Yeah, I was thinking air as well.
Yeah I’ll just spray someone down with airsoft pellets from an expensive airsoft gun
Costs about as much as a hi point pistol
pressurrized air can be fairly deathly problem is getting alot of shots downrange and still maintaining power
the Girandoni air rifle had enough air for 20-30 shots with acceptable power, and that's a late 1700's design, doing significantly better today can't be hard
I'm finding air gun muzzle velocities top out at about 1500 ft/s, which is...servicable.
If you apply that to a .58 caliber 500 gr Minnie round then you have an air powered 1861 Springfield Rifle which is extremely deadly
"350 grain"
There is not a single grain involved here.
Pressurized air doesn't give us enough performance density
because you're dealing with a pressure differential
nah, pressurized air rifles have been used for warfare since the late 1700's
I know they've been used; they just aren't comparable to magazine fed nitrocellulose powered projectiles
coilguns are too shit tier, railguns need too much power
although I expect at some point we'll have good enough high current tech to make electrically propelled projectiles down the road
well yeah, obviously if they were *as good* as traditional powder we'd still see them in active service today, the question is what's the *next best thing* if you can't have powder
just make black powder
but if all of the oxidizing agents went away
still powder
yeah, air.
We have Nutrias in our neighborhood. They're cute as long as they keep their mouths closed.
There are some in the parks in town too. They'll come up along with the ducks to ask for bread.
are high point pistols, memes?
They're cheap and ugly but they shoot bullets
hi points are pistols
They will shoot bullets, and probably do so in the most cost effective manner possible.
Don't ask for much else.
I have seen one work after it got shot in the slide though. That was impressive.
hi points are pretty sturdy
disassembly sucks
I would have more recommendations for 2.5x the cost that are probably better on a shitload of levels
