villaman 9,983 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Dr Bob does a buddy bottle conversion kit for the hw100. Makes the gun just so ugly though. I have two HW100 and both have the A&M. , made a big difference to weight and shot count 2 Quote Link to post
John Stott 202 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I had thought about that light bottle, seems pricey to me but thanks for the observations. By this is a good place for info! 1 Quote Link to post
MarcFloyd 18 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) What difference does it make to the shot count? Working pressure is the same... Edited March 29, 2015 by MarcFloyd Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 On my .22 I am getting about 110 ,that's from 200 down to 100 bar , on my .177 about 75 shots from 200 down to100 bar Quote Link to post
MarcFloyd 18 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) I need to count how many I get now, but I was under impression it was about 90ish...? In .22. So there is a little bit more. I am wondering how it works though. If the size is the same and the pressure as well, theoretically it should contain the same quantity of air..!?

Bunnyblatter 1,012 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I used to get about 6 mags in my .22. I probably get 5-6 in my .20 and that's plenty for a night in the field Quote Link to post
