dustyfox Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 hello just to say it should be called an air rifle not an air gun if you look at the definition of a gun. Gun (a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets or shells are propelled by explosive force. 2 a device for discharging something (e.g. grease) in a required direction.) Rifle (a gun, especially one fired from shoulder level, having a long spirally grooved barrel to make a bullet spin and thereby increase accuracy over a long distance.)

Also its a much more relaxed atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
