Indians For Guns

whats is the pressure of compressed air that is generated/released by a normall spring powered air gun to fire a single shot at 800 ft/sec.
whats the pressure released for a single shot by pcp,co2 guns?

PCP s are filled to a pressure of 200 BAR (3000psi) , CO2 goes at 900 psi in norm,al room temperature and in case of springers it is highly variable (to have an idea springers peak out at 1200-1400 psi at the end of the stroke , but when diesling the pressures could rise exponentially)

Need to research on this, what is the chamber pressure in a springer just before firing. Mack The Knife you got any ready data on this ? I too would like to know what pressure does a Magnum springer piston develops.

Hi Shahid,

I vaguely recall reading something on the subject years back but don't recall the figures.

Will have a look at Cardew's book later to see if anything is mentioned there.

hai rustum
i had a few set of doubts that i believe u are the right person to solve

1)is the normal hand pump is completely different from the pump used for the pcp air gun filling pumps ,if it so can a normal pump can be converted to pcp pumps.

2) wat do u mean by male pin & female pin adaptors

Striker,

I believe, though I am not absolutely sure, that the pump used to fill PCPs is a three stage pump with a moisture capturing device at the outlet.

As for the second question, think of the male and female reproductive organs. The 'male' will have external threading and the female will have internal threading.

Hi
A normal hand Pump Cannot be used,
Tyres have a pressure of 35 PSI and Rifles 3000 psi.
You need to have substantial body weight or be pretty tough as it takes some effort.
Also after pumping for 5 mins you need to stop, to let the pump cool down.
Scuba tank is the way to go, though you cant cart them Around on a hunt.
Also depending on which country you live access to dive shops may be limited.
