Did you just admit that there is hollow points in the AEA and ball rounds in the .45 ACP? You do realize that this completely invalidates the penetration test, right? Ball rounds are known for over penetration. I am not saying that round nosed slugs in the AEA .45 will penetrate as much as the ACP....but you have to do apples to apples, and the AEA may have been able to penetrate through the wood as well if not running hollow points
Lol nah let's keep it a secret how strong these are. He let you and I know by revealing that on purpose bro lol delete the comment quick before people get wise to how pcp may now be more powerful than a firearm HAH we better keep it a secret but still drive sales for companies.
Hi JC, I loved seeing this comparison, very interesting and fun. I also never imagined it was possible to see airguns reaching this level. Unthinkable. But there's one thing airguns will never have. The fantastic smell of burning gunpowder. AEA looks good. Thanks JC great weekend 👍🏻😉
Hi Steve, I have been impressed with the products they are coming out with. I have a few new AEA models I will be reviewing this summer. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😉
Concerning AEA products, in short time I’ve been paying attention, seems they have and continue to address failings on their side. Looks like they have pretty durable, functional and very reasonably priced products. Good chose. Appreciate
You keep ‘em coming too, JC. Love your posts. In fact, you and Moose got me into this thing. Great comparisons. Love my 1911s. But for now, I keep giving Bin and Leticia my paychecks. Looking forward to your next post. 👊J
Thank you so so much for making this this video I've been waiting forever for someone to make on the HP Max 45 this is the best video by far. Awsom if you can find the time make another video please
@@AirgunDetectives What about those elite one's that foxpower made. I mean i think he put a reg on it and did some trigger work along with some other stuff.
I HAVE 19 AIR GUNS RANGING FROM 17 CALIBER TO 30 CALIBER I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A 45 CALIBER I BELIEVE YOU JUST CONVINCED ME I HAVE A 88 HP SS PLUS 30 THIS 45 CALIBER COULD BE THE BIG BROTHER THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
I bet you had fun doing that shooting. Impressive! I wish some of my firearm friends would realize the advancements being made with airguns. Thanks for the review!
nice air gun. I have the .357 version. absolutely love it. I would like to get the .45 version. but that would put me at 18 air guns. I don't have enough time to shoot them all now. but I have to feed the addiction of air. I can't help myself.
Tell me about it...one day I woke up and had 300 airguns. The next thing you know, I'm reviewing them on RU-vid. I told my wife, it's not an addiction, it's a hobby!😆😆
And Tell Me about it one day I wake up and had 576 air guns. I told my wife it's no an addiction hell nooo this is a hobby 😅😅😅😅😅 but the different that everybody here in RU-vid that air guns company's send the air guns to people here to make revenues. But no me because I bought all my air guns with my own money but you know what? I told my wife that still is not an addiction is part of my hobby 😅😅😅😅😅
Nice. Closer comparison would be with slugs closer to the acp bullet weight in the AEA, and properly tuned. I think it would have beat out the .45 avp in that case. However, point made is that pcp aur guns at least are now serious weapons, usable for hunting and at least home defense.
That is some great Backyard friendly guns there lol (Just Kidding). Airguns are exciting and fun to shoot. I’m happy with my 1800psi regulated output airgun, which shoots a little shy of 20FPE. Lots of fun and more power than I need hihi
where I hunt deer and hogs, average distance is within 35 yards. this pistol is perfect for that. I have the .357 and it drops game consistently out to 220 yards.
HI JC, I appreciate the time and energy you put into this the comparison it is intriguing. That said I wish you guys(airgun RU-vidrs) wouldn't post videos like this. In our current political climate I'm not sure its the best choice to bring the power of these airguns to light. We are inviting federal scrutiny and the first time someone uses one of these or a gun similar to it in a crime then we will be having to face buying airguns from an FFL just like firearms. Or have them neutered like the Brits deal with. The ATF has already demonstrated they can and will change rules with or without Congressional oversight. Just my two cents.
JC may not have a comment, but I do. What separates America from everywhere else? Choices. Where there's a will among the foolish, there's a way. Finally, don't be stupid and "shoot the messenger." Seems to me to be an adolescent response to making adult decisions.
