Really? A pcp that "produces" its own air?? Remarkable.
Got a link?

I've seen on-board pumps but a synthetic air generator, wow!
My standard Daystate Mk.3 can be filled to 3500 psi, and can also fire 30 grain 22LR bullets

I think he's talking about a home built condor named the "Vulture" by its builder. Barrels from .177" through .458". 466fpe with 420grain @750fps.
Shoots 10.5gr (.177)Kodiaks @ a shade over 1400fps. Claims the light weight .177's are going 1577fps.
Walter has a long history (30yrs) of building pcps, so I'll reserve judgement on that claim.
Daystate ... indeed.

Very nice Jack...you'd better save some pennys (Maybe make that dollars.) and get that Whiscombe to keep it company.

Euros actually
to be honest these days I have better things to throw my disposable income at, I'd rather travel than have a lot of rifles which I polish/cuddle frequently but rarely get the chance to use properly. I'm happy enough with my
collection as it is

Don't fight the addiction Jack, that only makes it worse.
The rifle on the bottom looks interesting. A pistol with some attached goodies?

Pretty much.
The forend is basically a hollow extension (which I turned into a suppressor
) while the rear stock has a cool little periscopic sight that lets you look down the pistol's original iron sights. Fun little plinker
and with the forend on and pistol grip you get that bad-ass sawn off shotgun feel hehe

In one of my many odd parts bins, no wonder it went unnoticed for so long

Ahaha... almost sounds like it was trying to hide, and escape furthur experimentation
