There's hardly anything that can't happen.

And that's precisely why we're here for our customers.
We've always strived to manufacture spare parts for our clients that are either unavailable or extremely difficult to find on the market.
Some parts aren't even offered by manufacturers – that's where we come in: We produce almost every part on high-precision machines, exactly matching the original part, and often even surpassing it in durability and stability. Here's just a small example of the wide range of our capabilities.

With best regards, your “Black-Powder” Team

Hello P*P community, I'm often asked which air rifle is very powerful.
Here I present to you an air rifle from AEA Airguns, a relatively new player specializing in international distribution, although manufacturing takes place exclusively in China.
I've had contact with this brand several times in my workshop. Anyway…
Okay, here it is, the most powerful P*P rifle in the world:
AEA Zeus,
Cal. .72 (caliber .72 corresponds to a diameter of approximately 18.3 mm)
System: Single Shot
Velocity: 870 FPS (933 km/h)
Bullet weight: 850 grains (approx. 55 grams)
Energy: 2000 Joules. So, those are the performance specifications of the AEA rifle, model ZEUS, and I believe you could easily take down a fully grown bull with it!

Best regards from us in La Calera

Thoughts on New Year's Eve 2026

I would like to quote the German physicist and master of the aphorism, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg:

"I cannot say whether things will get better if they change, but I can say this much: they must change if they are to get better."

I wish you all a happy new year!

Common to all these bullets is the deformation and even fragmentation of the bullet body. This resulted in very serious injuries. Furthermore, the numerous splinters in the lead core made effective wound care very difficult, and for this reason, these bullets were outlawed in 1899 under Article 23 of the Hague Conventions on Land Warfare. They fall under the prohibition of "weapons, projectiles, or substances capable of causing unnecessary suffering."

However, the situation is different in hunting practice. Even today, partial fragmentation and deformation bullets are still used in hunting.
Partial fragmentation bullets are designed to fragment in a controlled manner, leaving a defined residual body. For example, a double-core bullet: This partial fragmentation bullet always retains a residual mass of 60%. A partially jacketed bullet, such as the Kegelspitz bullet or the TM bullet from the ammunition manufacturer RWS, also falls under the category of partial fragmentation, although the residual body varies slightly depending on target resistance and bullet velocity. The principle of this type of bullet is based on the massive organic destruction caused by the controlled release of bullet fragments and the defined residual body. The suction effect of the residual body ensures that most of the fragments of the front core leave the game animal.
The deformation bullet mushrooms with the Upon impact with the game animal, it remains mass-stable.

It is designed to lose hardly any weight in the game animal. The effect is primarily achieved through the cross-sectional increase of the evenly expanding bullet and its consistent weight.

This photo only shows deformation bullets, which are fired exclusively from handguns to achieve the greatest possible stopping power.
*Stopping power: This term describes the ability of a bullet to incapacitate an attacker as quickly as possible by releasing kinetic energy. The goal is to stop the attacker so quickly through shock or injury that they cannot take any further action.

There are often ethical and practical considerations when using weapons and ammunition, especially in law enforcement.
While a high stopping power may be desirable to stop an attacker quickly and prevent harm to bystanders,
For this reason, ammunition types with a high stopping power are also outlawed in certain situations or are only used under specific circumstances used…

Hola, amigos aficionados a la P*P, hoy les presento un pequeño truco.
Por desgracia, es más frecuente de lo que creen que necesiten algo, pero la única pieza que tienen tiene la rosca incorrecta.
Aquí les explicaré cómo pueden ayudarse (*difícil de implementar sin las herramientas adecuadas, a menos que conozcan a un buen tornero o sean manitas).
En una ocasión, necesitaba un manómetro con rosca NPT de 1/8", y solo tenía uno con rosca métrica M8x1.0. Como los manómetros con rosca NPT de 1/8 son más raros y mucho más caros, pensé: ¿y si hago un adaptador?
Así que cogí una boquilla doble súper barata con rosca NPT de 1/8 que tenía guardada y la modifiqué en el torno. Luego, corté una rosca interna M8x1.0 (usé una herramienta de Titex, HSS Titex Plus). Finalmente, pegué el adaptador con Loctite 263 y listo.
Una vez curado el fijador de roscas, la conexión sella perfectamente y soporta una presión de más de 5000 psi.
Espero que esta publicación le sea útil a alguien en una situación similar…

Last Friday, I had an appointment with a customer who lives near La Serena and had a problem with his Ta**us .38 Special Revolver.
The customer had sent me a video in advance and asked if I would be able to complete the repair that day.
Normally, I can't make such promises, but due to the distance of almost 400 kilometers, I agreed.
The customer arrived at my workshop with his wife on Friday morning, promptly at 8:00 a.m. after a more than five-hour bus ride.
He reported that they had already left for the trip in the middle of the night.
After scheduling a pickup appointment, I got to work. After disassembling the weapon, I immediately noticed that a compression spring was missing from the ejector spindle.
This small, inconspicuous spring pushes the spindle forward, securing the cylinder in the revolver frame and simultaneously releasing the safety.
I then fabricated a new spring, and the revolver worked perfectly again.
Small cause, big effect.
Regardless,
the customer later told me that a friend had previously disassembled the gun for cleaning, and afterward, it no longer functioned properly.
This is further proof that it's always better to consult an authorized and experienced gunsmith and never attempt to repair or even disassemble a firearm yourself.
Conclusion:
Drave 800 kilometers in one day to replace a missing spring for a few cents!

For anyone who frequently needs to disassemble a UMAREX HDR 50, I have a little tip.
The screws on the plastic casing have different dimensions, meaning they are different lengths.
I made a cardboard template to more easily determine the screw positions and reinstall them in the correct place later. This is especially helpful if you don't do this job very often.
Of course, you can also use this for other jobs that involve many different screws.
Quick and easy…
