Very nice. It’s a toss up for me between the 25.39 and 33.9
Glad your zelos has such nice baseline accuracy ability

With that said, do you think lowering the reg to 1800 psi, would get an extra mag in? I'm hoping to to get 850 - 900 fps with .25 JSB Hades

I received my Zelos today. I was over excited and went down to my basement to get some cleaning equipment. I quickly ran upstairs and dropped my ballistol can on my unfinished stairs and broke the cap. 
However, I did run a few patches through it until it was clean. After cleaning, I filled the Zelos and my reg was set to about 2300 PSI. Shot some JSB.25 26.54gr Hades at 940 fps. Dropped the reg to 1900 PSI and now shooting 880 fps. I did try to remove the end cap but it's screwed on pretty tight and it unscrewed the part that has the 1/2x20 UNF. I got it out but was wondering what the tool is called to tighten the muzzle 1/2x20 UNF part (See attached picture IMG_0354).

I received the Baffles for the Zelos from Bravo3D. I installed all 4 baffles and shot a few test rounds. It reduces the noise by a lot. It makes the Zelos more indoor friendly when shooting. It has improved my FPS by 10-15 shooting 26.54gr JSB Hades .25. I had the gun set at around 880fps. Now that I installed the baffles, I am getting 890-895 fps. I guess the 4 extra baffles helps the compressed air push the pellet a little bit more. At this time, it doesn't seem like it affects the accuracy but I am only shooting at 15 yards.

Well, I'm shooting the compact today and recording groups on paper, then I'm cleaning the barrel and putting her up for sale.
Now that I know what it takes to make a compact, I'll be ordering another one and will focus on internally suppressing thanks to Big Air and his Tesla valve moderators.

The only thing that kills the looks for me on these guns, and it's more noticeable on the compact, is the bottle adapter/fill section.
I wish it just threaded to the action block like an RTI or uragan gun. That would also allow a slightly bigger bottle or even shorter barrel.

Do you have the weight with the carbon fiber bottle? If it is the same weight or lighter... a CF bottle may be the way to go.

Just thinking... would it be possible to use the air venturi avenge X tactical CF 300cc or 400cc bottle to replace the Zelos aluminum air tank. This may keep the slim design, have a lighter profile, and more shots per fill.

The stock 350cc aluminum bottle it heavy. It's rated for 250 bar, but it's heavier (thicker?) than my 450cc 300 bar bottle on my kral jumbo.
so are these guns capable of 300 bar providing the bottle is upgraded? It's a stout frame on the gun.

If you bought it from Wes, it's an M60. Your warranty is through Artemis NOT Umarex.
Wes is a solid guy. Umarex will go out of their way to screw someone over.

@Firewalker do you know if the tube/bottle base is m18x1.5 thread? Also, how hard would it be to delete the reg or just run it open?
I'm thinking delete the fill adapter on the 60 so I can pull the bottle back, and then drill and tap the other side of the plenum across from the regulator gauge and put my fill nipple there. Or up by where the reg is on the side where the vent hole is to keep the fill nipple out of the way of the safety.
This would make the regulator gauge the fill pressure gauge and then I could run it as a bell curve gun. I think the power potential would increase this way.
