leeclackster 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 right its basically the same as a spring it works on the same princaple as a spring its just has a little less recoil but not a great deal less but you can leave the rifle cocked for as long as you want with out it weakening the power like a unlike a spring the weakens under the prolonged strain of being cocked to long hope this helps if you want more info go to theoben web page they will tell you all about it regards tim Quote Link to post

donnyc 1,203 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Theoben have no gas rams as their supplier stopped supplying them .Different recoil altogether than a spring faster lock time .what gun have you got? Not all will take a gas ram .PM if you want my mate developed them and will supply me. Quote Link to post

fillythebish 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have a HW90 with a gasram which I've recently started using again and have had a springer and these are my OPINIONS so hopefully no one will throw 'da faktz' at me 1. less recoil and it seems less 'two way' than with springers and more manageable 2. less noise 3. harder to cock (or maybe thats just the HW90) 4. alot more consistent (but maybe depends on the maker of the gun) 5. can leave it cocked with no apparent loss of power, but with springers there is a noticeable drop in power. I prefer it to my old springer. Quote Link to post

Hi Fillythebish, i am looking to get my first air rifle and was considering a Weirauch HW97 but was also interested in the gas ram principal that Weirauch have used in their HW90, as an owner of an HW90 would you say that the trigger mech is stiffer than a conventional springer as i have heard that Weirauch had interface issues with their famous smooth trigger mech when matching it to the Theoben gas ram many thanks Fin and fur Quote Link to post
jamie g 17 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 ive had gasrams in webley rifles and in a bsa lightning. and in the lightning it wasnt very good it recoiled harsh and wasnt to my likening. yet in the webley rifles it was fine and better the a spring. my guess is because the bsa lightning is a smaal compact gun you feel it more then the webleys. and it didnt help as the lightning trigger was crap. the trigger was heavy and then when it did pull the ram was very harsh in it. in a hw i would think it would be fine as there bigger well built rifles Quote Link to post
