They were the same size as CO2 powerletts and they were re-fillable. The deal was you buy this pump and a set of powerletts and then you can refill your own. Also said to be better than CO2. Harder hitting, less wear on you seals, all that. Looked like they would be great on a Crosman 22xx type gun. Has anybody else seen these? Did the company go belly up, or ar they still out there?   Posted: Fri Oct 09, 2009 10:01 am rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Total waste of time.... CO2 is stored in a powerlet as a liquid and increases volume many fold when it evaporates, hence the relatively large shot count available from a powerlet.... The same volume of compressed air would produce only a fraction of the number of shots at a continually declining velocity.... Any claim of increased power would be as a result of pressures higher than CO2 and then you get into a safety concern as well....

Some have said it can be used with CO2. I've heard of others. Am trying to evaluate them all. Thx. _________________ Mike www.FizzGiz.com compressed air powerletts     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Accessories You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
