  1. It worries me that the coppers you mentioned aren't familiar with the law!
  2. Yes, .22 pellets do typically have higher ballistic coefficients than their .177 equivalents, theoretically making them less susceptible to energy dissipation and wind. Although both of these advantages are made negligible by the fact that their muzzle velocities are both set to the same limit (12 ft/lb.) I will try to explain my reasoning... It is true that projectiles with lower ballistic coefficients are more affected by cross winds, but this phenomenon is compounded by the amount of time the projectile is in flight. Obviously the .22 pellet will take slightly longer to impact its targe
  3. Not under all conditions, so you're still talking theoretically, not practically.. Yes that's down the shooter's ability to estimate and adjust for range.
  4. Now he would be a very interesting person to talk to! I'd love to hear about his 'Dynamic Theory of Gravity'...
  5. Yes, they will both share the same consistency. But the inherently flatter trajectory of the .177 will, in practice, typically translate to a greater degree of accuracy, as less emphasis is put on the shooter's ability. After all we're talking about hunting here. Not traditional target shooting where you're shooting at a static target of consistent size at an identical distance every time.
  6. My dog isn't worth anything near that - I doubt I could get £50 for him - but I could never sell him for any sum of money!
  7. I know enough about the american legal system to doubt that he will ever leave prison if he's convicted... This is a country with over 1% of its populace incarcerated. That's not only the highest percentage of any country, but also the highest amount of prisoners in any country - considerably more than China! There's currently an american serving a 25 years to life sentence for stealing four cookies. The thefts occurred on three separate occasions - which, amazingly, is enough to invoke their 'three strike' law...
  8. I'd like to have a drink with Leonardo da Vinci, failing that I'd have Ceaser and Cicero round for a cuppa and cakes...
  9. I'm a student, and part-time Lifeguard. Although I build and repair PCs and edit websites on a casual basis. Work is slow at the moment...
  10. Not if you calibrate your profile so that all of the security features are on (most of them are on by default, and all of them are on if you're listed as under 18.) To change your settings, right click on the Account tab, which is situated on the far right of the menu-bar at the top of the page. Choose the fourth option down Privacy Settings, then click Customise settings. I would personally recommend setting all of nine variables to Friends only, and be careful about whose invitations you accept. That way any party with negative intent will literally have to brake the law in order to
  11. Awww, I had to read this thread when I was hungry! Seriously though, nice shooting, and cooking!
  12. Wouldn't it be better to just delete all of these threads?
  13. Excellent vid Ghost, I've been subbed to you for a while now. Your videos are always great!
  14. If price is a factor - I'd choose the S410 Carbine, else it'd have to be the HW100 for me!
  15. That's incredible - well done!
  16. I couldn't concur with you more there mate. I vehemently loathe dishonest people - if he's illegally imported firearms who knows what else he's done?!
  17. Wow, that is a truly sweet deal! I seldom hear of deals that good!
  18. That's second-hand gear right? It sounds like a very nice deal!
  19. Looks like he's set to be Bubba's new play-toy, for the next 20 or so years...
  20. Agreed, they eat the cherries from the two cherry trees in my garden then excrete them all over the patio and sheds...
  21. Lol no, but if I saw one I would definitely shoot something in his direction - he must be a mutant!
