The Medium Reservoir

The Medium reservoir is 1.60in or 40.64mm in diameter. It was unofficially and un-inspiredly christened The Medium because at the time we were testing it, its outside dimensions fell almost exactly between our regular reservoir at 1.26in/32mm and the Bigboy reservoir that was 1.9in/48.25mm. The name stuck and the rest is history. We've noticed other makers call their similarly sized reservoirs Medium as well. At least it wasn't the first time we started a trend by accident.

Here are a couple of examples:


This is the Caiman in Light Hunter config, with a Medium reservoir and carbon fiber silencer.

This is one of the first shrouded Caiman Carbines that used the Medium reservoir.

Philippine based clients only....

The fiberglass wrapped 4500 psi max fill tanks are now available, recently hyrdo'd and all ready to go. They fill to 4500 psi and weigh about 15 lbs. Limited supply so don't wait. Please contact Noli for pricing and ETA. He will also have the fill adaptors that fit on them.

We are constantly trying to supply the filipino PCP users with the cheapest possible way to enjoy their hobbies, first the Leapers scopes and now this, SCBA tanks that will cost just a little more than a pump and are a very easy and economical way to refill your rifles, but will not give you a hernia everytime you try and fill your gun. =)





Come and get 'em, we are now taking deposits.

Racing Silencers are now available...

Hehe..just kidding about the racing part, but seeing as how Carbon Fiber is used for race cars, it just seemed appropriate.



It does look kinda fast tho eh? Hehe. Final versions will have anodized tips.

Why a shroud?

Some of you might ask, why a shroud? Well, installing a shroud accomplishes different purposes for different users. There are those who would prefer not to have a detachable silencer that they'd have to attach everytime they want to shoot. The shroud is a PERMANENT attachment that does the same job, without the potential legal and technical hassles that having a detachable silencer may present. Besides, they do look really really cool! :-)

Our choice of shroud material is 1in dia carbon fiber tube. It is extremely light (that 20 inch length is only 2 ounces), rigid, and very strong. As a follow up to our shroud experimentation, here's our progress on the shroud project.

The cf shroud was tipped with aluminum and has basically the same internals as our Thrust Vector Silencers. Testing on the DB meter showed similar sound characteristics too.

Shown here it is mounted on a Tornado frame and temporarily attached to a standard stock.








Here it is in final configuration on a Multishot Tornado with a laminate stock.









Note the extra length reservoir. =)
