For me it would depend on whether the guns primary purpose is hunting or target shooting. For hunting, get the PCP. PCP's are just more accurate, more powerful and less hold sensitive and when you're hunting you might be taking a dozen shots total, so once you've verified it's got a full...

Potato cannons really do pack a punch. With a good one, a large potato will just vaporize on impact. The question however is what the hell do you do with them? I've got one in my garage that uses a flint sparker. I haven't used it in years because after you fire a dozen or so spuds...

They did, but Daisy is itself owned by Gamo.

That sounds like the case. Same pellet style, same weight, same company. I never was a huge fan of Crosman pellets, but by most accounts the cphp’s are better than the Gamo 10x’s, so it’s sad to see them go if that is the case.

This guy does an extremely thorough review of four varieties of Gamo pellets. It looks like they make two versions of these 7.6 gr hollowpoint domes, but neither one fared very well.

I think those pseudo-cartridges have a hell of a lot of potential. They're something that can allow replica airguns to both feed and eject in the manner of the real thing and they might even have a purpose with non-replica airguns. With dummy cartridges we could use traditional style stick...

Here's another one you might try. The Air Arms S510 and its predecessor the S410 have been around for about 30 years now and they're just simple, elegant airguns. The bluing and the stock design are beautiful. I'm about 95% sure it was the gun the Marauder was copying, but the difference in...

I’m in much the same situation as you, my usual range is only 50 yards. If I really try I can stretch it out to 90, but it’s not a convenient set up, so most of my shooting is at 50 yards or less. What I’ve found however is that a gun that groups 1 MOA at 50 yards might open up to 4 MOA at...

I think that depends on what kind of accuracy you want. In his original post the OP mentioned one hole groups at 50 yards. That kind of accuracy will cost you both in money and more importantly in time.

I bought way too many since it looked like a good deal, but I'm regretting it. I've got a pellet sizer on the way and I'm going to try resizing them. Better to pay 11 cents a pellet for a good pellet from FX than 7.5 cents for oversized Apolos.

Just putting this out there because they are available at Pyramyd for $10 per tin of 100, or 7.5 cents a piece once you include the free fourth tin. That’s the cheapest I’ve found for .30 pellets yet, but be warned, their skirts are seriously oversized. I fired about 50 of them from my...

I haven't noticed it. The rules are that you can't talk politics, the use of airguns against people or about the precise details of certain NFA type items.

The battery powered ones are AEG's. Some of the airsofts are AEG, some are CO2 and some are "green gas" and there are some people out there that convert them into .177 BB guns. Which makes a lot of sense when you consider the sheer number of airsoft replicas that are available. I've got a...

I've got one in .25, but I wish it was in .22 for the higher shot count.

I can't really see where there would be any significant difference between them. 12 grams of CO2 is 12 grams of CO2, so unless one brand contains more than another or has special additives there shouldn't be any difference, and I really doubt there are any additives since CO2 is so widely used...

I saw an airsoft version of the STG44 in CO2 about a week ago and so far as realism went it was extremely good. I know conversions from 6mm can be done, but I'm not knowledgeable enough myself to do more than contemplate it.

I've seen the pictures of your Thompson and I'm jealous. What I really want though is a 1928 Thompson with wood furniture and a drum mag in .177. I might just have to get the airsoft version. My experience with AEG is that it's a far superior way to propel BB's, but it's nowhere near as...

Golf ball sized at 25 yards is lowering your expectations too far. That's the kind of accuracy I'd expect from a cheap spring gun. I would expect a $600 PCP to shoot around 2 MOA at 50 yards, meaning most of my groups would be 1 inch or less after I figured out what pellets it liked.

Agree 100%. That's good enough for virtually any airgun hunting and it's something that extremely few people can do without a benchrest or a tripod.

I'd say you're largely comparing apples to oranges. Just look at the number of parts and compare the level of complexity between a 10/22 and virtually any of the air rifles that have been mentioned here. The two aren't even close, so if you're paying a similar price for them you're almost...
