countryman Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 So, what do we think of this gun? Seems to be a few variations but the loading system seems to be the same on all of them. Looks a very compact design. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I've not seen one of these before, interesting looking thing indeed. Its not the prettiest looking rifle i've seen, I think they could go along way to make it look better. The fast fire loading seems novel but what is the point, its not as though you need to fire multiple pellets that quickly. If you did, I can't imagine they would be on target as they claim. But i'm sure its good fun plinking tin cans etc. That 32 shot mag will certainly put a smile on your face when plinking anway. The site doesn't say what caliber it is and though they state 170 shots per charge, I wonder how many you actually realisticly get to a decent power curve. Still the reveiws I have read seem to suggest the rifle is very accurate though the trigger is not its best feature. Whilst i'm sure it could put a smile on my face, I can think of better ways to spend the £700 asking price. I'd love to try one out though.

TuftySnuffer Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Are we talking about the UZI/Mac10 type quick reloading air rifle that loads by a shuffle of the pistol grip? I hear that they are the dogs danglies for short range ratting using a rotarty type horizontal mag. However the triggers I have heard are not much better than say a webley tracker (Single stage). I can also think of better machines to spend 700 notes on too regards PGB/Tufty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airssassin Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 A novel rifle indeed and some great unique features. As has been said, I'm not sure how possible it would be to fire off 1 aimed shot a second at anything other than short range. Is there anywhere you can try it out? I believe the shot count as it uses a similar air bottle to an S-16 which does have about 220 shots. It is short and light which are always things I look for in a rifle. For that price it is hard to justify it over say an HW100K (which come with a superb silencer) or the new Daystate Merlin which are both proven top class rifles.

countryman Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well, ive gone and done it and brought one. Although its early days its as accurate and powerful as any other pre charged rifle that ive shot. A real plus for me is that I shoot a lot from my landrover window and its nice and small to poke out. I think with some practice you could easily get a second shot off without moving your head away from the sight but any more shots than that and its a bit cowboy. Very intersting gun though.

airssassin Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Let us know how you get on with it! It's always good when someone buys something unique. I hope you have lots of fun with it. Just don't cock it too quickly when looking down the sights and give yourself a black eye!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 i take it you dont read any air gun mags then mate No Col s10, I don't. The only time I read any airgun mags was when I was out to buy a secondhand PCP. After which I had no need to read up on airguns I wouldn't be buying. Infact, i've gotten quite fed up with the gun mags, its the same thing over and over. Countryman, sounds like its putting a smile on your face already. If you do get the chance, i'm sure others would be interested in your full review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA Shaun Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I think it would be good fun, be can't really see it in a practical sense. Countryman could prove me wrong tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
