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.

What's up Shorty?

When a short carbine just isn't short enough ... you end up with an Ultra-Carbine, or Maxi-Carbine, or a Mini-Carbine ... you get the picture.

So this Tornado Ultra-Carbine has a 12 inch barrel and is upgradeable to multishot. That's a cut down Leapers Bipod it's sitting on.



33 inch over all length, from the buttplate to the tip of the silencer ...



But is it accurate?



The middle target has about 10 shots through it at 18 yards. It likes JSB .22's, running at 740fps for 30 shots.

Zing!

Some pics to get caught up....

I've had several rounds of pics that Noli had sent me and not had time to upload, so I'll be posting a lot of pics just to catch up on things before I move on to my 2nd runner-up win at my first ever major sillywet event in the Philippines. Did I mention I got 2nd runner up? Heheh....

First up is the new Big Boy Caiman Carbine ... shorter barrel and shorter tank, but still a helluva shooter that gets a huge amount of consistent shots.




Note the nice stippling ...



Next are pics from the Pampanga Shoot where the Bigboy Tornado in multishot configuration made its first appearance. Also in attendance were a couple of other Tornados and the prototype Tornado pistol. This was also where Filarms competed in their first Benchrest Competition. Congratulations to our HW barrel promotion winner, the first shooters to use a Filarms rifle to garner wins in a major MS event.

Then we have pics from the Armscor Invitational that I posted about earlier
