Scum will be scum, be it Dutch, British or what ever country they come from.....
Where eagles dare, The Eagle has landed, the eye of the Needle, The Wind that shook the barley, Michael Collins, Defiance, Apocalypse now, Platoon, just to name a few

Kral AV Turkish shotgun manufacturer, who also does the lower end of the airgun market. Cheap and Cheerful, but lots to improve on them, if you are a bit handy and have some elbow grease to spend.
Similar to Hatsan style air rifles.
