AirForce Texan Carbon Fiber Bottles with Huge Power! Over 700 Foot-Pounds of Energy! 

All the texans are compatible? Do u sell te carbon fiber tank separately?

Can you also replace the Regular valve with TX2 valve?

What brand slug did you load into the airgun during the intro skit?

Is there a larger volume tank?

Larger tank available?

My favorite movie

?

Yes, we would recommend upgrading to the new TX2 valve and carbon fiber bottle. You will get about 100fpe more, which translates to a much flatter shot trajectory.

Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Frank Roberts I bought a Texan he first week it came out an I’ve shot tons of 500 gr spitzers

We probably won't have them for sale, but we will be giving them out at different competitions and shows.

Airgun Depot , KOOL

We need to take it out and do some groups at longer range. Right now we have sent it to Rick at Shooter1721 so follow him on Facebook and RU-vid to see what he does with it!

Unfortunately, you need the length to get that power.

They do it's the 30cal check it out those are bad ass I own all of the guns

Carbine

Yea, Airgun depot sells it on their site. www.airgundepot.com/airforce-carbon-fiber-spare-tank-spin-loc-457-caliber.html

Thanks!

No, it's a rebated boattail so it just looked like it was backwards.

Travis P Thank You. By the way...Nice Video Friends!!! 👍😁

A lot....these guns are really affected by cold temps. We have run into it even hunting in the winter here in Texas. One of the best solutions we have found is wrapping the tank with Dura-Tech vet bandage and putting hand warmers in the wrap.

@@AirForceAirguns1wow

Turn down the air pressure a bit. I found 3400 PSI for 350s and 3300-3350 for 290s, but those are estimates as your gauges will be different than mine.

@@UpNorthAirGunner So, can you turn down the power to 3400 for the 350's on the gun, or are you just filling the tank to 3400?

@@timtullio1210 Just filling to 3400. On my other Texan with the 4500 PSI kit and heavy hammer spring I found that 3300-3400 was the sweet spot for tight groups on the 290s and 350s anyway.

All spare tanks come with the TX2 valve already installed, whether it be an Aluminium tank for Carbon Fiber, so all you would need it to get the spare tank of your choice and you are good to go.

No, we haven't figured bc on them yet, so no idea.

Airgun Depot Do you think enough for a coyote kill.?

JG & Airguns yeah I bet

@@jgairguns4332It ices Coyotes out to 200 250 yds all day long without any problem .. it would even take them out at 300yds as long as you were dialed in with psi in the tank vs grain weight vs holdover. 200 yards is pretty effortless though. Rough trajectory with 350grain and a full tank. Dialed in zero at 60 yds. 100yds 1/2 inch 150yds 4 inch 200yds 16 inch 250yds 28 inch 300yds 40 inch Pretty flat out to 125yds After that the drop is pretty significant and fades out pretty steep. Lighter rounds hold a much flatter trajectory though by far, A 180 grain will only drop about a foot at 300yds. 350grain is a lot of bullet and requires some serious holdover out over 200. lol

My texan cf shoots the nick nielson 348 knurled at 880 fps which is like 598ft lbs and at 300 yards in cold temps its still hitting with like 458 ft lbs still moving like 750 fps at 300 yards so alot.of power that slug has a g1 bc of .250

yeah the triggers deff leave something to be desired when you are used to match grade triggers. I will say this after some trigger time on them you will get used to that spongy feeling. I wish they would give us a trigger that is like my RAW HM1000X LRT .25 and .30 but thats wishful thinking. I dont ever expect a match grade 2 stage trigger from them so I really would be happy if they would just give us a creep/roll free 2lb single stage trigger, Im very used to match grade single stage triggers because I shoot a lot of ERL powder burners (its where we came from pushing the limits of extremely long range shots) if they would charge a 100 more and give us a match grade single stage trigger (IMHO this type of gun I would prefer a single stage trigger over a 2 stage trigger) that is adjustable from about 12 ounces to 2lbs we would benefit greatly from that when reaching out to the limits of what this gun can do. I just dont see them investing in designing a trigger group that is match quality and able to be produced in a cost efficient and timely way. its cheap and easy to build a trigger group that has some roll/slop in it but when tolerances become tight enough that there is near zero slop things start to cost a lot more to produce as does the machines to make the parts. I would have no problem with a fair increase in price based on just the trigger but I dont think most would be ok with that price increase and thats exactly why we will always have a trigger that works and is usable from airforce but NOT one that adds to the performance of the gun. if enough demand was around Im sure some machinist could build us match grade single or 2 stage trigger groups for the Airforce guns fairly easily if the demand was there. I would pay a machinist 200 to 250USD for a drop in parts match grade trigger group and be happy as a lark.

