Most of us do NOT want nor afford to be entangled in lengthy battles! Thankfully many here have the luxury of big properties. In more challenging situations you can thump your chess and fight for your “rights” and lose your ability to shoot or find creative ways to be a good neighbor. If you have kids or pets running around you probably want zero chance of them losing an eye when they are out playing on your OWN property.
What they(neighbors) don’t know won’t hurt them! How many FPE does it take to punch hole on paper? Less than 1! Trying to get 1 inch group at 50 yards with sub 12 or even better, 6-8 FPE is not easy! Reduce power and noise to absolute minimum so we all can enjoy out hobby for as long as I can and I plan on decades of enjoyment. Plus, how to shoot covertly is a fun challenge in itself!
Stay safe, stay quiet and stay shooting! But this is Murica, you do you and I do me.
yup . smiles its very difficult to make youtube videos on current high fpe air guns without actually shooting them, but i understand ya. and that is what the small bores are for is plinking covertly.
but even my .22cal benjamin trail breakbarrel is around 25fpe when it is not desiled. the .25cal version of same is integrally suppressed. and the hatsan mod 130 .30cal is not very loud either. my .25cal avenger is my quietest airgun having both monocore baffles (drilled to 12.5mm and slid onto the barrel) and the buckrail avenger/origin suppressor and some of my personal baffles in between the two, it is movie style silencer quiet at 55fpe.
then my aea hp standard custom edition is integrally suppressed with stock baffles and my personal baffles added for a.25cal air gun that sounds like it is being cocked and shot with an empty tank but it is full and things are blowing up at 55fpe, then my aea .25cal bullpup with integral suppression and a dony fl tanto that has a regulator installed and is not exactly silenced but still pretty quiet, and next is my challenger pro .30cal that i have modded to be integrally suppressed, it sounds like a battery op toy gun like we ran around with as kids playing war but in every respect it produces 120+fpe , my aea standard big bore .357 is hanging on the wall cause it is currently not suppressed and produces over 300fpe with my lightest 125grain reload bullets, i do not shoot with pellets in this air gun, and lastly is my 51cal element max which has a dony fl emperor and extender and is still pretty loud producing over 500fpe and upto 630fpe.
that does not even consider that i am about to buy a challenger elite 51cal from terry fox. and all these to make videos with when i finish building up the protection level of my shooting area.
only one set of neighbors are caren/kevins. and they now have a 8 ft privacy screen to try and look through.there are people with airguns(well suppresesed ones) on both ends of my street that do not follow city ord and keep their projectiles on their property, and one of those is shooting over 400yards into the wood 10foot tall fence i live behind, ao i really dont cut for that covert crap, i get projectiles hitting my building i sleep in from the side and through and through. and if i find exactly who it is , they are gonna know what covert means.
they holed my caren neighbors windmill and the caren called the cops on me thinking it was me but the balistics prove it did not come from any of my airguns. so the issue is there if i want it or not.
stupid fool shooting at the 10foot tall fence not even considering what is behind it. so i am making all my shooting area bulletproof and putting that bulletproofing between that fence and my sleeping area. so any projectiles have to go through my whole backstop sideways before hitting my building.
now on the other side the idiot over there does not suppress and shoots in the air alot. again i seem to be the only one following city ordinance or giving a snot about their neighbors.
so i will continue to call the locals and let them know when i am shooting unsupressed. or shooting big bore. and the only reason i have a paper target at all is to show hits. and the self healing ruber really doesnt, the one layer of mudflap i currently have up has taken over 200 hits and has a keyhole 3/4inch diameter but does not let out any rubber mulch and i can not feel any other holes in it and i know its taken hits all over.
got most of my aea air guns fromn ben there in garden city ny. so tell him hi .
