I think the most powerfull co2 is the sheridan eb22 (prohunter). Id talk to timelord about them as hes got a pimped out one. Can i ask why you need one for finishing of when hunting. I dont really see much point, its much easier just to point blank it with your rifle if it isnt quite dead. Hughesey Edited March 9, 2009 by hughesey1552 Quote Link to post

andyfr1968 772 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The EB22's a top bit of kit. I've used one as a back-up for a long time and it's never let me down. Dead simple and reliable and plenty fun for plinking. Quote Link to post
RustyG 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I recon a rat buster, it is a good capable pistol straight out of the box, and you can also trick it right up with better parts off of e bay, just watch out for the bigger valves they sell, they put it at well over the pressure limit Quote Link to post

Hughesey Your right Hughesey they are the most powerful pistol on the market, the HW 45 comes a close second but the Sheridan pistol can be customised to the hilt. Just have a look in my sig and do a search on the forum for related threads.... Quote Link to post
