My friend bought just that rifle when i was up in his Summer home two weeks ago, i shot a pigeon in the face
No, it's a really powerful rifle i was amazed how far it could shoot. He paid ?300 How much did you give for it?
Long distance shooting is easy with this gun, it's perfectly capable of 100 yard shots. I paid about USD$750, but it is , ahem, *imported* by some people...If it was sold here by the official importer, it would cost about USD$1000, judging by the price of the other models by Gamo sold here...
Quick explanation: airguns generally are one of the 3 kinds: springers, CO2 and PCP.
Springer (like mine) are powered by a spring (duh) which moves a piston, which compresses air in a chamber. Such compressed air propels the pellet. All this moving parts cause recoil and someday you have to replace the spring.
In CO2 guns, the pellets are propelled by the expansion of this gas, that can be stored in a tank attached to the gun or in little disposable canisters like these
PCP can be a
drug, but it also stands for "previously compressed pneumatic" and take this a little further. The idea is pretty much the same, but you have a tank attached to the gun with air compressed up to 3200psi. It has more power, the shots are more consistent, most of them have adjustable power and to refill the tank you only need a hand pump or a scuba tank, so it is somewhat more practical. The top airguns are of this kind, they make the most power, least recoil and most tanks are capable of 30-40 full power shots until the next refill.
I hope it helped
, if not, ask and I would be glad to answer!
but i can't seem to remove the pesky click the camera makes even when im in silent mode... they say that the asian firmware can't silence it. i have to reflash to european firmware...
