 Welcome to Pyramid Air's final installment of the TNT series air gun depots got one more video to go with Travis Patton And I talking about all things air gun today's episode. We're going to be talking about the price of compressors How much lower will they go and we're also going to talk about kind of a hot-button topic right now in the industry Our springer is dead. Check it out Tyler why don't you take this and you've had a lot of you know work behind the scenes with compressors and so forth sure Interesting question for one purely because right now you have like tariffs in China You know between the US and China kind of driving prices up actually but really we need to distinguish between personal compressors like the nomad and the traveler and Bigger compressors that are capable of filling tanks more readily like your airventury 4500 compressor as well as your Benjamin recharge I think you know you guys are selling like the Omega trail charger Which kind of blends that in there a little bit You know I think you're gonna see you have the stuff from China the unbranded stuff That's available for a couple hundred bucks, but you're taking a little bit of a risk there We've tried a bunch of them in-house and I can't recommend any of them on a personal basis Just because we haven't had good luck with that stuff You have to be a bit of a handyman you do to pick up one of those Yeah, and in getting parts for them can be quite tricky as well Because a lot of these manufacturers in China are kind of faceless and nameless So it can be difficult for sure without that US support But to address the question I think you're gonna see at some point a personal compressor like a nomad style compressor fulfilling your gun Probably in the four hundred dollar range. I think that's gonna be what ends up being the sweet spot But taking out the tariffs right and that's the whole thing So, you know, I know you had like the nomad one and then the nomad two and I think that May have confused people a little bit because there were you know things just happened so quickly in the industry But yeah, I think four maybe five hundred at the most for that kind of compressor And I think we're gonna end up around a thousand bucks for a personal like tank filling compressor I think that's gonna be kind of the sweet spot for that Hmm. No, not yet. Really? All right, so like I guess to me that question is like what's the next technological leap, right? Because for springing gas-pissing guns Where's the innovation anymore, right? It's a couple years ago. It was the gas ramp, right? And then now everybody's got one. So Where do we go from here? I'm what are your thoughts? I Mean, I mean when I think of technological innovations that can take place I think of things that have already happened that just haven't made it main spring main mainstream main spring There you go. That was where you have You know like opposing pistons and so forth, you know to read a recoil and Things like that. I mean these have already come out and the problem is there's just not the market for them now I mean they cost so much and it's hard to sell somebody a thousand dollars springer Well, and to be fair what Travis is talking about is a is a whisk-a-mare rifle Which had two opposing pistons that created a truly recoil-less gun without a sled system and they were Handmade works of art. I've shot a few and they're incredible guns, but they can also be very temperamental It's not like it's it's not a PCP right at the end of the day. It's not a PCP $1,000, you know gas piston or spring piston rifle just isn't gonna fly right For me, I think that the only place that spring guns have left to go is getting a magnum powered spring gun to cock Like a youth rifle, and I don't know I don't know if that's possible for one I'm sure you know mechanically there has to be some way to do it but that's the big one for me is that if you can make a Hunting powered, you know for maybe medium-sized, you know raccoon size game Accessible to somebody that isn't able to handle a 45 50 pound cocking effort. That's definitely a game changer So if we can see something like that, I think there's a place for it if it's price right But a lot of that wouldn't especially when it comes to a spring gun or a gas piston. It's price dictates everything Especially now that multi shots are readily available. Yeah, I mean the CIG ASB 20 is probably the closest to that But it's still I thought no this is this is so easy to cock. I mean relatively speaking in and for a kind of a Yeah, so you know and look there have been guns before I actually had the opportunity a couple years ago to shoot a Electronic cocking spring gun, which is really cool. It had like a Nikad battery in it You hit a button once it's charged up and it just click That's really neat But that's not a like a solution, right? Because that's not something you can just pick up at the back door and go So yeah, I think that's kind of the now that multi shots are there I think that's really the next step because I don't think you're gonna get more big bore break barrels or You know spring gas piston guns and I don't think the recoil is concept whether it's a sled system or an opposing piston system It can be done Expensively and and well and also well That being the qualifier. So yeah, I think the cocking efforts definitely a big one And the real problem with innovation in that area is that PCPs have dropped or have gotten you know, I'm gonna pay three or four hundred dollars It's hard to tell somebody you know pick up a really nice springer when they can pick up a PCP and not have any effort involved Yeah, absolutely, and it's really it's really hurt the the break barrel market Especially like if you walk into a local big-box store those guns are just sitting on the shelf now They're not flying off like they were you know, even a 1400 FPS number doesn't catch your attention anymore Because there's more people that know about air guns and kind of know what's what now So I think PCPs have really heard that market quite a bit. Yeah.
