I'm not familiar with the digital version. Do they require batteries? If so, are they "normal" button cells of some flavor?

The last thing I need is another Morini product that requires weird batteries...

Morini cylinders

A nice feature about these new cylinders is that they also tells you how many shots you have left.

Wonder how the tank knows the setting of the V0. I'll bet they calculate it at 145 m/sec, and everybody else has a problem...

Well, they could measure how much air the pistol takes for each shot. I don't know if they do this, but they could ...

Wouldn't that need the gauge to have a shot sensor built into it. I suppose that's possible, but I bet it hasn't ;-)

Just as a FYI, the new cylinder is slightly heavier than the old manometer version. Not sure if the men will notice, but for me, I can definitely notice the weight difference on a Morini short. The shot counter is only an estimate. Mine still showed 10 shots left when the cocking lever locked. The new one does seem to get more shots than the old ones.

They have a shot sensor. Every time the pistol takes new air, a shot has been fired. :-)

I assume they are stamped with a 10 year lifetime? I seem to recall that the earlier Morini cylinders were good for 20, but I'm not sure that is allowed under the new rules.

The LCD display automatically self destructs after 10 years.

Does it give a count down to the doom's day or does it just goes bang?

Interesting. They have a calibration process so the shot count will take into account the gas usage for the pellets being shot & velocity setting of the pistol.

They also note that the units aren't interchangeable, which suggests the pressure sensor calibration is stored in the readout assembly. That could make it difficult to repair/replace one if it ever dies.

If they'd just leave that date off it would solve a bunch of annoying problems. I don't think anyone makes them put it on but their lawyers.
