Phantom 631 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 On my forum Jim; over in New Orleans; put up a hypothetical thread on what would be your choice of Airgun in the event of a major catastrophy or civil unrest. Sort of end of the world type scenario where you had only an airgun (cal and power limits removed), rifle or pistol to defend yourself and provide food for the table. This one pointed out by our resident gunsmith Nick, has to be one of the best: Watch it all the way through. Now which would you guy's go for and why? Phantom Quote Link to post

andyfr1968 772 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Iteresting link, Tony, I enjoyed that. 1500 pumps!!?? Feck that!!! I'd go for either a full power HW90 or a Theoben Eliminator. Self contained and both should last forever. Cheers. Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Something with a bit more clowt haha But the Quack only has one or two shots! Remember you'd be up against the appocolyptic scenario here, hoards of people and animals fighting for they're very survival. Phantom Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Incidently you guy's did you know that the HW's of today are down to Dr. Robert Beeman, in the 1st video? He approached Weirach with designs for improved stocks and actions to give their rifles more power and comfort for the shooter Phantom Quote Link to post

aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 id probably go for a really powerful fac gun like a daystate and have it converted to .25 or even .30 (if its possible) and shorten the barrel so it was more manouverable and fix a bayonet to the end. that would be the best airgun in the end of world/zombie appocalypse. id also carry about 10 ready loaded mags.
