Umarex Big Blast Target Inflator Reviews

These are great. Our neighborhood is in competition to create the loudest noise. This does it. Very loud. But we are in a very rural area. Our caps don't leak. Using a .22 pellet gun.

Nothing

The only problem I see is that this product will tempt you to make unreasonable purchases of bottles. Or cause you to dig through the neighbors' trash to find some.

Nothing

Make a cap that does not leak.

All caps that came in the package leak and do not hold pressure. A waste of money

These are great! They make nice reactive targets, but keep in mind that bottles inflated at 75+ PSI are easily louder than a powder shotgun. As result of a visit by the friendly police department, I now inflate them to just 50 PSI so I don't become a target of nuisance calls by the Karens of the neighborhood.

DO NOT shoot inflated soda bottles with BB guns nor should you use any CO2 pellet guns, because they will bounce right back at you. I have high-power PCP guns, but the first thing I used to shoot inflated bottles with was my "Steel Storm" BB guns and it sent a spay of BBs right back at me. The PCP rifles demolish the bottles as expected. Inflating bottles to the recommended 80 PSI will cause nice friendly police officers to magically appear. ;) (they just asked me to tone it down so I don't irritate the local Karen)

great idea

5 of them would not hold air. it would slowly leak out at 35 psi of more...will not work on drinking water bottles.(the ones you buy that wrinkle when squished)

great idea but I will not waist my money on these.as the sealing part should be upgraded.

Haven't tried them yet

Definitely a blast. The report generated by a 2-liter bottle is about like a firecracker or a .22 short. Was pleased to discover that they really ARE re-usable; all of mine still seem to be functioning normally after several months.

While I am in no way advocating that users disregard instructions, I'll just say that when I first set my automotive tire compressor to 80 pounds, the bottles did almost nothing when hit. Barely a hiss. But when I bumped it to 84 pounds, I got the satisfying, bottle-busting-boom that I was hoping for. (Might just be an inaccurate gauge on my compressor...)

One of the best bang for your buck products I have ever purchased in my life .Loads of fun just make sure you screw the caps on tight and lube up the inflation needle. 80 -90 psi makes a extremely loud noise most fun ive had from a .05 cent bottle !!!

Not a thing you get more than your moneys worth from this product !!!

Make sure ether you shoot these way out in the middle of nowhere or tell your neibours your using them !!!

Excellent idea. Nice way to recycle used soda bottles.

Make FPS requirements more visible on packaging and in description.

Won't work with lower velocity projectiles. Dangerous, even. Requires 700+ FPS, otherwise projectile will ricochet and possibly cause injury.

Big bang for the buck

The price is completely reasonable for what you're paying for. Ive had only one successful BOOM, a few literal bottle rocket experiences lol and a couple hissers out of 5 attempts, from the same bottle cap. Unfortunately I destroyed the first cap trying to remove it from the 5th attempted bottle with my vice, that sucker was really on there, to be fair I was a bit reckless in doing so. Believe me theyre definitely reusable. All of the fails were simply my fault I did not fill the bottle completely up to the 100 psi maximum fill. My compressors gauges are really not reliable so I remove the needle and I squeeze the bottle ever so gently to see if the bottle is reaching maximum fill. So today I just might count the time and keep record of it, until I get a successful fill time. It might take a few bottles to get the perfect time count, but its better to be safe than sorry. If anyone else is having this problem DO NOT purposefully detonat the bottle while filling thats just asking for it

NOTHING!!! The price is more than fair for what youre getting.... although a max pressure indicator on the cap would be nice. Then they could definitely bump the price up a few bucks per cap. Id def pay knowing that every time Id get a detonation, ABSOLUTELY!!! Lol instead of having to drink bottle after bottle after bottle just to see a hisser. Hahahaha I bet if anyone is even reading this they know what Im talking about.

