Anyone switching to airguns?

I was into airsoft for years, but I'm out of the sport now. I had a Umarex Steel Storm - semi, 6-round burst - in .177 bb caliber. Lots of YouTube videos on converting to full auto, external air supply, etc. Cheap at less than $100. These days I've switched to a non-lethal paintball gun - you can get rubber balls or even OC (with LE affililiation).

Recently bought an FWB 601 single stroke pneumatic to complement my 22 match gun. I equalled the weight and balance as well as the cheek and buttplate settings to my smallbore rifle so I can practice at home at 10M between the weekends when I train with my smallbore. I'll probably get a new PCP match air rifle, but for now the single side lever pump is pretty convenient in that I don't have to worry about buying a scuba tank, getting it filled, etc.

I recently got a M&P Co2 BB gun. Its not to shabby for practice in the garage. I am also going to be getting a airsoft version of my concealed carry and HD pieces.

Haha ... I just got a gamo silent cat that was on close to 50% off at big 5 last weekend. It supposedly shoots 1250 fps. Fun for shooting the pigeons that **** all over my backyard.

I started to kinda get into airsoft last year bought a fun litte electric mp5 for ~$80. There are a few indoor arenas in my area. Could have some training value to it?

I thought about it.... Besides my house surrounded by trees, squirrels target practice

When we and our neighbor had a rat problem a few years ago, I bought a Daisy co2 pistol. In the evenings I would sit outside, smoking cigars, drinking beer and shooting rats that were attracted to bird seed. I killed 16 rats that summer. Birdseed placement is important.

My son has a SAW I used it to light up a possum in my tree one day OH YEA!!! Get some!!

I got a RWS Diana 48 in .22". Sidelevel spring-action, 8.5lbs, 900fps. It is one solid German air rifle, beautiful beech stock, crisp trigger, very accurate, and hits hard.

Powered by my elbow. Will last a life time.

Yep.

Airforce Talon

Wow thats neat.. any more pics? How fast does it fire? Is that a paintball styled CO2 canister?

I got a couple of FWB CO2 177 pistols....cheap to shoot. And a Beaman R1 for the rodents

I supplement my firearms addiction with airguns.

I highly recommend the Benjamin Marauder .22. The .25 is awesome but it's my experience the .22 is more accurate and versatile.

I went all out and topped it with a Hawke Sidewinder 30 Tactical SF 8.5-25x42. The Airmax scopes are nice too.


With 3 PCP guns I invested in a shoebox compressor which makes filling my tanks/guns a snap.

I set up a 25 yard range on the side of the house - the guns are nearly silent, all you hear is the ping of the hammer hitting the valve. The impact of the pellet is the loudest noise.

Mrod topped with the Airmax EV

Fatherland security just ordered 2 trillion rounds of pellets and BB's. I can see the headlines tomorrow.
