red_stag88 Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Every airgun is 12ft/lb or below, 'cept FAC. Dont shoot glass, it's preatty dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butchers Dog Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hi, i think, you should think about what you put on this site before you post it. Telling people that you shoot glass(this could injure and could also end up killing animals inhumanly), shoot pigeons off elderly peoples houses (with out permission,plus scaring the **** out of the elderly people (if you were just tucking into your cup of tea nibbling on a bit of short bread and casualy just glance out of the window and see some one pointing a gun in their direction what do you think might happen. so for the sake of our sport, please dont give the antis fuel. if you do want to learn more about shooting airguns safley either go to your local libary or just buy a few airgun mags, and read about the laws before even looking at a gun and take in the info they supply. this will at least give you the basic knowledge you need to start shooting safley and legaly Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 This guy is obviously keen on our sport and needs educating not chastising. Is there any one of use who has not shot at a bottle in our early days. Let him without sin... etc..etc..etc.. Dont send him away without any treatment! FM.

Chris B123 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 I use conkers to set my scope at 30 yards on my land and thats a bsa lighting 22 cal with a tasco 3-9x40 gold antlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgodley Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Yeh im new to this and was hoping to recieve information from this site we all have to learn somewhere :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denihow Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 If ur into shooting Glass???try hollow point pellets mate,that way the power goes directly into the glass and will probably break it,pointed and round head pellets(round head the best)bounce off the glass.BSA?buy a rapid 7mk1,theres alot of scope for improvment with them,ur abit stuck with the bsa for power,ofcourse you would need an firearms certificate if you did it by the book,then you could break glass all day at 70yards,if thats what does it for you,try shooting pigoens though,much more interesting,and ur also doing something for the farmer........

markgodley Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 yep i contacted a local gunshop and they said they cant put twice the power into a bsa lighting gun just increase it slighty. is that liez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byhsu Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 I think the BSA lightning with a good tune, would go from 12 ft/lbs to maybe 15 ft/lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byhsu Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 I heard of them reaching 17 ft/lbs with the theoben gas ram, but that is a .22 caliber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butchers Dog Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Whats with all this breaking glass stuff. Are you wanting to assasinate someone or summut??? well if you are youd better try something with a bit more umfff than a lightning with hollow points lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denihow Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 the best for those assasinations atempts that we all enjoy would be the gat gun,smooth fast handing,machine,you would be forgiven for thinking it was made for glass breaking,and the corks,well less said the better.