WARNING!!!! DO NOT SQUEEZE OR TOUCH BOTTLE WHILE FILLING!!! That net bag is to make sure the pieces dont hit you if theres a predetenation!!! Squeezing the bottle while filling is totally disregarding that safety feature!!!! HAVE FUN BE SAFE MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL SAFETY RULES AND NOT JUST WITH THESE BOTTLE CAPS BUT WITH YOUR AIR GUN(s). IF THESE SIMPLE RULES ARE FOLLOWED WE CAN ALL HAVE FUN!!! DONT RUIN IT FOR OTHERS

Pumped 2-liter and 16-20oz pop bottles up to 100psi with a bicycle pump with a dial-gauge that goes up to 160psi. They definitely are not Backyard-friendly as my brother was 1/4 mile up the lake away from me when I shot a 2-liter filled to 100psi and he said it sounded like a Centerfire Hunting Rifle going off. 20oz bottles aren't near as loud but are still fun. A word of caution - if you watch carefully in the testing video I linked to below, you can see very small pieces of plastic bits/shrapnel being forcefully shot about by the bottles exploding. Gloves, Eye, and Hearing protection should be used when filling/handling filled bottles and any bystanders in the immediate area should at least be wearing eye protection and foam earplugs. I also would suggest only using bottles that are in excellent condition - nothing that has been crushed or distorted in any way to avoid possible weak spots in the plastic. These are not Toys so younguns should be allowed to fill/handle them under Adult Supervision or only if they can be trusted to always follow safety procedures! This video has some good info and shows how powerful the blasts can be - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDTvjJZlnR8

great fun easy to use, going to order more

needs to work easier on small water bottles

BIG blast when shot/hit with pellet. Exceeded my expectations the first time I used them. This is my third narrative on this product. I really like them. Woodys World CEO.

Nothing, they work as advertised if used according the instructions.

I have blasted about 20 plastic soda bottles. The instructions say inflate to 80 lbs of air pressure. On three occasions I inflated a 1 liter and a 2 liter bottle to 90 lbs of air pressure. The resulting blast was louder/bigger/more violent that the blast damaged the caps into pieces. That happened two out of three times. I now have eight. Is it worth it, yes. I will stick to 80 lbs. I am not sure metal caps would seal to the plastic bottles as plastic does. I have had pieces of the bottle fly back 60 feet towards me, 75 feet away. A metal cap will not shatter like the plastic did, it may fly at high velocity, it could injure. My wife said it sounded like a bomb. To her they all sounded like a bomb. You must hit the bottle dead-on, so be accurate with your shots. On two other occasions I did not hit the bottle dead on. Although the pellet went through the bottle, it did not make the big blast noise. Dead on hits have resulted in Big blasts. I am having fun and will buy again.

Great device when they work.

Make them more reliable.

They work with some bottles but it's variable even when I use them on the same size and brand of bottle. I followed the trouble shooting guide but some still don't work. I made some using tubeless tire valve stems and they work using different caps on different bottle brands 100% of the time.

These things are awesome and very loud in a 2 liter soda bottle. 148 decibels on sound meter. Have used them about 20 times without failure. No leakage at all.

Make larger size caps as we'll so we can use larger bottles like the big Water Bottles in offices. These caps only work on Soda cap size bottles and nothing else.

You have to make sure you fill to 80 lbs on 2 liter bottles or the explosion doesn't work. Small soda bottles aren't worth the bang.

Nothing

Made out of metal

I do not recommend buying this . It will not hold air .

I ordered and received this product from PyramydAir about three weeks ago. I inflated a 16 ounce and a 2 liter plastic soda bottles. I first tried it on a 16 ounce soda bottle. Inflated it, according to instructions, to 80 lbs of pressure. I had tied a line to the inflator top prior to inflation. Standing 80 feet away, I loaded my .22 cal. Umarex Octane with a 14.3 cal Crosman Premier Dome, took aim, and pulled the trigger. BANG, it exploded very loudly, putting a wide grin on my face. It was louder than I thought it would be. My wife objects because of the noise level. Today I inflated the 2 liter soda bottle to 85 lbs, repeated the shooting process. Again, a very loud BANG. The neighbors WILL hear it. They probably thought it was a large firecracker or M-80. This purchase will have you collecting your soda bottles and inflating and shooting after drinking.or whatever. The inflator caps are reusable, so the 10 pack should last awhile. I recommend. John, CEO of Woody,s World

Nothing.

Any standard air rifle with a velocity of 600 fps should work, maybe even multi pumps. Have a blast.
