jenksi87 3 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 can you charge a pcp using an oxygen bottle (ones used to help breathing? instead of a diving bottle? i know there obviously much smaller o you wont get no where near as much out of them but is it possible? Quote Link to post
RaiderBoy 19 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 that would be very dodgy filling a pcp with oxygen. if you were just going to refil it with air and it was ok to go up to 200 bar and if you could find anyone willing to fill it you could Quote Link to post

Noooooooo the parts in the gun have oils and grease on them and that does not go to well with oxygen. It would give you one bang out of the rifle, a big one mind you but just the one bang.

jenksi87 3 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 its not full of oxygen. the tanks empty. would be taking it to the local dive centre to fill with air. just wondered if it would be possible? i.e pressure wise and capacity Quote Link to post

jenksi87 3 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 the tank is 183bar ad the gun is an s310 Quote Link to post
SEAN3513 7 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 simple answer......NO!!!!!!!!!! use a dive bottle or a stirrup pump..........throw your oxygen bottle away and never go near it again !!!!!!!!!!! cheers sean Quote Link to post
Freddy Watts 1 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I would have to say no aswell jenksi87 but if you want to know for sure then go ask the guys at the dive centre they will be the ones filling it and they will soon tell you if they will allow it to be filled with breathing air. But even if they did you would not get many usable charges from 183 bar so really is not worth the effort. I would just either use a pump or get a dive bottle which will be much more useful and safer. ATB Freddy Quote Link to post
Guest Scuba1 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 the tank is 183bar ad the gun is an s310 Just a few hang ups here 1: the fill pressure of your gun and the cylinder you are filling from is the same i.e. you are not going to get more then one full fill out of your cylinder. 2: Oxygen cylinder use different valves to dive cylinders and you would be pushed to find an adapter for your filling kit 3: Dive shops will or can not fill a oxygen cylinder because of the different valve on it. In short forget it sorry ATB Michael Quote Link to post
