Anyone knows how many shots a compact (short) LP10 cylinder can give?

full size 120
short 100

those are official numbers

I tested my LP10 on several occassion sand found I got 180 on the long cylinder and about 120 with the short. I am sure that the manual mentioned the same figures.

there's just NO way you'll get 180 shots, even with light pellets which you should never use in a pcp for the sake of accuracy and with velocity turned down. After a 100 something shots the point of impact will start dropping lower

Steyr has one of the smallest cylinders of all air guns, it's physically impossible to get the 180.

Page 30 of the owners manual.....they were being conservative as I achieved 180 shots to the bottom of the green.
Do you own an LP10 ?

As per Steyrs own page:

Shot capacity of the various air pistols
Open or Close


Model Shot capacity

LP 10 120
LP 2 120
LP 2 Compact 100
LP 50 120

Page 43 of the LP10 manual.

Here is the owners manual in case anyone wishes to see what a steyr publish regarding their own products

Anyone else contributing opinions should provide a link to their source.

Thanks Silvershooter. It makes no sense to publish one figure in the owners manual and another online unless the website figures have been published conservatively for reasons unknown to us.

As I said earlier, on several occasions I clamped my LP10 to a bench and fired 180 shots without any POI change. I stopped where the green zone meets the yellow. The pistol was chronographed at 530 ft/sec.

I am sure other owners have run similar tests and would be curious to hear their findings.

I did a test on my LP50 and I got 115 - 120 shots per fill - right in line with Steyr Sports web page :-)

I have no chronograph

I owned LP10E Compact 5 years.

About 100 shots per fill at 155m/s.
Arrow between green and yellow after 80 shots :-/

@Edit
I also tried my short cylinders with factory new LP10E - the same result. Also - valve etc. on my old pistol were OK.
