I recently started a new hobby of PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) air rifles. My rifle is a .45 caliber 'Western Big Bore Bushbuck'. It can send a 475 grain bullet downrange with over 600 ft/lbs of energy. That's more power than a .45 ACP. To charge the rifle requires 4,500 psi of compressed air. I start with a scuba tank which gets me most of the way there, then finish it off to 4500 with a booster pump. One fill gets you 2 shots.
This gun sounds like a cannon going off, so to prevent disturbing my neighbors I added a silencer (suppressor). The silencer, actually two of them connected together, adds 17-inches to the barrel length. Kind of ridiculous but ok for bench shooting from my back yard and the neighbors can't hear a thing. Luckily my house borders empty fields with no neighbors on one side for a mile.
