Wookie Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Ok, it's not the world's best air rifle, but it can take out rats at close range and it's good for plinking. I think everyone will agree to that. Just don't try for anything at long range hey? Wookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squintshot Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Last Engineer, you say you knocked over a can with it, I take it you got frustrated with missing and chucked the gun at the can knocking it over!! Squint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 if only it was that easy squint ,what you do is load the gun by depressing the barrel in and locking it,then get within an inch or to of the can , no scope required for this one pull trigger and the barrel releases and hits the can no pellet required either ,i guess you had to be there ask any proud gat owner for a display of shooting prowess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Sorry to be a harbinger of doom and gloom Flightline, but I had a rabbit stopper once and to be frank it didnt.. Unless I was close enough to club them around the head with it.. It was a quiet gun and reasonably accurate for plinking and thats what I used it for until I converted it to a soda stream... FM.
