Also the shroud there is an air tube, super strong then you also have a barrel band,....win, win, win.

I don't think the liner is in the plenum directly exposed to a pressure, and how would you remove for cleaning? Makes more sense to me that a barrel tube as is right now screws into the action block - through the plenum, and shall be there some end cap to seal it. So you accesing the liner same way as is right now on Impacts. And this concept would need specialty tools if you plan to do a calibre change - and FX is mentioning something like that on their website - "calibre change by authorized dealer/service only".

Well, all the cars were initially - electric... 120+ years ago.
Airgun technology is around since Napoleon time.

Thanks for that response. My thought is this: if an empty sphere were placed in a container that was pressured to, let's say 250 bar, would the sphere suspend at the center of the container, or just set at the bottom in either case? Does pressure create enough of an increase in density of the air to do this? If so, then I can see the principle.

My only question is what would happen if it were to fall off a cliff or get accidentally run over?

Jeeps are rugged and tough, why don't you send yours off a cliff and see how it goes. Get lots of views I bet.

Aww, had some time to think of something remotely clever? Let me know when you can figure out how to work a toothbrush. Your emoji doesn't line up with reality.Only if you go with it, be worth a loss

Why not just show me personally?Aww, had some time to think of something remotely clever? Let me know when you can figure out how to work a toothbrush. Your emoji doesn't line up with reality.

Oh I thought you loved slinging vitriol? Hope your feelings aren't hurt, besides it might be too late to learn the damage is done. (Or looks to be)

I'm done with you, did nothing to you and you made the decision to get personal like that. Yeah, I'm actually pretty disappointed and hurt. I'd have much more respect if you said something like that in private message or at least in person. That's pretty lame, I was actually kidding around and didn't mean what I said about the Jeep.

Instant victim. It's ok if I die driving off a cliff in your vehicle, be worth a loss. But that's just a joke, well
I was joking too.

Needing a moderator to step in here and blow his whistle for "personal foul, roughing the poster" on both you guys.
Come on guys, these are just toys.

150 bar is 153 kg/cm2, and if its still 14mm barrel house that will be a 1,54 cm2 piston in each end, so the 153 kg/cm2 x 1,54 cm2 will be 235,6 kg of force on each piston in each end, so that x2 will be 471,2 kg of force, imagine that you cut the barrel in the middle of the plenum and it was massive, then you will have a piston in each end pushing 235,6 kg because there is only atmospheric on the outside of the plenum to work against that pressure
The pressure drop in the pelnum will be the exact same on each shot, and now that it is such big plenum it will not be that big a drop in pressure, so I guess the behavior of that pneumatic tensioner is exactly the same on each shot, so I guess not a disadvantage with such plenum tensioner system

Same here. .30 700m. Hoping to shoot .60 grain or heavier slugs out of it. The barrel design and single reg is what sold me

I'm not interested in the Panthera but if the plenum, power adjustment and valving were to find there way onto a new Crown then I'll definitely take longer look.
