@Aperfectghost
You are quite welcome. Several years ago as the early PCP started to make headway in the market I started looking at their ability to take game. I was part of an annual charity hog hunt in west Texas from 2004 thru last year and in 2010 brought a borrowed .50cal PCP to the hunt and took three boars with that rifle, two of them over 350lbs. Because I was concerned over the lethality of the 350gr hollow point pellets, I did not take any of them over about 20 yards. None of them moved more than 5 yards from point of impact. I was sold on the ability of the weapon to take game. Since then, I've purchased my own and have taken dozens of pigs. Now because I'm a bad shot I still keep them close and avoid any shot longer than 25-30 yards.

For a SHTF survival tool, its nearly perfect, it's a LOT louder than you would think for an air-rifle, so its not stealthy. But ammo can be cast from any bulk metal you have the ability to melt, lead, brass, copper and air is free as long as you have a pump.

Interesting note; Lewis and Clark had one as they headed for Oregon.

Hang fire can be a problem, and is an astounding reason to buy quality ammo. Had some off brand 9mm (Russian) that had 2 hang-fires out of 25 rounds. When it happens you have to just stand there for a long time pointing the weapon down-range waiting for the BANG, or lay it on the bench with a sandbag on it. When it does go off, you can wet yerself.

Ah yes one of my fav history moments involving Air Rifles.

2020-11-10 16:15:54 UTC  

Great bit of Air rifle coolness in that paragraph

2020-11-10 16:16:40 UTC  

*looks at 88mm casually sitting there*

2020-11-10 16:16:41 UTC  

hmm

2020-11-10 16:20:07 UTC  

This has something to do w hangfire....I live near a CW battlefield, the reenactors where test charging the field cannons...one of them had a failure because of the fuse but went off a few seconds later

2020-11-10 17:45:41 UTC  

Got some bigger mags comming

2020-11-10 17:51:41 UTC  

does any one shoot with one eye closed or are you not supposed to do that

2020-11-10 17:52:27 UTC  

i do

2020-11-10 17:53:36 UTC  

i can't aim without one eye closed but my dad say you should have both eyes open

2020-11-10 17:54:27 UTC  

nice to know that there are others

2020-11-10 17:56:14 UTC  

If im aiming down sights on say a rifle, i have both open to look for target and close one to take the shot

2020-11-10 18:02:42 UTC  

^ye about the same here. I typically use irons so I prefer one-eye aiming for precise shots, but otherwise I run two eye-open for better SA.

2020-11-10 18:03:14 UTC  

The exception is eotechs. I try to use two eyes regardless with eotechs.

2020-11-10 18:04:03 UTC  

For some reason, whether its for irl target shooting, or in videogames, i get extreme tunnel vision when zeroing on a target, and my friends have no qualms about screwing with me when it happens

2020-11-10 18:05:11 UTC  

interesting. I think I used to get like that, but what I started playing airsoft I made myself quite that shit because I wasn't noticing people in my peripheral.

2020-11-10 18:05:40 UTC  

never happened in vgs tho.

2020-11-10 18:07:35 UTC  

Also, it depends on light. Low light 2 eyes open is better

2020-11-10 18:12:24 UTC  

the most memorable incident so far was when i was lying still in an airsoft match for several minutes trying to find the twat in a ghillie suit and sniper rifle picking us off from spawn, and my friend left a miniature pumpkin on my head which i didn't notice until i moved around 20 seconds later

2020-11-10 18:12:51 UTC  

dude lowlight and I'm just going to point and shoot xD

2020-11-10 18:13:05 UTC  

That's usually me in the leafy suit w sniper.. I try not to spawn camp

2020-11-10 18:13:09 UTC  

*hears noise*

2020-11-10 18:13:32 UTC  

*procedes to let off a 30 round burst into the darkness*

2020-11-10 18:13:43 UTC  

^relateable

2020-11-10 18:13:47 UTC  

airsoft be like tho

2020-11-10 18:14:56 UTC  

Bois, i have noticed something about my airsoft AK that makes me sad

2020-11-10 18:15:09 UTC

2020-11-10 18:15:12 UTC  

the Charging handle doesn't go all the way back

2020-11-10 18:15:18 UTC
