fac air gun

[matmorgan 49]

whats the benefit of an fac airgun.if you have the license why not just get a rimfire .22??.

the advantage is they can be used indoors...barns etc, without the risk of stray bullets and ricochetts.......as the effective killing range is far less than a rim fire.

 

unless you live in ireland then all air rifles require an fac.....so you may as well have more power.

surely you dont need an fac airgun to shoot in barns.a normal 12ft ibs is more than enough for indoors isnt it???.

[SEAN3513 7]

in some case's yes !!......probably a bad example

 

one of my permissions is a cemetry and they have an "airgun only" policy...as pellets don't damage the head stones.

 

cheers

an FAC airrifle will give you a bit more range and hitting power but like already stated the damage will be more.... not as much as a rimmy but more than 12ftlb air rifle..... with a rimmy tho thats another big step up in range and damage which is sometimes a disadvantage for just say a small paddock or anywhere with a footpath near it (which a firearms officer would have to okay even allowing a rim fire rifle on that land) its a difficult one but i would need to have a very large shoot to justify a FAC rifle of anykind and if i did go FAC it would be either a .177 or .22 rimmy

the storm has the 18" barrel instead of the 12" which is the only real difference to be honest, i have custom made wooden fore-grip and pistol grip, high tensile s/s spring, extra heavy custom machined hammer, solid custom made top hat, valve stem and o ring mod on the valve insert.... got a couple of extra mods i want to do but waiting on funds... (24" custom walther match barrel, o ring mod on the breech, fluting to the breech)
