Thread: Firearms and you: wotcha got?

Oh yes, to the topic of this thread: I don't have a gun, but I do have a bow.

I have shot compressed air pistol and compressed air rifle(4.5 mm pellets) when I was younger. The pistols and rifle were of the kind where you compress the air with a lever.

When I was a kid (teenager), my brother-in-law who was a trapper, hunter,etc gave me a magazine from Europe (I think Germany) with just air rifles --very nice air rifles. I remember him talking about how powerful they were and how it was a way for Europeans to try to get around the gun laws. I think they had a .22 cal. limit and were of the crack barrel type that can be bought more easily these days. At the time I was use to the multiple pump air rifles by Daisy, Benjamin, Crossman, Sheridan, etc. Some had 1200+ fps ratings --- I thought that was pretty cool back in the day. Anyway, just jacking my jaw,
