Breaking benjamin pcp Videos

I own MAGNUM AIRPOWER and the .com by that name. Because of this incident I have been getting a lot of questions about the safety of PCP guns. I viewed the original video and this one after several customers expressed alarm over it. You used a Discovery valve with one single Discovery valve screw holding it in. The tube clearly only has one screw hole on the bottom for the Discovery valve screw. You converted the gun to PCP using a HiPAC but you cut part of that HiPAC off so that the 2400KT tube was pressurized. First mistake, the Discovery screw was never meant to handle 2000 PSI by itself. The Discovery model uses three of those screws to handle that same amount of pressure. Second mistake, you were taking the gun apart while it was pressurized with 1800-2000 PSI. The gun was completely disassembled except for the pressurized tube assembly and the trigger frame. You say the gun exploded when you were removing the trigger frame. The end cap and striker had already been removed so only the front trigger frame screw was left. The single valve screw had already failed so that front trigger frame screw was the only thing keeping that valve in the tube. When you started to remove that screw the valve shot out of the tube like a bullet. At the moment of failure the tube shot up into the ceiling like a rocket and the HiPAC was broken off on impact. You've got a lot of people terrified of PCP guns now because of all the confusion and hype over this incident. I really hope you eventually realize this was a simple accident that was your own fault. It wasn't the HiPAC at fault and PCP guns when handled properly are not dangerous. You seem like a good man and I sincerely don't believe the video is a hoax. I'm just sick of answering questions about it and wish you would put it to rest already. I am glad you were not more seriously hurt in this learning experience.

Bottom line is "don't screw with the HiPAC". The wall thickness at the break point may raise a question, as does altering the HiPAC to work in a manner for which it wasn't designed. Considering that in five years and only one separation to ever occurred. My expert has a different opinion which makes more sense, and says that the unit being altered by the user as the cause of the break, due to tooling. Tooling marks on the broken parts clearly indicate that the unit was squeezed into a vise causing the metal to flex.

Thanks guys,very helpful!The info in this video might safe some people's lives.However,my brother bought benjamin pump and hipac with 2 ext. and when he put everything together,up to 2000psi,the velocity was almost as twice as slower than with a regular 12g co2.Could it be the issue with the seal on factory valve that still remains the same as for co2 or something else??Thanks for any advise!!

Randy, I sure you are aware that many airgunners are trying to figure out just what happened. Could you please answer 2 questions for us.1. When the gun exploded, was it ripped from your hands and thrown across the room?2. If that is the case, where did the gun (tube) end up, and did it hit anything on the way there?Thanks.... Bob

What's the max fps you're allotted to use over there? Or is it fpe?

Have you not shot the Parker Hale Phoenix.

Hello, im from chile, i want buy a rifle .22 to hunt rabbits and birds i want to ask you what rifle i have to buy: Air arms s200 10 Umarex r8 Benjamin marauder Sumatra Yoy can make a list wich you recomend ne between this rifle Make me a top 3 please Tanks PD: if you now other rifle for the same prize, let me now

It's an innovative design, surely the stock is so large, perhaps it needs a reservoir built in there. Imagine having a large gas container in there with a tube leading up to the firing mechanism. The home made US airguns seem to do this. PCP is the way to go.

how many shots did you need to take before your Benjamin stopped dieseling? I have put 50 through already and it still smokes, and sounds like I am shooting a black powder rifle!!! the power is amazing but I wonder if that is due in part to the added help of the dieseling.After putting the first 25 shots through(in my basement) I needed ear plugs !! my ears rang for about 4 hours!!! The accuracy is getting better with every 5 round group,and I added some aquarium floss into the baffle to try to reduce the muzzle report.I may try to reduce the size of the opening at the muzzle end(shroud screw hole, is much larger than .25 cal) with foam rubber washers.

This air rifle is ridiculously expensive for the power. You can get the much more powerful Hatsan 125 sniper for less.

Excelente video! amigo tengo un Bejamin Armada, es el mismo que el marauder, pero sabes como desmontarlo de la estructura? lo que pasa es que salio caro y me la pienso para intentar desarmarlo sin ayuda. Saludos!

prejudice I disassemble my benjamin, but in the assembly there 'leaking air !!! could you help me pls .... thanks

Friend the benjamin marauder brings muffler ??

Muy buen video! Ambos la verdad. Tengo un Marauder, un día lo llené con unas 2700psi, a los dos dias lo fuí a usar y ya no tenía presión en el tanque. Trato de volver a llenar el tanque y pierde el aire por el cañón. Ya ordené el kit de o-rings para cambiarlos todos, espero que se corrija el problema. Se ve que sabes bastante del tema, si tienes una idea de que puede ser lo que le pasó al mio, agradecería cualquier ayuda. Pura vida! Saludos desde Costa Rica.
