As you might expect, they are very much the same gun, on the surface. Beside the obvious, air cylinder, the missing extra plenum and the barrel/shroud difference, they are pretty close. I don't know about any possible internal differences.

They are both LOUD outta the box. I tried a Tatsu and a Odb silencer on both guns. The Tatsu is noticeably louder than the smaller 0db, on both guns. One thing that I noticed, even though I bought...a .22 Tatsu from Donny FL, the exit hole is .355" dia. on the Tatsu and ..295" dia. in the 0db. Does this have anything to do with the sound...don't know some probably. Note that the Compact sounds less loud with the Original with the 0db, as tuned "somewhat" the same,(see below) by me. This is obviously a perception thing.
People ask about shot count ! Really, NOT a fair question ! This depends on the regulator setting power and the hammer spring setting. My Original was set up by Talon Tunes. On one hand I thought it odd that the regulator was set at only 80 bar. It shoots fine, is plenty accurate in my short range, so I left it. The trigger as tuned by Tony was nice. I have no tool to measure the load, just a feeling. The Compact's trigger as bought from Airguns of Arizona was HARD. Smooth, but hard. I did a lot of lightning on both adjusting screws, so it's now very much like the Original. I also adjusted the regulator, so that it's in between the two guns original settings. Both are now set at about 115 bar, per the RTI gauges. I adjusted the hammer spring on the Compact so that it's about the same as what Tony did on the Original (flush with the buttstock face).
Cocking both guns is pretty similar, though the Compact is "slightly" harder. Again, smooth, just a tad harder. Not any big deal.
Again, except for the missing extra plenum chamber on the Compact, that RTI deemed unnecessary, the barrel/shroud and air cylinder, the guns are, again, pretty much, the same, on the outside. Except for the way that the magazines work. See the notes on the other thread noted above. Whatever the difference in the magazine, the Compacts magazine , overall is much nicer in it overall action.
I think that's most of it. Any other questions, EXCEPT the shot count (!), ask away.
