Pigmee carbon fiber tank - a great way to carry air!

by Harley Ayre

You got into precharged pneumatics for the accuracy and convenience. Lots of shots before you have to refill. AH! But WHEN you refill, what does it take? A support structure the size of an army? Not anymore!


Airhog's new Pigmee carbon fiber tank is the best way to carry air to the field.

Enter the Pigmee
The Pigmee is a miniature carbon fiber air tank available only from Airhog. The configuration was designed by an airgunner, so there's no extra equipment or wasted weight. It carries 1.1 liters - about 9+ cubic feet. What can you do with 9 cubic feet?

When the Pigmee is filled to its rated 4,500 psi, you can completely fill a standard PCP rifle MANY TIMES. If you own a big bore from Barnes or Quackenbush, the Pigmee is the perfect field companion.

Priced right, too!
Carbon fiber tanks are not cheap, but the Pigmee is affordable. At $275, plus shipping, for the tank with special Airhog valve, it's right on the money. There are other lower-priced CF tanks, but when you add the necessary connections they don't come with, they aren't the bargains they appear to be.


Carry your air on your hip!

Leave your hand pump at home when you go hunting, because traipsing around in the bush is hard enough. Stick a Pigmee (or two) in Airhog's convenient holster, and you're set for a full day's hunt. Big bores give two to four crushing shots per fill, and the Pigmee fills them several times. If their max is less than 3,000 psi, you'll get even more fills!


All Airhog carbon fiber tanks have the same valve/yoke fitting. There is nothing extra to take off and lose, plus this fitting is half the bulk of a separate yoke. And, the built-in gauge tells the pressure of YOUR GUN!

Pigmee comes standard with Airhog's integral yoke/valve
The Airhog valve is its own built-in yoke. Nothing more is needed! Even the pressure gauge is built-in, and it reads the pressure of your gun - not the tank! Finally, someone listened to what airgunners REALLY want!

The tank shown above has an optional microbore hose with a custom fitting on the end, but Airhog can set up a Pigmee any way you like to fit a gun or set of guns you have. This tank is just 13" long with the valve attached, a scant 4" in diameter and weighs just 4 lbs. when full. Yet, it holds as much air as a metal tank weighing many times as much!

With the holidays coming, you NEED this!
Now, here is the absolute beauty of the Pigmee. It fills car tires, too! Yep, it will fill a car tire when a quick-disconnect is attached at the end. Just hold the QD against the tire valve to seal it, and let your Pigmee do the work. Best of all, it doesn't lose pressure when the temperature drops and those CO2 tire fillers are useless! This isn't just for airguns - it's also a valuable piece of roadside emergency equipment, so you'll need one for your wife's car, too!

You're welcome!
