That's a sweet looking piece of kit. Very tactical.
Have you ever tried shooting your pellets into something soft to see check the expansion? Most pellets tend to flatten when they hit a steel plate. Something like soap or duct seal would give e better indication of how they'll perform for real world applications (hunting). Or do you do it more for checking the power?

Well I test into a phonebook and as well actual hunting. I do know it hits hard and is very accurate but my .22 Patriot is still king at 920 fps!

:shock:

Dang Randy! The set up is just evil! You'd better wear a duster to throw over it when the po-po amble along their routes.

Then again , I keep forgetting your in Canada. Out here in Boonesville
Kansas we whip out the 22 if we forget to put the mail flag down! :D

Well I only shoot my toys on private land out of sight from others. Black guns + Police = discussion, and I do not like being hassled or having to explain myself when I am playing ball with the Federal Laws. :(

But thanks, I like different looking toys!!

Yeah I know. It's like "Bug off. I'm a responsible citizen. Go catch a criminal. Or at least a doughnut." :roll:

Hey, don't hate. It releases negative energy, which is bad for everyone.
