FX Carbon Air Cylinder, 480 cc

The FX Carbon 480 cc air cylinder is a carbon fibre air bottle for a range of FX air rifles: FX Impact, Boss, Crown, Royale 400 and Royale 500. It is a good middle choice for the shooter who wants more shots per fill than with a small bottle, but does not want the extra length and weight of the largest cylinder.

The cylinder has a working pressure of 250 bar and weighs only 450 g. It can be used as a spare, so you have a full bottle ready when the first is empty, or as an upgrade if your rifle came with a smaller bottle. Only use it on the models listed above.

The middle size in FX's carbon range

480 cc gives a good balance between number of shots, weight and handling.

• 480 cc volume: Considerably more air than a 300 cc bottle, giving more shots per fill and longer between fills.
• 450 g weight: The carbon fibre construction keeps the weight down compared with an aluminium cylinder of the same size.
• 250 bar working pressure: The high pressure makes full use of the cylinder's volume and suits 250 bar filling equipment.
• Broad compatibility: According to the supplier, fits the FX Impact, Boss, Crown, Royale 400 and Royale 500.
• Spare or upgrade: Can be used as an extra full bottle for a long day or as a permanent upgrade from a smaller cylinder.

Maintenance and safety

• Only fill with clean, dry compressed air and never above 250 bar.
• Check O-rings and threads before fitting, and follow the air rifle's manual for removing and fitting the cylinder.
• Avoid knocks, drops and direct heat. A cylinder with visible damage should not be filled until it has been inspected.
• Store the cylinder dry and at room temperature, and store the air rifle unloaded and out of reach of children.
