Informative but also entertaining. At of AoA indoor range ( hallway). A visitor tries out this cannon Kip built.

It's Giles, from The Airgun Show! I'll bet that was quite a surprise, a heckuva step up from his 12fpe guns!
Last year I had to go to Phoenix for a work trip. The work trip was a snoozefest, but I got to go by AoA before I went home. My coworker actually bought a new airgun while we were there! During our visit I got to meet Kip and put my hands on that rifle. I thought he told me it was built to fill to 4500psi, which would explain how they get so many good shots from the "low" power setting. another puzzler...he said it's made for a .452 bullet, not the .457 "45/70" bullet used by the DAQ, Texan and (I assume) others. But the .452 is normally, I believe, a pistol bullet....did you see the 440gr monster Giles was holding??? Not your typical pistol bullet for sure!

I did not know his name but have seen his shows. The two of us are built alike. I saw him in another posting--from yesterday--holding an 12 fpe Impact at the FX factory.
I know almost nothing about big bores But it must have been loud as all hell shooting it inside the building. I doubt that gun is backyard friendly. (And I think Kip said he gets some of his bullets from Mr Hollowpoint).
