My New Kalibrgun Cricket Standard .35 Hands on Info & Thoughts Review

[William]

A couple of years ago airgunners would have thought you were nuts if you said I have a 115 fpe bullpup, it shoots 1" groups at 65 yards, gets 20 shots per fill, backyard friendly and its a 9mm. Thanks for all the info and updates.

Now... the compressor. Is it a good source for filling? Would you recommend one?

115 fpe bullpup sounds funny now but you are right, wouldn't shoot it in some backyards, it is not real quiet but could be made quieter, the thing is wicked when you shoot it, its a noise you won't ever forget but yet can't explain. The noise is like some kind of space gun going off, with the ping and a high pitch twang or something and then you hear it cracking into the target (cardboard and plywood backing) yes its a cracking funny noise when it hits, almost scary. A lot different than my Sam Yang Recluse and it hits at about 147 FPE!

As for the compressor it is the Omega Super Charger and I think there is one of them old wringer washing machines inside 
Don't worry though, it's not loud at all you can't really hear it if you are 1 or 2 rooms away, even if your not you can still talk normal over it and even watch TV in the same room, well it might get a little annoying but who cares I have air and plenty of it.
Once you figure out what you want or need the settings at its as easy to use as turning on a light switch!

Omega Super Charger 4500 PSI Compressor
My true thoughts on it are: Its quiet, water cooled (stays cool), portable (uses 110 standard outlet), heavy (75 lbs), fills fast and best of all I filled all my tanks up today and my Cricket .35 cal and I didn't even have to leave the house. I'm in love   

Fill times on various tanks:
Air Venturi 90 cu in 4500 PSI = 22 Minutes from 2000 PSI > 4500 PSI.
68 cu in 4500 Paintball tank = 18 minutes from 1800 PSI > 4400 PSI.
Cricket .35 350 CC air tube  = 8 minutes from 1500 PSI > 4350 PSI.
100 CF 3300 PSI Dive Tank  = 50 minutes from 2500 PSI > 3400 PSI.

It comes with extra antifreeze coolant as well as a tube of top end grease and a rebuild kit as well as extra burst disc's and the tools to work on it if you need to rebuild it! Lets hope the latter is a lot later down the road!

Yes I would recommend this 100% even though I have only run it a couple hours, it did save me about $30.00 already today by not having to make a 30 mile trip for air, it will take awhile to pay for itself, but it is well worth every penny! They do have a cheaper model as well, it just doesn't have the auto moisture bleed on it or an enclosure around it!

There should be a new law put on the books  Every household should have to own a high pressure compressor 

Thanks everyone,

William

The ultimate setup for anyone that has a PCP. What good is a fighter jet or really cool hod rod without fuel on hand? My next big airgun purchase will be a 4500 psi compressor.

I am sure most GTA members would like to see your review of the Omega Super Charger 4500 PSI Compressor in "All Air Gun Accessories Gate".

Thanks again for all the updates and info.
