During testing the unit was able to fill the 216cc cylinder on an Air Arms S410 Classic from 90 Bar to 200 BAR in as little as 4.5 minutes. The adjustable, automatic shut-off allows you to set the compressor to the exact fill pressure of your rifle (up to 300 Bar) and the unit stops when that pressure is reached. The compressor is equipped with a fan to keep the system from overheating. Always switch the fan on before use and keep it on for a few moments after use. It takes the compressor an average of 3 minutes to fill a 1000psi PCP tank. Use the compressor with a normal household plug or connect it to a 12V motor battery. FEATURES OF THE 12V PCP COMPRESSOR I’ve always favoured a dedicated pump, but whilst I desperately need the exercise, this mini-workout regimen isn’t for everyone. By far the most popular method is to own a diver’s bottle from which to charge the gun from the bottle, and over time, have the bottle refilled and eventually safety-tested, by an authorised diving shop/gun shop.

Last on the list of filling options is the hand pump. These are not bicycle tire pumps, but ones made specifically for airgunners. Using a hand pump is the ultimate in self-sufficiency, and they’re comparatively inexpensive. Important note: The Rover air compressor can only be used for filling your airrifle pressure tube or pressure bottle with a 600cc capacity. It can not be used for breathing air cylinders or scuba cylinders. Only for filing your Airgun directly. Or small Carbon Bottles found on PCP Airguns. Not Larger Capacity Carbon Bottles or Scuba Tanks. Please call me 0427576388 if any questions.

From hand pumps, compact 12V to high performing 220V compressors, we have them all. Shop a variety of compressor options to fit the needs of everyone. From casual, weekend warriors to gun clubs and shooting ranges. Fill time will depend on the particular gun; stating the obvious, but guns with larger cylinders will take longer. I happened to have a BSA Scorpion Tactical lying about for my test period, and this pleasantly compact rifle does have quite a small cylinder.

We have also taken the time to write a clear, comprehensive User Manual in ‘English, English’ so that users can use their new compressor safely and efficiently from the get-go The 12 V DC or 220 V AC connection makes it possible to use the compressor in home or on location on 12V from a car's battery. As mentioned, BSA’s compressor gives the user the choice of running it from a car battery, but given that the majority of shooters will opt for the rather more civilised route of mains plug-in, I’ll cover that process first.On the other hand, PCP pumps are favored by more serious and dedicated airsoft and paintball enthusiasts. These pumps allow users to charge a reservoir with high-pressure air. PCP pumps are known for their reliability and can be used repeatedly, making them a cost-effective choice for those who engage in these sports regularly. If you fancy the car battery route, then follow as above, but this time, select ‘DC12V’ on the red switch, then connect the two ‘jump lead’ cables to the plus, and the minus terminals on the car’s battery. Keep the car engine running whilst the operation is carried out, too, as with jump starting, especially if you have an iffy car battery, so as not to run down the battery in any way. We do recommend you get the right compressor oil or silicon lube where necessary. Likewise, investing in proper filters will prevent moisture and debris entering your airgun’s air reservoir. You can find these under our Fittings / Filling Accessories category. Connect the push-fit mains cable, and plug into the mains. Gentle fans can now be heard to start up.
