At 5 Pounds and about 26" this little gun is a joy to carry.With 185 FPE on tap with the Airbolts and 150 with the 200gr bullets she is a perfect short distance, thick environment big game hunter.

My next PCP will be a big bore that can sling bolts, and I really like the PBBA Pro 20, but wonder if the shot shell capability is worth it. Hoping to stay between 200 - 250 bar to avoid booster pumps and the hassle that comes with 300 bar tanks.

I found the REX platform just a perfect Airbolt shooter, power increases with the weight of the projectile.Here is a link with some numbershttps://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=168472.0I did test the Dragon claw .50 with bolts and was great, but next I will buy a REX .50 to shoot bolts out off

Would love something like an Air Force Texan with 500+ FPE, but then I would run into filling issues with that 300 bar tank.
The newer Texans have the Carbon fiber bottles and you can "upgrade" always too. The 50 cal info shows that it can out roughly 800fpe at the expense of fps. At higher velocity is 550-700fpe. Definitely not a woods walker. That would be a mean punishment to give someone the task of taking that around, and a CF bottle would get nicked if it was me and not pass inspection.
