I'm still new myself in the pcp world roughly 2 months in.
did some research for a few months talked to some people on different forums.
i wanted something accurate to 50 yds that had room for expansion and wasn't a problem child with leaks or to technical.
i bought a Umarex Notos shoots very well and will give some higher end a run for their money without breaking the bank.
i also had to buy a compressor and looked at twin cylinder single cyl etc etc
bought a Yong Heng did some improvements on cooling and added water filter with beads
its a little noisy reminds me of an air brush compressor.
also bought on ali express took 4 days free shipping 229.00
funny thing is amazon delivered it
its been a real reliable compressor biggest thing with all compressors is heat
i then decided to get a pistol and bought a Huben GK1
long story short i also bought a gx cs4 as this gun is 350 bar and don't want to push the Yong Heng to 5000psi
so again, ali express gx cs4 399.00 vs 500+on amazon and free shipping took 4 days and amazon delivered.
simple water cooled self-contained and quiet it came with a 12v 120 power supply
or can be portable 12v off the car with eng running
thought about buying a used scuba tank
ended up buying a 1.6L hatsan tac set up 219.00 i get 10 fills on my notos with 2 plenum extensions 75cc?
so far I've used both compressors to fill my guns and tank prob dozen and a half time to 4500 psi and both have been very reliable.
i wanted to get my feet wet to see if i liked the hobby before jumping down the rabbit hole
also support parts was another factor so far all has been good.
you will find most people on this site very helpful.. good luck
