Air rifles! I just bought another yesterday.

[StageLeft]

My brother and I bought my other brother a co2 pistol a couple years back and we all just bought another crossman co2 rifle yesterday. Its pretty good... .177 and about 500 fps. What we really wabnt though is a .22 cal 600+ like they have on the crossman sight (must be co2 powered obviously). Does anybody know how much these things cost or where easiest to buy one?

BTW the reason we didn't get a real gun, and won't, is because its not so easy in Canada

<< its not so easy in Canada >>

You poor soul.

hey, try looking at beaman or some sort of high powerd, spring operated pellet gun, they are a blast, and ALOT better quality then the crossman.

Follow some of these links.

500fps! What type of videocard is that?!?!?

Air rifles! I just saw a show about it yesterday.....


.... about how dangerous they are, how many people have been shoot and died because of it, how they mesured the speed of a police pistol compared to a airrifle and the rifle was faster.

Hehe, trust me when I say that the only way to get killed with one of these ones is a direct shot in the eye which manages to get into your skull Dunno about the more powerful ones though...

I have an old Benjamin .177 (bb and pellet).
I had to buy 50 washers just to replace the two in the chamber cyl.

I still love it. I use to hunt with it. Made many squirrel and blackbird gumbo's from hunting with it. (Only Cajuns at heart can appreciate this).

Holy mother of hell. THere is an airgun out there on one of the sites that uses .45 cal rounds and fires them at 750 fps. That would do more damage than a real-life .22 round

Do you need a license ?

Wouldnt say that, few of the people there had got shoot in the skull from some distance, it went right through and into their brain.

Well it depends on the gun, the one I have will not even break a beer bottle...its an 8 grab weight going at no more than about 500 fps...that .45 cal at 750 would do a mean job though!

In my area the only restriction is that it has to be outside of city limits...

Weihrauch and Anschutz, among others, make fine quality target air rifles. A google search will find plenty of vendors. These are not feeble little BB guns. Treat them exactly as you would a firearm.

When I said ours wouldn't break a beer bottle I lied. I just tried it with some high velocity pellets (basically plastic wrapped steel bbs) and these are quite nice!

wouldn't a bit of fragging be better for you??

Do you guys know any places or online stores in the states that sell realair soft guns, not them pos daisys? Like the ones that use red or green gas.?
