Here are a few common questions with the REAL question or motive translated... to anyone who has asked any of these and feel the need to get your panties in a bunch, don't. This is all in fun.
If any of you have any other common questions with the real translations, please feel free.
What do you all think about the new Sooper Dooper Springer that will do 1000fps? I want to use it for everything from chipmunks to coyotes. It's on sale now at XMart for $129.
I've seen Joe Blow on YouTube kill a hog with a spring piston gun in .177 and now I think I can do the same. All of you who spend big money on PCP's are just dumb when the same thing can be done with a big box springer. Besides... they shoot just as hard as a .22 rimfire. I mean 1000fps! I will likely never get close enough to a coyote anyway and instead will take an ill advised shot at 65 yards and might get close enough to scare it. Never mind the fact that shooting a springer...ANY springer requires a level of finesse. I'm a manly man and I can hold it so tight that there is no way it will move and I'll be able to shoot it just fine. If I need more precision on it, I'll just add my old rimfire scope and mounts to it.
I'm new to airguns and have been looking at the [insert whatever high end PCP here]. What do you all think?
This one is tricky.. there are typically one of two translations here.
1. I have more money than I know what to do with and now have a new hobby. I can buy the best gun, scope and all available accessories and Ill be able to brag to my buddies at the country club. I don't really care what 'you all think', I just want to show everyone that I'm buying the best of the best right out the gate. When I tire of looking at it, it will sit for a few years with all the rest of the toys that caught my eye at one point or another.
2. I've learned my lesson on buying cheap stuff and have budgeted for something that I believe will fit my purpose. I've taken into account all accessories. I've researched all that I know to research and I'm relying on the wisdom of the group here to ensure I haven't missed anything.
Why do I need to make 10 posts to sell my airgun?
I got a bug in my arse and went to Walmart and got a 1200fps brake barrel because I thought I would be able to kill things at 100 yards with it. I soon tired of it and I don't really want to consort with any of you undesirables on this forum, I just want to unload this gun and recover 112% of what I paid for it and 212% of it's actual value.
HW97 or TX200?
I full well know that this get a lot of chatter and I want to rile folks up. There will be about a 50/50 split and it will be fun to watch folks go at it. There's nothing good on TV tonight anyway.
What airgun would you choose for a SHTF situation?
I watch too much anime and when I was a child (ok, ok... and even as an adult) I read the books that had the 'if you want to do this, turn to page 23, if you do that, turn to page 45'. I secretly know the answer because Bear Grylls calls me for expertise on all things survival. I once even killed a spider in my living room. I don't really care about the answers that people give, I just want someone...anyone... to suggest the gun that I would select so I can tag on and virtual high five and chest bump with them.
