Hawkeye69,
It's been my experience that you can't talk about those subject with most people because "most" people haven't done any actual thinking on the subject and can't defend their "opinion" so they get pissy.

South Korea exported the most powerful air guns in the early 90's and nothing was said about that. I have one of the early ones that I since de-tuned to increase shot count.

Oh man, don't just leave us hangin'! How much did you pay back in the day, and what's the specs on the rifle?

Airguns are “already“ regulated for consistent performance and regulated through law, just a fact. There are rules in place in many locales that regulate airgun useage...

The AR6 has been around a long time
This was the first Korean PCP imported into the U.S. Back in the early 1990s, a much rougher looking AR6 surprised Americans with unheard-of power and accuracy. At a time when British single-shot PCPs developed 20 foot-pounds and Sweden was still years in the future, the AR6 popped on the scene. It offered 50+ foot-pounds and 1″ groups at 50 yards. Overnight, American air gun smiths began modifying this bag of raw potential
But lack of support/parts killed the rifle. I got it in a trade + $200.

Stay within the rules to post on Airgun Nation. You never know who is watching and what they will do against you and other airgun enthusiasts with your own words.

JUST READING THIS THREAD .. and, What ever became of the fellow from about 2 years ago who IIRC was from Greece who was posting video stuff up weekly on shooting all sorts of objects, blowing stuff up etc ? In his town or on the outskirts. Crazy & stupid at the same time then suddenly vanished.

Your original post begs the question, too far for what? If you aren't soliciting regulatory/political responses, maybe you could be more specific.

Yes i think Air gun industry has gone way out of bounds as to what is thought of as an "Air Gun " The immediate thought most people get when Air gun is mentioned is "Daisy Red Rider low power bb gun " the good old days of a kid having a BB gun are long gone . and now the industry is building Full Auto guns with power .

No they haven’t. I don’t believe in suppressing innovation because we are “scared” something is going to happen.

I agree with the full auto part. Heck, when I was in army boot camp I always preferred semi auto. When I did night range shooting qualifying I switched the M16 to semi auto instead of trying to do the 3 round Burst. This was way before the 16 had that option and you had to do it manually. Ain't no body got the need for full auto.

Yeah Guys,
The post I made (since deleted) assumed some industry, airgun manufacturers are pushing needless innovation beyond practical limits to make $$$.
The marketing could suggests this new gadget is really fun ...... aka a video game.
However, when you start heading to semi or fully auto airguns - you're just asking/begging for legal reprisal whether warranted or not
.Why invite unnecessary scrutiny from the unknowing, naive or paranoid
?Claiming it's ALL your 2nd Amendment Right ...... Just isn't enough or reasonable.

Why cower in the shadows rather than to openly lobby against more regulation? Rather than to discuss if the airgun industry has gone too far, should we not openly discuss if gun regulations have gone too far?

There needs to be consequences for politicians who put out regulations and laws to push an agenda that has been or would be clearly ruled unconstitutional. Needs to be a legal review by an independent law firm or agency before it can be issued. Impeachment or fines would be good if they go ahead with something blatantly unconstitutional. The big problem is politicians are dumping massive amounts these power grabbing regulations and executive actions from many sources as fast as they can plus weaponizing government agencies to achieve a controversial political goal, hoping some will stick. A good example was that prior student loan forgiveness executive action that was clear as day unconstitutional but was done just before the congressional election to buy votes from existing and future student loan voters. I heard one big college town got 90% of the vote going Democratic. during the last election.
