The 480bar/7000psi PCP Air Compressor by AEA is here...now where are the 480 bar guns? Future proof your hobby with the most affordable big bottle PCP compressor on the market. It just happens to also be the most powerful. Thanks for watching! -Nate
The Future of PCP Airguns (7000 PSI Compressor Review Video) AEA 480bar PCP Compressor is here....

- Start date
I feel this is a bit silly, even disregarding me being locked to .177 then i / most i suppose can easy do what i / they would like to do with 4500 PSI
Okay if you are a fill and walk shooter then sure a bigger fill will probably give you more shots on a fill, but i shoot at the bench connected to a big bottle.
BUT ! i am not the kind of guy that will be stopping others in what they like to do.

If they had a regulator that can handle 480bar then the guns would shoot the same but get 2X the shots per fill, maybe more that 2X. I think that would be cool.
My PCP air filter is only rated to 5000 PSI so I could technicly die by using that on a 480 bar gun. They will have to make new hoses and filters for us. But the actual steel braided Compressor hose is rated for 7000+ psi.

Yeah i dident even think about the regulators handling it, CUZ i am not sure a unregulated rifle would handle that, or it probably could, but it might then be a actual upper body workout cocking the damn thing 
I think i will stay where i am, even if by some miracle i should be able to shoot .22 or larger
I remember back in 2012 shooting the Cyclone, pretty much every single god damn fill i shot so low that i was going " WTH the damn rifle broke" only to find out i was way low on pressure.
Of course me having many filled magazines for the Cyclone did not help in keeping track of shot count.
So much prefer to shoot tethered, this also mean i can make do with pipe reservoir rifles, which for looks i prefer over the bottle rifles.

shooting 1000 - 1200 shots in a session, i dont even dare calculate how many times i would have to stop and fill the rifle if i did not shoot tethered. 
As it is now i just set up, and then some hours later i feel my back more than normal, and then take a break / get up from the bench.

Pretty much built for this gun currently. https://www.bintacllc.com/product-page/bintac-mcar-long-range-air-rifle-preorder-2590

When I wrote ten years ago that the time would logically come for much higher pressures in the PCP, "experts" from several forums laughed it off as impossible...

Hey Nate just feed that compressor Nitrogen and you don't need any filters on the output. I have been doing that since I got into pcp's GX cs2 Tuxing twin and a GX CS4

It’s odd, we had a company coming in saying they could make huge power with far less pressure. Now we have a company saying we’ll increase the pressure almost 2 fold. Technology is all over the place.

Very few people realize that air doesn't compress in a linear fashion. The common misperception is double the pressure provides double the number of shots. Air is compressed in a logarithmic scale so if a regulator existed to reduce 7000 psi to an air rifle's useable pressure, it doesn't provide the number of shots one might assume. Air compresses less at pressure above 3K psi. It's the reason that a 9L tank actually only holds 88cf at 4500 psi rather than the 98cf it could hold if air compressed at a linear rate. This means is that if there is a cylinder that holds 7,000 psi it doesn't provide twice the number of shots as a cylinder that is rated at 3,500 psi. It would only add about 1.6X the number of shots even if it is regulated. The amount of air contained in a given space at extreme pressure can be calculated using Van DerWaal's equation for compressibility of gases.

Did anyone see the video where the guy modified hid AEA to shoot 2300 FPS? I saw it once but I could not find it again. It was real. You said he checked all the specs and stuff and it was totally safe. He shot like 3 rounds at 2300 feet per second. It was pretty awesome.

honestly the fact that this is made by AEA would make me hesitant. I have never seen as many QC and design issues and had so many failures in a single product as I have with the AEA guns. Three guns passed through my hands, none worked as advertised for long, some had signs of previous use even though sold as new (stripped flat head screws, odd parts that didn't match how to videos on repairs), not one could stand up to repeated use without parts failures, leaks, etc.,

At 1k NO WAY. I mean it’s AEA for starters and for a grand you can get gx ek5-1 that I would trust a lot more. Plus the No - off switch is just classic. Yeah I’ll pass.
