is there such a thing as a 22 cal pcp pistol that shoots over 600 fps, under 10 inches long overall, and quiet (shrouded)? I want one, esp if it has a 6 shot or more mag and gets at least 6 shots on a fill. if there is no such thing, what would be close? what would it take to build something like this, 4,000 psi + ?

no--nothing close--- a miracle
your wants are never going to happen
if you want a 10 inch OAL, the barrel would be 4-5 inches and there would be no shroud and I see your other point, no air tank big enough to hold much air
so from the get go your OAL stops everything in there tracks, change that and buy a HW44

thanks guys, The compact version nearly fits the bill. It is barely ok on length, the standard is too long for sure. It is a bit loud too. in the customer reviews, it looks like a high percentage have problems out of the box. I am up to here with PCP problem guns. I have had my impact apart 3 times with less than a tin of pellets through it so far, My brand new Liberty/nova 22 has less than fifty shots on 2 low pressure fills, and it is leaking already. Recently sold my FX Monsoon which was leaking flat overnight, the only gun I have that still holds air after a couple tins of pellets is my Daystate 303 Wolverine. I don't want another leaker to work on. Finally, the price (1000$) is kind of high for what I need it to do. it looks like what I want is possible, but need it reliable and quieter. If this gun could do that, I would spend the cash on it. Maybe in another year there will be something better. ...Who makes HW44?

These little pistols are hard to believe! Here’s a picture of my friend who had never shot a gun of any kind. She was putting the pellet in the center of a 1/2 inch circle over and over again at 20 yards. Amazing what you can do off of bags! Here’s a dandelion leaf with a full magazine group in it even! She wants a gun now lol.

The diana bandit is capable of almost everything you are wanting. If you can give up the 10" rule you can have a a great little multishot pistol at a resonable price.
If you remove the shroud and make a short one/ large diameter. Or just a removable one.
They are cheap too!

That's way too long to fit in a shoulder harness or wear all day while working the ranch, which is my goal. Foot pounds are low too..... needs higher max fill pressure. Looks nice though and great price.
I think a much larger diameter, titanium reservoir, maybe inch and a quarter, that goes clear to the end of a shorter barrel and holds 4000-plus PSI would be a good start, to get where I want. I could forfeit using a separate silencer, for a less quiet shrouded barrel too. I bet there would be a market for something like that.

Yupp, I'd like something short, too!!
I've been looking at the Artemis PP700 for a 222 dollar alternative. It's still 16 inches long, sure. Can be dialed up to 15FPE in .22 (8" barrel), and more if you so desire. 30 shots per fill.
2lbs light. Shrouded, but I hear not so quiet, especially if you get its power up. Regulated, adjustable. Usually very precise shooting, from reading a ton of posts.
