Why did we not have these when I was a kid?

Actually probably better. List would be longer

Seriously though this is stupid awesome.

[scumcity14]

that's basically a 20 gauge slug with out the gun powder. Slightly smaller diameter that a 20g slug and @ the same velocity and impact...nice and quiet

[Che'_Moderator]

Its basically.... .50 cal. A lot slower than .50 other than maybe .50 GI. And way slower than a 20ga. Still more than fast enough to mess someone up. Not that quiet though.

I was just estimating...IIRC a 20 gauge slug on average is @ 720 fps or so MV.. and what .62 diameter? so its close. I am sure its louder than your average Daisy but quieter (and not obvious what it is) than a 20g. it is interesting for some reason though

Your shotgun is broken.

Yeah your right...my numbers wrong. its about 1/3 the velocity of a 20g slug

Maybe I should re-visit some of my re-loading info..

3,000 psi max fill pressure? How does that work? I'd hate to drop that puppy.

Thats about what most airguns are. Standard C02 charge is 4500 I think.

[Honeyman]

Amazing... I gots zero experience with CO2 except for old school soda water bottles-they make a decent squirt gun.

Did you buy it yet

[flyfishing3]

that thing is awesome, barrel is a little narrow for what i want.

i want to shot rock salt, spoons/forks, tuning forks, pens, crushed up cans, basically, all my garbage into the neighbors yard.

Agreed, spud gunnnnnn. All sorts of fun, and people don't get all upset when they see it.

Prototype from oh-so-long ago. Worked like shit. Very tricky to get the fuel mix right. However, we did have fun shooting ice-loads from it. We had a smaller section of pipe kept in the freezer that we'd fill with water. The ammo is quick to biodegrade

Try number two:

Check out my sweeeet haircut. Barrel was threaded so you could separate it. Otherwise, it didn't fit in a sedan. But it would shoot rocks right through plywood like it was paper And the boooom. Ohhhh the boooooooom. Also fun if you load it with ice cream sprinkles or confetti.

Looks familiar... Except I had an air compressor attached to the second one we built. About the same size as your second one though.

But seriously Chuck, did you buy it yet? If not I know what my next purchase is going to be

1. It better be the parts am holding for you.

[Kevin.]

Yes but I have friends who live off base. Time to shoot small children...err....bunnies! Yes bunny rabbits

Co2 is less than 900 psi, and that is at higher temps.

The tubes on the bottom hold air. Valve releases air which pushes the slug out. I don't think that you should have a problem dropping it, even though Korean guns are said to have thinner than normal tubes.

They stay around 750-900 fps depending on tune, pellet weight, and shot number. Most only get 3-5 shots before power and POI drop. The .44 and .45 are actually more powerful than the .50 cal.
