Air gun corner
My new toy just arrived. A present from a friend who know I love air guns, but this I had no idea how fun it can be as well if used in close quarters a most effective city gun.
Judge for your selves and think garden fun. |

Can this kill someone? It appears to be lethal, taking into consideration the damage...

In the process now to fit the gun with a cylinder with compressed air in it rather than CO2. Very much the same system as the PCP air rifles are using.
I ordered another one so we can play and modify it with out worry screwing it up and lose the fun of a fully operational garden fun toy. You can get 900 fps only if you use the modified version. Not with CO2. Last edited by HardHawk; August 26th, 2013 at 09:36 AM. |

My most favored air guns for training and survival trips.
Always when considering an air gun remember the best caliber is .20 for all around use. You get the velocities and range of a .177 as well almost the bunch of a .22.
The way air guns evolved can easily compete with a .22 rimfire. Their difference to my opinion for fire arms is the limitation they have to bring big game down and also making kills beyond the 100 m. range. But for small game I have yet to use a fire arm on ducks - goose - rabbits and basically all kind of bird hunting always have done with one of my air guns. I have two EVANIX the giant and the MAX Bullpup. This air rifles if you know how to modify them you get 1400-1600 fps on home made teflon coded pellets 25 grains. Then is the gas ram powered air rifles we use for training as snipers. Getting into an age most of us we dont physically train any more our bodies to be in shape and maintain that rock solid hold off hand of a rifle. BUT WE DO LOVE GUNS. So. get an air rifle like for example what I use HW90 gas ram, or an HW 98 spring powered, ( this one to bring all out what it can give meed to be fine tuned), and you can shoot 300-500 pellets in one afternoon. If you want to be able lift your arms the day after, start with 100 pellets a days for a week, then move to more shooting. Both of this guns require an effort to load them HW90 requires 46-50 lbs cocking effort. every time you load change hands, one left one right. In effect shooting 100 pellets build your upper body while having fun like you press bench 250 lbs on each arm and all the muscles from stomach to upper body. And a 500 pellet tin is like $10. Another part it does you good if you train to be a sniper is that every 10 yards of air gun range equals x10 on a firearm. Meaning if you have a gun that is able of one inch group of 5 at 50 meters is like shooting or training to shoot with a fire arm at 500 meters. It used to be that powerful air guns was always european made that cost usually an arm and a leg to buy. But some very good air rifles now are made in USA as well. For example. http://www.pyramydair.com/a/Air_guns..._1300_0T1650_0 at very affordable prices. Just remember like all guns and especially for air rifles your rifle is as good as the scope you put on it. The best scopes for air guns unless PCP it is heavy recoil scopes. http://www.straightshooters.com/heav...il-scopes.html Funny part most of the air guns I use cost less than the scope on them. |

there you have the range as well the accuracy big bore air guns unless custom made will never reach. But what this guns can actualy be perfect for is to modify it, to use case less, self propellant ammo. |

Is there any permit or license that you need to have to possess these Air Guns in Greece?

They have some laws against using a silencer on guns and things like that but since we build our own who are much better than factory there is not a problem there. In Cyprus where most of my collection of air guns is, to won them you need to have an FAC (fire arms certificate). And you not allowed to have any cal beside 4.5 (.177). |
