I'm wondering if I can safely fill a huben Gk1 SHORTY with a 12v pcp clunker compressor. I'm having a hard time finding an affordable 5k compressor

Most "clunky" compressors will push to 300 Bar/ 4500 psi. Because of their design, clunky, they will not last long when being pushed to the max. You could always fill to something less than you max and above the regulator setting to be able to play. The new GX 4-I compressor ( https://www.amazon.com/GX-Compressor-Converter-Continous-Paintball/dp/B0CNKJL7DR ) will push to a claimed 5800 psi. I have several older GX compressors and they have served me well with nothing but routine maintenance.

Suprised you could get into a shorty GK1 and not a good compressor Look into GX cs4. Or AEA compressor.they will easily fill it .

Devink, I actually own a tuxing TXES022 compressor and a 2litre scuba cylinder. And 2 clunkers. But everything is rated 4500 psi. Will it be a safe thing to do if I was to fill the scuba tank to 5000psi with the Tuxing compressor if the burst disk allows it? I'm trying to be safe with it. High pressure is scary. I appreciate your feedback

I got a shorty from Kelly and a K1 from Kelly and my GX CS4 E was bought specifically for those two guns. Well, actually my nomad 2 let me down and i needed another. When looking i had the Huben's in mind specifically in my search.

I actually don't own a huben. I have a AEA S45, and several other rifles. Everything I have is rated at 4500psi. I'm intrigued by the previews the GK1 shorty is having and was contemplating getting me a shorty. That's why I'm wondering if it was safe to go up to 5000 psi with a clunker compressor. Or even filling a 2 litre scuba tank to 5000psi with a Tuxing TXES022 if the burst dusk allows it. The tank is rated 4500psi. I wouldn't wanna blow my equiptment by pushing it too far. High pressure is dangerous. Good to be sure before you experiment. I like to get advice from the pros. I've been into airgunning a little over a year. I'm intrigued by the experience. The huben looks like it packs a lot of punch in a little package. I like it. I appreciate all of the feedback. Thank you all.

Psycho62 , thanks I guess it'll make sense to get a GX CS4 E if I was to get the GK1 and not risk damaging the equiptment I already have.. how you feel about your shorty, if you don't mind me asking.

I would personally stay away from trying to go to 5000psi on your tanks and just use a compressor that is meant for 5000+ psi to top off the gun directly to those high fill pressures. That's what I do for my regular gk1 until there are better options to be safe .

Absolutely love it. Its more compact, which we know therefore its alot easier to pack around the woods, barn etc... im gonna get another and keep it original in .25 cal and use it for a small rifle/carbine. I have the k1 bullpup and just got another fx, the drs classic but i want something even smaller and lighter than those. I have a prod with the buttstock on it but i like a semiauto. Kelly @krazcool is awesome with these guns

Personally, I dislike these oil and water free compressors regardless of the brand.
I suppose longevity of the pump is determined by its required duties. I would imagine they are great for folks who don't shoot very much.

I like the Water free/Oil compressors for the fact that I can keep them and use them in My Climate controlled Rooms rather than in the Garage or the Basement. JMO