You can't live your life and base your decisions on how others may act or respond. If you are not doing anything wrong but just enjoying a hobby. Let the cards lay where they fall. Additionally, Airguns are not firearms and are not classified as such in the US. They are much more limited in their overall use. The last time I checked, it takes a significant time to air-up a PCP rifle. Not to mention, the shot capacity is very limited in comparison. Also, the ATF, who I have friends that work for the agency, are already fully aware of the capabilities of the modern day airguns. Happy Shooting 👍🏻😉
New subscriber. Not a big fan of RU-vidrs. They just ramble and go on. But you are really engaging and professional. Keep making your videos! I’ll share them.
That was very cool really enjoyed that comparison. Would like to see an air gun versus a firearm where they have the same amount of energy even if there not the same caliber.
It made it completely through one of the 2x8 and 1/2 way through the other. Ball ammo may have made it all the way through. We were shooting Hollow points. 😉👍🏻
Aea litterally sell aea branded 230grain 45cal slugs specifically for that air gun on their website. Also i would test the aea s45 against the 45auto since its a 8shot semi automatic 400ftlb air rifle made by aea that looks almot identicle to the hpmax has the same length barrel but almost 3x the shotcount and alot more power, more power than even 45auto could provide at around 400too 450ftlb. I think that would be the better comparison since both would be semi auto both would have the same 8 shot magazine capacity and both would be classified as pistols and you could shoot the same exact weight and type of slug as the 45auto equivilant being the best comparison you can do if your really comparing the two
Thanks for the video, just curious....did you top off the aea 4500 psi for these tests? I think you said 250 bar is that correct? Like to know where the pressure was at during the different comparisons.
Compared to a firearm...."Yes" with an airgun, you are only dealing with lead deposits. With a firearm, you have exploded gun powder residue. A firearm should be cleaned after every use. A pellet gun barrel should be cleaned every 200-300 rounds.😉👍🏻
Looked like you had a blast doing that comparison! Can the AEA handle heavier projectiles? I know some of the bigger rifles (like the AF Texan) get near .44 Mag levels of energy launching heavier bullets.
Hi Steven, Yes..we were trying to find something close to our .45 auto rounds. AEA has a huge variety of Big Bore rifles. Did you catch the review on the Zeus? That was a fun time. Have a great weekend 😉👍🏻
As long as they don’t do any full auto. I think there’s nothing good that can come from a full auto air rifle. It’s only a matter of time before someone does something stupid with a full auto air rifle and they put more regulations and/or categorize PCP air rifles as a firearm which comes with a tax in some way shape or form. These now have the same FPE as a real firearm and are just as dangerous. But I love the innovation and the fact you can use air to push lead that’s as powerful as a standard military/police sidearm. I mean I’ve seen videos of people shooting the 22 and 25 caliber FX air rifles and there’s no recoil and the suppressor makes it quieter than Hollywood “silencer’s”?! I’ll stick with my break barrels until they come out with a better HPA refill system that isn’t like using a two stroke engine. Love the innovation and this channel. I bought a grub screw from him that made my Gamo Mach 1 Fusion trigger so much better. I love how he always does the Chrono and gives a real world condition FPS and FPE and knocks back a few targets
The 2A applies to all "ARMs" not just firearms. As your video demonstrates, many airguns are very credible arms. There are already a number of localities that regulate and in some cases outright ban airguns. The same legal tests that SCOTUS developed in the Heller and Bruen cases are equally applicable to airguns. However. That does not mean that it will not be necessary to wage the same legal fight to maintain your Constitutional rights as is currently being waged regarding firearms. Like it or not freedom and liberty are not free. Generally, the public's perception of airguns is that of Ralphie and his Red Rider bb gun.
Love this video! I really enjoy seeing the new powerful air guns going up against firearms! Especially living in the communist state of Illinois, where they consider airguns over .177 cal, and over 700fps a firearm! Thanks again!
Just to be clear... when you make any form of a weapon illegal/difficult to obtain/etc..you drive the price up / less law abiding people will own them and you create a black market that is fed by straw purchases and residential burglary among many other ways to obtain arms and many other unwanted effects...the bad guys will always have guns.. know why? laws are for law abiding people..laws don't apply to people who you are trying to target because they don't care about laws...
Thanks very much for doing this review. As you know, my favorite sidearm is a 1911. I recently watched this video, and was contemplating buying the HP max. However, I hadn't seen it over the chrono etc. Now that I've seen this review, I'm impressed and I'm going to buy one. The .72 is on my wish list too lol. My gun collecting, prolly has something major to do with my not buying a new truck in years. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MHS8F_Ar12A.html
