Am I the only one who is sick of bullpups?!!!
- Thread starter Ghostmaker
- Start date
I don't like bullpups either.
Unfortunately, my bullpup is the most accurate gun I own.
I am totally conflicted!
Woe is me.

Perhaps you need to revisit your definition of objective beauty. To me, function trumps form.

I don't know any specifics of the Girandoni, but have a buddy that has been building his take on ball reservoir air rifles and pistols for years. He gets some rather impressive power out of his guns and they always tend to be larger bores shooting round ball. Google Mike Reames Airguns.
Also keep in mind that what we consider to be powerful today was not so long ago unheard of power that was a thing of pure myth as regarded by many.

If I am the gentleman, then put me down for not caring one way or the other. This seems to be one of those threads designed to take the long way nowhere. The bullpup is a viable design that some people like and some people don't. What more can be said?

I will not part with my .25 Cricket BP.
As a supervisor once said, don't knock it until you have tried it.

When my Mutant can shoot 5 separate 5 shot groups at 50 yds and can all be covered with a dime what's not to love?? The bottom center target is my Bwalton .30.

Well everyone has pretty much missed the whole point of the original post but it has been entertaining nonetheless.

More power does not come from higher air pressure. It comes from a greater volume of air for each shot. Air rifles with reservoirs that can be charged to higher fill pressures get more shots per fill but are not necessarily more powerful.
I remember reading a thread a while ago on another forum where someone built a DIY big bore co2 rifle that was putting out over 300 fpe. The pressure probably wasn't a lot higher than those old air rifles at 800 psi.
Take a look at the curve on a decent unregulated air rifle. Note how the power initially climbs as the pressure drops. Also not how, if tuned properly, the power doesn't change much regardless if the tank is at 3500 psi or 1700 psi even though the hammer force striking the valve is the same each time.

Fascinating conversation Guys! Good wholesome, civil '"debate" This my friends is why I love AGN!
All I will say to this thread to add my 2 cents is this, I am the proud owner of two Bullpups, both a .22 and .25 cricket, And I will NEVER go back to traditional rifles!!
The reason I will not is simple, I am a HUNTER! I shot over 46 rabbits this year, possibly 35 squirrels, 100s of sparrows and starlings and over 500 feral pigeons
I walk most of the time when I hunt, but at times I shoot from my truck, and the Bullpup is INFINATELY easier to carry, to swing up or sideways for a quick shot, it is lighter, and shorter than traditional rifles, and in the woods, a gun that is 15'' shorter is a HUGE deal.
Shooting out of your truck, a gun that is only 26'' long is a HUGE deal!!
That my friends is why I LOVE and shoot bullpups. I am a hunter. I guess that says it all......
