Mmm, we've had a few of their members visit the UK forums.

I've had a browse of theirs too. Seem to use drinks bottles about as often as piping for pneu chambers.

One chap who talked to me about my cannon alxg(?) said hes run one of the shiny silver QEV's (which I think he did end up getting from the uk site) off 900psi which is basically unregged CO2 pressures :o

here is the translation from french to english of the semi bb gun.

Launcher 6 mm: The Characteristic
PG-1:
Canon: 350mm gauges 6 mm
Room: ~ 20 Cm3
coaxial System
loading by breach and piston charger
manual Trigger actuating a valve
Frequency of shooting: superior has 4 shootings by second
Reserve of air of 2L
Pressure operating: from 2 A 6 bars
Mechanical completely dismountable.
Laser sight.
Performances:
Hole 3 thicknesses of quill has 4,5 bars
Trou the bottom of a cantte (~130m/s) has 5 bars
Energie (ball of 0.12g) has 5 bars: 1 J
Autonomy: 10 shootings has 4 bars (I specify that they is 10 shootings “powerful”, because the charger does not start if the pressure is too low, therefore at the end of the shooting, it remains to me 2 bars in
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

They have a few nice cannons:

http://patator.frbb.net/vos-pacs-person ... -t1990.htm

I didn't bother going through all of them, though most use a soda bottle.

lol on that last one he is really into that sliding scope, keeps on sliding it back and forth, though I dont see why you would ever want your scope to move, that would just make it harder to true.
Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

The last one has a fairly decent silencer on there, at least from what I could tell from the recording playback.
