Haha!

 

What sort of range can you get from FAC rated rifles? I'm not talking about hunting, just hitting a target like a can ect.

As for the broken glass in the country, yeah he's a numbnut for that!

 

well considering he is using 16g pellets I would suggest that even if he was using an fac rated gun 30lb would be about the max and at 100 yards pellet drop would be about 12" and he would be starting to lose inertia rapidly, now he is NOT elevating his gun and he does not seem to be shooting down hill, so I would suggest that if he is shooting "level" then his pellet would be on the ground long before 200 metre's, if his gun is a 12lber then he would have dropped four feet from level @ 100 yards I could not even imagine the height he would have to give the shot for 200 yards, anyway the pellet would have lost stability and flight due to loss of inertia long before.

Thanks for the informative reply, thought 200 yards was optimistic, i was just wondering what people here with more knowledge thought about his claims.

I'm just getting back into air rifle shooting after quite a break and it's a toss up between the 410 or ultra multi, nightmare decision as i like both.
