Well Adam, I knew this video was coming! I think the Piledriver has redeemed itself! That's more power than I thought an air rifle could do! Looks like you are a good shot unless it was clever video editing! 🤣I offer 3 cents for the cast iron pan. If you sign it, a nickel! CASH! I'd give you a thousand likes if I could but you will have to settle for one, sorry. 😁
Air rifles are pretty powerful now. Down in Florida I used my airforce Texan .457 for large feral hogs. Adam I have custom cast 220 gr .457 I make if you want to try some. Let me know and I can get them to you soon
It sounds like your adapter isn't concentric to the barrel--that is probably what was responsible for the baffle strikes. I have had that issue trying to use an adapter for my suppressor that wasn't made by the suppressor maker. Anyone that is custom threading a barrel for a suppressor has to make sure that their threads are concentric to the barrel as well.
I've had that same thought and the only way for me to thread the barrel is in a lathe which I just might have access one soon. I've seen someone try to thread a barrel with a die before and completely ruined it. No way to keep it exactly straight.
@@alaskacutthecord769 There is definitely an art to it! I took several barrels to a small business then later on, took another to him that he told me he would do that day for me....he wouldn't even let me watch him as he said he had some proprietary ways that he couldn't let me see. Don't know if that was the truth or not but I haven't had any problems with the barrels he threaded for me.
That’s the issue with high power guns like these. They use sooo much air so they require frequent topping off, and so you can really only shoot it a few times between fill ups. With a 300 bar fill you’re looking at direct air compressor fills or just partial fills with a tank. Kind of annoying and time consuming but that’s the price you pay for sooo much power. If I’m not mistaken this gun has a removable bottle so at least you don’t have to have the entire beastly gun up on your car engine while filling from a compressor at the range.
@@GovtWatchdogI bought the same battery my GMC truck uses ( in case it dies in the national forest ) and I use it on the ground with the filling machine . Good to know bottle comes out though
Can we shoot with a tethered, large air bottle at 4200psi ? I am guessing this is not recommended because this air gun does not have an air pressure regulator, right ?
My apologies as I am incorrect. Maximum pressure of the Hatsan is 300 bar or 4350 psi. However without a regulator it's acting like a big CO2 rifle with the muzzle velocity dropping with every shot. If it could be regulated at 3000 psi (just an example) you would have several consistant shots before experiencing a noticable drop.
AHa not sure about yours, I seem to have this problem with the return spring, like some others, I am getting valve dump. dumpts a whole full cyinder in one hit, Not impressed . back to the shop.
.@@alaskacutthecord769 My one is now in for repair, hope it does not happen again. on a different note, now they are robbing everyone of their powder burner, its going to give be a huge sales boost to these types of riles, I am thinking..?
It probably would if it worked consistently. I can't seem to make that happen. You should watch the FX mark 3 video. That is a gun that absolutely would do just that. Also, it's legal to hunt with in many places.
@@alaskacutthecord769 I live in N.C where there are no caliber restrictions or regulations so what rifle would you recommend that's under $1000 ,any caliber that can accurately shoot a deer in the head at 150yds and have enough fpe to penetrate a deer skull at 150yds and fps to reach said deer before it ducks my slug ???
@@cray-z7404 I spend as little as possible on a lot of things in my life but guns and optics aren't two things that I would do that on. Two things make this a difficult question. The range and the price. As far as caliber at that slower fps I wouldn't go smaller that .357 or 9mm. I've shot lots of deer with 7mm but that round is really moving. Smaller than that you really don't have the knock down power at under 950 fps with such a light bullet. If I were you I'd save my money and really get your money's worth for it. I know that AEA and Texas Airguns make some really nice tools as well as FX when it comes to accuracy at that range. But you need a slug with some weight behind it to accomplish your goals. My FX with optics is almost three times what you're looking to spend and really good optics will cost almost as much as a gun. A gun is only as good as the optics on it. Let me know what you decide to do. One last note. You cannot practice enough for that once in a lifetime shot. Ive never been to NC. How's the hunting there?
@@alaskacutthecord769 hunting here is decent on private farms & OK on public my first buck at 13 scored 156 5/8 B&C ... I CAN'T COMPLAIN BUT ITS DEFINITELY NOT MONTANA OR ALASKA LOL ... I MAY GET A AEA ZUES WITH BOTH BARRELS .58CAL AND. 72CAL ...
Sorry ask: I have just got the same gun, nothing about putting the O rings on the filler connector to the rifle, had to work out for myself. . Also looks like I have about an 8mm fast connecor to the hose from the compressor, female 8mm. and about 9.5mil male hreaded connector at he back end of the rifle connector. somehow I now have to find a male to female connector, which we never got. . what did you use? If that makes sense! ish hah
I have a quick connect on both the tank and the compressor. Then I bought a double male to go from that to the gun. I bought it from Alaska shooting specialties.
@@BisonWorkshopSometimes you have to look down the barrel. I would just first make sure the gun is clear and depressurization or remove the bottle if possible.
Firstly get rid of that ammo, and get NSA ammo, but before ordering mic the inside of your barrel and get the right size ammo.that ammo your using is garbage 🗑️. At least try what I said and watch the difference.

I'll be sure to save it for ya. It would be worth double if you signed it too!!

I don’t know much about guns but you have gotten yourself a subscriber
Thank you for joining us in our journey! Who knows what is going to happen next😊
@@alaskacutthecord769 no problem, I am definitely excited!

Curious why you only filled to 250bar. Piledriver fills to 300
That's what was in the tank. I know, right.
That’s the issue with high power guns like these. They use sooo much air so they require frequent topping off, and so you can really only shoot it a few times between fill ups.

I shoot 550 grain 874 ft energy 150 yards right trough empty prop.tank no problem. Fo those none believers. It a monster great gun for price.
Can we shoot with a tethered, large air bottle at 4200psi ? I am guessing this is not recommended because this air gun does not have an air pressure regulator, right ?
Correct, if this were like the FX that has 3 regulators you'd have no problem.
But this video shows tethered at 3800psi external tank?

Well, I haven't had that happen yet. Maybe tommorw. Hope not though.

It would definitely stand to reason that this would be true. Definitely worth it to spend the money on the quality air guns though.
Will this rifle shoot consistently & accurately at a deers head at 100-200 yards 🤔
It probably would if it worked consistently. I can't seem to make that happen. You should watch the FX mark 3 video. That is a gun that absolutely would do just that. Also, it's legal to hunt with in many places.

That Umarex air compressor is so loud I have to wear ear plugs.
You're right it is loud but so far works ok.
NEVER look in the barrel..
when i seen him looking down the barrel. i lost all respect for this video.
