I just purchased the komplete ncr, I love this rifle, I've shot over 500 times in 3 days, people are complaining about the cost of shooting, I love the available shots close to 50 at 30fpe, besides my huban gk1 this is my favorite.

I purchased a 24 pack of the nitro cartridges $229 , worth every penny. Can't wait for higher calibers of nitro use to come out, for me it's the convenience that makes the difference.

Yes, because as we all well know using a tether or having a buddy bottle is far too difficult. Especially when, for convenience sake, you can just spend over $100 per session in nitrogen bottles.
In two sessions you will exceed the cost of the rifle in throw away nitrogen bottles. Of course you could use 20g paint ball CO2 carts at $4 each. Reduced FPS but it would work for plinking.
The Complete is just another in a very long line of products that use the King Gillette sales methodology. Sell the product at or below cost, make your profit on the consumables. Look how well it has worked for Ink Jet Printers.

Have you considered a rifle and compressor combination? I believe it will be cheaper in the long run at your current shooting pace. Being air independent makes this a really fun rabbit hole.

Wait, what I am getting from this is that you spent $166 (including ammo) to shoot a little over 500 rounds. Not to be rude, but you could've gotten a better value just buying a nice break barrel. Most offer over 25fpe.

They make adapters so you can tether. An 18cu ft DOT Bottle with whip would save you so much money in the long run. $5-6 fill at the local paintball or airsoft shop. Probably get you close to as many shots. You'd only have to spend the $220 once. In fact Amazon has that combo for $189-200 shipped free. We will round up and call it $20 every 500 shots. By the 2nd session you've saved money

I just bought a Komplete and would still use it woods walking etc over having to carry a bottle etc. Sure sitting at a beach with compressor or bottle handy is much cheaper. For a bench or plinking shoot compressor is way to go. For what I bought it for I'm totally satisfied. They are not for everyone. The cost of nitrogen cylinders, for what I bought it for is not a deal breaker. Wish they had made it years ago. Bless ya'll agree or not.

Inspire precision makes a 110 cc refillable air cylinder that will screw right into the komplete. Now that would be worth every penny……

I also designed one. I guess since someone else is selling them it makes sense to talk about them. Should show up at PA on the site soon. Much larger than that and very light weight. Should be extremely affordable as well. Based off the Avenge-x airtube. I know a batch was being shipped soon.

Must have for komplete owners. I think the other guys was getting about the same number of shots as the nitrogen cartridge

Thank you both. I'm not against using a compressor to refill cylinder. It is cheaper and can be ran at higher pressures. For me I'm in mid 70's and have had major health issues. After 3 years by God's grace I'm able to walk again. Long way from strength I had before. It is a huge job to cock some break barrels. I love co2 guns but the cylinder pressure is in relation to temperature around it. Nitrogen is not. I can put a few cylinders in a shooting jacket, coat or vest. Pellet guns do not have the range of 22 rimfire ammo. My rimfire with suppressor and subsonic is as quite as Pellet gun with suppressor. The Pellet has far less effective range. I can woods walk in areas I wouldn't carry a 22 rimfire. I can sit down and plink some for a few mags of ammo. Cylinder change is easy even for a old man. I have no kids so $20 for a couple of cylinders is no big deal. I'm at the age that making plans for something next month is long range planning. I have friends that play golf, fly, take trips to ski, all of those things to me is a waste of money. I don't knock it because those things are well worth the cost to them. A couple hundred dollars for a case of Nitrogen cylinders is not a deal breaker. If I live long enough to shoot and use them money well spent. At my age decisions I make for fun things are based more on fun factor than cost. I learned not to judge what someone likes on what I like or dislike. Bless Ya'll, I respect and appreciate different views and beliefs. I learn from them.
