Filling

The gun has some sort of a restictor in it. The fill is very slow. Your tank gauge will be showing your tank pressure when filling (because the flow restriction is there). To see what the actual pressure in the gun is close your tank valve and let the gun…Read more

The burst disk is rated at 4500 psi but I wouldn’t recommend filling the tank that high, you probably wouldn’t be able to knock it open.

As the pressure in your tank decreases the tophat will need to open further. Yours may be “bottoming out”.

When the hammer hits the breech it must be in contact with the tophat or you lose a lot of power.

“Also, all good PCP barrels will be choked with a slight constriction at the muzzle. Usually, it’s about half a thousandth, and it’s there to make every pellet of uniform size before it leaves the muzzle. This is why a pellet sizer doesn’t do any good.”

Per my post above the velocity levels off at higher PW settings for both. Therefore I believe I am using the same amount of air for both settings.
