    That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the picture Gav?

    That’s like my wife’s car, only two of us have keys for it, but it’s only me who puts petrol in it?

    I haven’t tried them beyond 75ish yards, shooting further than that I’d be using different ammo. Some guns don’t like them at all, some do, so it hard to say.

    The sound of a .22 bullet ricochet is more pronounced than the same from an airgun pellet, but they are losing energy rapidly and will soon fall to earth. Bullets silently skimming off short grass will travel further, but after another 100 yards they’ll most likely be back on the ground depending on the angle of course. I’ve seen the damage they do 50 yards beyond ricochet point and I’d estimate 20-25 ft lbs residual energy from a standard subsonic bullet. No room for complacency but so long as you’ve got a safe back drop, as with any shot with any gun.?. You soon get to know them.?

    Yep, these guns such as the crown etc are something else when it comes to airgun performance. I use reduced velocity.22 rimfire ammo in some situations for similar reasons. I have some smaller areas of land where something like an fac crown would be ideal, and I intend to get one. The z langs do the job though, these were taken on a smaller area of land where I wouldn’t have wanted to use 100ft lb 40 grain subs, but a 12ft lb air rifle wouldn’t have been enough.

    My thoughts regarding fac air and slugs is, whilst I’m interested in the performance attainable with some of these fac air rifles, I can achieve very similar using z langs etc from a .22 rimfire. Easy, cheap, no hassle. As much as I love airguns, and always have, I don’t know how much point there is in chasing rimfire performance from them. .22 rimfires are very versatile, and can be run from 20 to 30 ft lbs using cb caps and cb longs etc, up to nearly 200 ft lbs hyper velocity. So I’d say yes, buy a .22 rimfire and you can have plenty of fun finding out. Just my opinion, others might think I’

    Yerr, that would be a step too far. I don’t think rats will ever be in great favour with joe public ?

    Approximately how long does it take your Mr average to pump up something like an hw100 to 200 bar ?
  17. Rimfireboy!
    Couldn’t agree more.?

    I hope everything goes well with your daughters recovery Jimmy, I understand your anguish. Our daughter spent three weeks critically ill in intensive care and the another week in another hospital in recovery. It’s a terrible and frightening time I know, as Jonjon says, it’s amazing what these doctors and nurses can do these days. All the very best to you and your family.

    Nice one vm, it will be interesting to see how you get on will both pellets and slugs?
  21. Rimfireboy!
    Interesting, are these parts readily available or custom made vm? Straightforward to fit or a job for a gunsmith? Also, what energy range does this set up deliver? Sorry about all the questions, but I’m genuinely interested.
  22. Rimfireboy!
    I don’t think you could expect any better than that, what is it that you shot at? I can’t make it out vm. Anyway, you’ve got me. I’m going to have to get myself one of these fac crowns. ?
  23. Rimfireboy!
    Agreed, being my own boss with nobody to tell me how to do things, I’ve worked out the best way for myself. I always plan well ahead, that way I’m never doing anything right now?
