Bam/Targan B21 (American name: Xisico XS-B21)

Its not barrel break, but got a lever on the right side.
But most important; its got 300m/s Very Happy For metric system haters
http://www.airhog.com/convert.htm

Its got well, average reviews because of the build quality and bad quality control, you could be very lucky or very unlucky with the rifle. Guess I was lucky... good accuracy from 50 meter. It doesn't come with a proper scope, but it can be mounted. I think it worth it, because the little scope in front of the gun just doesn't do it

I think you even need FAC in America to own one. (some license they need to own a powerful air rifles, don't remember the limit tho)
Had to buy one fast, its legal to buy and import any air rifle in Norway today, but iv heard you soon need a license and even need to be a in a club to own one, so I figured it was the perfect time to get one Very Happy Its illegal to hunt with air rifles in Norway tho, no matter how powerful they are.

Got a CO2 air pistol too, but well the power and accuracy you get from those aren't that great


You got an air rifle?

Good for you!

Now, remember, don't point at people (unless it's a troll), and don't you go school shooting with it!

Did you leave it cocked for ages or something?

I've had a few air rifles and pistols/guns in my time but the problem now is all the strict laws we have and finding somewhere you can use them.

You don't need a license to own an air-rifle in the US. Nor do you need one to own any firearm that isn't excessive. Machine-guns and the like which were banned in the 80's and don't fall under the grandfather clause need a license, however. The state of Illinois has the FOID card which you need to purchase/own a firearm if you are a resident of Illinois. However, you still don't need one to own a silly air rifle.

Air rifles are nice. Had one when I was a kid and man I used to shoot at everything. Good times.. Smile

@Razacka2: Club? Why would you join a club to shoot with air rifles? Just shoot at targets in your back yard or wherever.

Could you shoot the wings off a fly????????????????



You know what I really REALLY want to do. I want to go to a rifle range and try out different guns. Kinda like a driving range.

Like every other kid I had a crappy one, barely could hit a wall from 15m with that POS.

Sometimes I toy with the idea of getting a proper rifle now, but then again why bother since crossbows are in the same category here in Finland (no permits etc. required) so might as well buy one of those.

Some nice high FPS crossbow along with some of those evil broadhead arrow tips that get stuck on flesh ought to teach those jehovah's witnesses and salesmen that sometimes come bothering me. Very Happy

Definitely not on purpose, but I got pretty good at the spider one in the end :D It wasn't like it was 9 out of 10 :D
