Not going to get many pix of air pistol hunting on here, well not from decent hunters anyways.

 

Air pistols in the UK are limited to half the power of a max legal power non FAC rifle.

 

Most air pistols are not accurate enough and most only put out less than 3ft/lbs.

 

Sure some of us use them for finishing off a less than perfect shot, but I'd say 99.99% would only use rifles for hunting.

Hey, lads.

 

You may not get too many replys to this as an air pistol's not really the best tool for hunting. Not enough power and hard to shoot accurately.

 

Since 'Timelord' and his fantastic Benjamin's been abcent for a while, the pistol/hunting front's gone a bit cold......

 

Not the best tool unless you're VERY close, VERY accurate and know exactly where to hit what you're shooting at.

 

Cheers.

 

Edit... Best not done really. They're OK for killing pests in traps but not much else.

Got that covered mate

 

Risk- Pellets ricocheting From hard background

 

Who is at risk- The shooter and anyone in close quarters with the shooter

 

Precausions- Wear safety glasses

 

Findings- Pellets still hitting people in the face area

 

Re-evaluation of the precautions- Wear balistic proof full face mask, hard hat, leather overalls, steel toed boots and gloves

 

Evaluation- All risks From ricocheting pellets have been eliminated

 

Had to do this For Engineering BTEC at school and laying it out simply like ive done it pisses me off Hate to think what the people who do this for a living feel about plus there should also be a coshh Asssesment but feck it
