I can't help - too far away. It sounds like you would be better served in having the right people that can help you if you re-titled your post to something at least like "Looking for help on finding a source for HPA locally in Puerto Rico" . . . .

Not even close to being comparable . . . the LCS is a select fire air gun, meaning it can be used either in semi-automatic or fully automatic firing mode. So if one wishes, it can shoot the full magazine in a few seconds with one pull of the trigger. Also discussed in this post are the Rattler...

I agree with @Mau , and it is especially true with these complex semi-automatics . . . I have a Huben K1 and it has been an incredible gun. I have had a few issues with it over the years, but repairs have been easy with help from Kelly at Krazcool airguns - he supports us with lots of advice...

I'd say you have received some excellent advice through these replies. I think the best was in reply #14 by @elh0102 - airguns will never be as robust, consistent, or as reliable as firearms. But that does not mean that every gun will need constant fussing. Also, as pointed out, unregulated...

Duplicate post - as in a double posting by accident . . . . @Moderator2 please delete, and others just find the other post by the same title . . . .

4500 psi is not a strange upper limit from a company that also sells a lot of tanks rated for a max of 4500 psi . . . Having that as the peak level, but allowing it to be set lower for tanks rated to a lower pressure level would be very logical in my book, not strange . . .

I know that it is possible that it might not have been user error from direct experience . . . I had the firing valve on my Huben K1 jam at one point. The firing valve is part number 5, and mine would not open up to full length to reset after a shot, so the valve stayed open and leaked out the...

I don't have the pistol, but I do have both a Huben K1 and Sidewinder in .22 cal. I find the Huben to be the better gun - much better trigger, quieter action even at more power (and this matters as your head is pressing right there on it - it is loud!), and generally of a higher build quality...

7.5K burst discs are commonly used on 4500 psi tanks . . . that is the size on mine, and on both of my Shoebox compressors.

The Beasts won't fit the magazine, but can be single loaded. The issue you will have is that they are too heavy to shoot at any decent speed without power modifications - like higher flow valves and bigger porting. Power tunes in the Marauder are simply not enough for a pellet this heavy.

Then there is also the question of what the gun in question likes or does not like - I have a .22 Sidewinder that I would love to get to shoot well at 800 fps and under, but there is no ammo that it likes at the lower speeds. It only shoots well above 875 fps, and even better from 900-950 fps...

. . . because there is not enough water vapor left in the air to condense out after compression! Nice set up!!

BlackICE gave you a great estimate on the initial fill of the tank, but remember that you only do that once - after that, you are topping it off only (at least until you decide to drain it for an inspection at some point). The key thing that drives how long you run your compressor for refills...

I'll second what @blackdog899 said - don't confuse the length of run time with working hard. When you consider the max rated fill pressure and duty cycle run time of the CS4, it is not straining at all to refill a 6.8L tank. In full disclosure, I don't have one, but have the even slower...

Thanks for the info. I'm very interested in one. Every time I pick up my ~13 year old Air Ranger I'm blown away by how great it is . . . I can't imagine how much better the Black Wolf could be after all those refinements . . .
