Phil You know that Phil better than a argos catalogue That's something a will never forget lol. My grandfather that Xmas morning coming down stairs all my family in livingroom over at there's. Over 14 family members. Anyway cut story short when I opened it. " Am like what's this granddad argos catalogue eh " . He says seen as though when you come over your always in cupboard getting ours out we thought we'd get you your own for xmas . You can imagine as a 8 year old. Thinking your getting something decent . A Fcking Argos catalogue. Lol After all family had a laugh watching me flip. My grandfather brought down my new bmx that my mum & dad had taken over. But like you say waking up to a gun like that you'd be over joyed Phil. 1 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,981 Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 My grandson loves to shoot cat milk plastic bottles which are only 5'' tall and so light that they take off when the pellet hits them, keeps him happy for hours and no mess. I have quite a few empty ones as we fire them off on a webley dog taining thrower/gun thingy but if you Struggle to get any (if you want) I can always send some up Jimmy, light as a feather.

Pair it up with a weihrauch silencer and it'lll be super quiet too. Sweet spot is at 200 bar on mine.... The 8" long barrel imo does effect accuracy. Lastly, I don't take mine down, despite this ability being the main reason I bought it! If you don't either, discard the small plastic block in the front cylinder to gain a few more shots - it's designed to minimize loss of air when dismantling, so is not needed. Happy shooting Hope this and email sent helps. Quote Link to post
