??
Blaze just compressed air
