I grew up with a decent outdoor range nearby and fortunately live near a small indoor range, so as a family, we all shoot. The wife has a little Uragan 2 Compact, daughter has a customised HW100 bullpup conversion, son tends to use my MK1 Cricket and I have a MK2 Impact and Leshiy amongst a few others. People sometimes have preconceptions about shooting sports, so occasionally I arrange for a group to come along and have a go for an hour, I supply the kit and they see what it's actually like vs what they think. This is much to the amusement of my RO, and last time as the numbers kept climbing from 2 to 6 he joked I was going to run out of guns, I had to reassure him that wasn't going to be a problem any time soon, but if he had any spare cases to transport them in, I wouldn't say no
I've just started to get back into informal 10m pistol shooting, but it's fair to say i'm below average on a good day at this point
That's pretty good going I wasn't aware they're using the same cylinder, I've not used mine in a long time but I'm pretty sure I was only getting 60-75 out of it.
They don't, they're two different parts and not interchangeable afaik. Ratworks and HW100 Tuning do lighter/bigger cylinders, the RW unit is alloy, HW100 Tuning do a titanium version, both can improve shot count as they're slightly bigger, the standard HW100 cylinder also weighs a ton. I would strongly suggest not buying an A&M cylinder, they have a 'safety feature' that is designed to vent excess pressure (remember, we're talking 200bar+ here) through a weakened section of the aluminium cylinder wall, if that sounds insane, it's because it is, nobody designs pressure vessels like that, and examples exist of this randomly failing and A&M just ask you to pay to replace it.
