The maximum fill pressure is 3,000 pounds per square inch (psi), which is 206 bar. A pressure relief device has been installed in the air tank and can rupture if the internal pressure exceeds 3,000 psi/206 bar. All AirForce airguns have precision rifled barrels. They will shoot accurately only with good quality lead pellets of the appropriate caliber.

Power does not adjust evenly as the numbers increase and decrease. Rather, there are zones at which the power settles into a velocity range. For the most precise settings, use a chronograph when adjusting power and note what setting gives what velocity with a particular pellet.
alWays keep the muzzle mWarning: pointed in a safe direction Operational Tips Power adjustments The rifle needs one shot to settle down following a power adjustment. After that, it should give shots at a consistent velocity. Removing or disabling the safety mechanism Disabling or removing any of the safety parts can disable the rifle and will void the warranty and will create a hazardous condition. modifications to the valve The valve in the AirForce rifle is not a user-maintainable item.
NOTICE: REad ThIs maNual ENTIREly bEfORE ChaRgINg OR usINg yOuR aIRguN Maintenance of the Air Tank and Care During Shipping AirForce airguns have an air tank pressurized to 3,000 psi when full. This tank is designed to be filled at all times. you can leave it pressurized to 3,000 psi indefinitely, or you can keep a lower “caretaker” charge of around 2,000 psi in the tank; if you desire. The air tank is equipped with a safety burst disk that will rupture if the internal pressure gets too high.
alWays keep the muzzle mWarning: pointed in a safe direction Troubleshooting Gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled Is the gun cocked? Has the safety been taken off? Is the removable air tank installed? Is the tank filled with air? Is anything blocking the valve or the bolt? Was the bolt closed and rotated to one side before firing? Is the air tank overfilled, causing valve lock? Air is leaking from the tank Install the air tank on the rifle and fire several times without a pellet.
NOTICE: REad ThIs maNual ENTIREly bEfORE ChaRgINg OR usINg yOuR aIRguN Troubleshooting When the gun fires, all the air exhausts from the tank The cause for this is almost always a pellet that was not seated properly into the breech. The skirt is blown against the breech face when high pressure air first hits it and it creates a high pressure air seal that forces the valve to remain open.