Yes its really loud I compare to the 30 06

Thats why I got the cfss.

Not all airgunners are as educated as you. They know a lighter slug is better, but they are sell a product. Many guys will buy it just for the 740ft lbs.

So Charles there is one thing you are leaving out and that is the comparative analysis of where the Texan and big bore airguns as a whole have come from. This same line of airguns just a few years ago was slinging 350 grain slugs at 800 FPS! But now it can sling a 523 grain slug at that same velocity! That is quite impressive in my book. So apples to apples we are now getting the same trajectory characteristics from a 520 grain slug today as we were getting from a 350 grain slug just a few years ago in the AirForce Texan. So it isn't as bad as you think as far as high arcing rainbow shots. I just like laser flat when hunting. My rule of thumb is to select a slug that will have a flat enough trajectory to the deer to stay in that 8 inch kills zone the entire distance to the deer and for me that is within 100 yards. The 290s and 350s fit that criteria for me - but the funny thing is those 520 grainers aren't that far off that self imposed criteria and here is why.... The ballistic coefficient for that 520 grain slug has got to be one the best I have ever shot from an airgun because the sectional density is mind blowing! Here is a similar slug and the BC is .38!!!!!!!!! Read that again - I said .38!!!!! Here is a similar slug: noebulletmolds.com/NV/images/N.O.E._Bullet_Moulds_459-500-RN_GC_CB6_Sketch.Jpg For reference a pellet that we consider to have REALLY high BC characteristics would be .038! That is an entire decimal place to the left! So why does that matter? Physics my friend! That slug going 800 FPS is only dropping around 8 inches at 100 yards due to the high BC of .38-ish. That is crazy good BC! This is why when you look into the Black Powder Long Range shooting - or Black Powder Cartridge Rifle BPRC, these 500-550 grain slugs are exactly the hunk of lead they are shooting with for competition and at relatively slow velocities for powder burners. Why? High BC is king at long range. I agree that FPE is kind of a poor metric for the airgun industry to use, but for whatever reason FPS and FPE are those marketing numbers that get thrown around. It makes me laugh when is see break barrels advertise 1200 FPS!!!! Yes most people just getting into this don't understand that number is basically meaningless because it is being shot with a projectile so small and light that it might have hit that number on top of a mountain using some crazy lightweight Chinese-ium alloy pellet, but the second they drop a real lead pellet into that same gun they get 800 FPS. So that is why this 700+ FPE matters (and I have gotten it to hit 770 FPE)... We are running these tests with what basically is the equivalent to Black Powder long range slugs of choice. That is just NUTS and not a parlor trick my friend! Thanks for watching!

What Chris I have to admit you certainly make a good argument for using the heavier slugs and you make it impossible to argue with your logic, but I would like to shoot some of those slugs at a hundred yards and prove it to myself. I wouldn't hesitate to admit that I am wrong about what I said it's just that it's awful hard to believe that monster 520 grain slug only drops 8 inches at a hundred yards ! Being a powerhead I just wish there were any possible way for me to justify owning an Airforce Texan CF so I could test this myself.

I guess something else that's always bothered me is the fact that these air rifle manufacturers started what I call an arms race years ago constantly trying to one-up each other touting exaggerated velocities using lightweight aluminum pellets for god sakes they won't hit the side of a barn in the same place twice. The only real exceptions I found that rule being the honest claims by FX airguns, and Hatsan whose air guns performance always exceeded the stated performance which was always a nice surprise you get a gun that had more power then the specs said it would have. Unfortunately I agree with you that brain fractures have to have some sort of yardstick to measure themselves against each other and velocity and FPE seem to be the only two yardsticks available for the task
