This is the first airgun that I have that needs a fill over 3600 psi or so. I found the hand pumps worked fine for those lower pressures.

lol it is crazy how the gk1 changed the game when it comes to air pistols. I hope they make a gk1 in 30 cal. That would be a huge hit I think!

I read through most of the posts and agree that the GK1 is a better pistol but the removable mag and full auto still is appealing 
At $1850 it seems kind of pricey compared to the GK1. It is good to see some competition, maybe Huben will create a removable mag one day? The shorty is cool as it provides what some here have spend more to modify a GK1 to be a shorty; that is where to me it has an advantage. A shorty with full auto is a fun gun that would be great for *MOD EDIT - VIOLATION OF RULE #3*. Check out the full auto grouping at 25 yards in this review, it is pretty impressive...

I don’t get why the shorty costs like $500 more though. Oh wait actually I think I do… the words “money hungry” comes to mindI read through most of the posts and agree that the GK1 is a better pistol but the removable mag and full auto still is appealing

I think it requires someone to put in time modifying a stock airgun. So there is the cost of the gun, then you have to pay the person for their time and materials to make the changes to convert to a shorty. No one's going to do that for free. Must require a custom shroud among other things like shortening the air cylinder and barrel

If you do get a gk1 it would probably be a good idea to not insult the main importer and master Huben tech who created/sells the shorty. When the other Huben dealers can’t fix the customer’s gun they send it to Kelly (Krazcool Airguns).
The shorty is more expensive because it’s a custom piece. The barrel is chopped and re-crowned. The air tube is cut shorter and re-threaded. The shroud length is reduced. It’s mostly the machinist labor that you’re paying for.

I understand if it is modified it will cost more. Why not manufacture another version that’s short out the gate and make it the same price?

I swear the people defending these prices must all be related to Mr. Burns or something. Dont take what I’m saying in correlation to me not loving the gk1. Just a bit fed up with these pellet guns costing more than military grade weaponry that’s all.

Niche product (they don’t get as big of an advantage from volume production), and they’re more complex than pbs, makes sense they’re expensive.
