I was motivated to post this because of the airgun channels that were deleted from Youtube. These anti gun individuals don’t know the difference between air guns and powder burners. They hate all guns and all gun owners.

I believe that it is the 30cm version. It is the “classic” length.

Are you familiar with the Daystate Regal XL? That gun has a “slingshot” hammer and an “improved” valve. It is an anti bounce hammer. That gun without a regulator is getting 50 shots. They have figured out how to be most efficient with the available air. Robert Lane’s…Read more

It came set it to 140-145bar (2175psi). I have read that shorter barreled airguns need a greater blast to make up for their shorter barrel. Mr. Lane has stated in the regulator instructions that the pressure that the regulator is set to is the last adjustment to be made.

That makes sense. Matt Dubber in South Africa stated in his review that the Streamline’s “lower” cost is due to changes in the production/assembly techniques (obviously not good changes).
