Pcp air rifles

So can you fill the pressurized tanks with a regular 220 electric air compressor?.

How many shots do you get off one tank of air?

I have been thi king of picking one up for a couple of years now.

No, the top end on a standard compressor is about 175 psi.  PCP air guns and scuba tanks run at 3,000 psi.

Shots per fill varies widely depending on the gun, caliber and settings.  Large bore PCPs generally only get a few, full power shots per fill.  Smaller 177 22 & 25 caliber airguns can generally get around 20 full power shots.  I run my .25 until it's empty.  Those are not full power shots but they work well for dispatching.  I've never counted but I probably get 50 or more shots before fill up.  Again, those are on the low power setting and I'll run it until it won't shoot.  A 30 grain round ball will crack a close range skull even at very low pressure.

My experience.  First bought a Hatasn Bullboss .25.  It would group a horrible 6" at 15 yards, so it went back.  Big POS.

Next, bought A Benjamin Marauder .25.   LOVE IT!!  Great trigger, super accurate, and powerful.  Purchased the rifle off a known super-tuner guru off of Gateway to Airguns PCP forums.  He test fired, adjusted trigger weight, tuned for the 33.95 gn heavy pellets I was using for coons.  My groups at 50 yards are probably the size of a quarter.  Mounted a flashlight and 3x9 UTG illuminated reticle cheap scope.  Rabbits, Rats, Raccoon, etc.  all dispatched with one shot.  I use a $50 eBay Chinese hand pump.  Pump-up after each empty mag, usually from 2500 back to 3000psi.  I don't mind; it's not that hard for a grown man, takes just a minute.  I leave the gun pressurized and ready to go at all times, in case the Mrs. needs to defend her chickens.  The Mrs. enjoys shooting as well since it has no recoil and no noise and we can shoot in yard; don't have to drive to range.  Mrs. brags to her girlfriends what an awesome shot she is.  Awesome gun.  Nice & quiet.  Backyard friendly.

If anyone wants to get into this there's a guy in Colville WA with some pretty sweet setups, scuba tanks, pellet molds,  big .357 cal pellets and larger even. 

He's by Super 1 and Circle D transmission...not sure the name of his place.  It's work in progress.
