How many air rifles do you have? : http://www.wolverineqtg.com/kwc-desert-eagle.html
Not enough, apparently)DEMON( wrote:Hay you lucky bugger, that thing is awesome!
here's my current collection: 
I only have a Hatsan 1000fps .177 break barrel. But I love that thing. You need a licence for a .22 air rifle in this country unfortunately.
I was pondering going big bore but the fact that the Monsoon is semi-auto sold me, maybe next year hectmarr wrote:You have to make many weapons, because this field is long and short life
You'd better have your SCUBA tank handy - the Dragon Slayer doesn't get much more than 5 useful shots per charge. If you want a multishot, then a hammer valve is a good idea - but for sheer power, it pales in comparison to piston valves.Hotwired wrote:The possibilities of a hammer valve are starting to grow on me...
I just looked up exactly what a 225grain .50 pellet at 195ft/lbs was and its about 14.6g and only a a few tens of psi drop in a reasonable air chamber at 3000psi...
) and the materials that could withstand it (which I don't 
) I'd prefer to make a coaxial that would drive that 225 grain slug almost twice as fast as the Dragon Slayer does, making the need for any other follow up shots superfluous.That's actually a real suppressor I made myself, see attached picsNice Anics SKIFF 3000!
I have the original version ( without the fake suppressor).
I agree that nothing beats the destructive power of a large bore spudgun, but I also like my long range accuracy, as well as the pride of ownership of being able to fondle a piece of finely engineered craftsmanship and rub it lovingly with an oily clothI used to love commercial airguns, until I made my first shotgun.
No commercial airgun will knock a piece of plywood out of your hand and leave a 1"hole in it at the same time...
Loguns are mostly rebadged models of other rifles and generally thought to be overpriced, though I do like their S16, in fact i was going to get the 35 ft/lb XS version before I saw the Monsoon was available. Their silencers are highly regarded, especially the new Logun QGS,I hear good things about LOGUN airguns.They come with working suppressors..

i wish i was old enough, had the money and had the liscence for an air rifle like that To own the Monsoon in the UK you would first of all need a FireArm Certificate, because 30 ft/lbs is well over the 12 ft/lbs limit - but even if you had this, as far as I know semi-auto air rifles (excluding the lower powered CO2 ones like the Crosman Nightsalker cannot be imported because of home office law that states that the only 22LR rimfire rifles can be owned in semi-auto.ALIHISGREAT wrote:i was old enough, had the money and had the liscence for an air rifle like that
I doubt it - the thing with the Anics is that the barrel itself is the hammer that knocks the valve open, so it would involve quite a lot of re-engineering, especially the mag feed.I have always wondered if I could turn it into a 9mm.That would render the reloading mechanism useless, but I wouldn;t care.
The problem is, I can't even get the slide off to take a look inside!!

i wonder why only 22lr semi-auto rimfires can be imported and not semi-auto air rifles? wouldn't a 22 be more powerful? How about a six-shot pneumatic revolver in 0.22" doing over 900 fps?Why hasn't anybody made a 9 mm CO2 revolver??

. Only if we all had the materials and tools . I would feel pretty satisfied if i made a airgun similar to a Mongoose FX or a Evianix AR6 . But you are getting one hell of a air rifle there 
. Where do you live, in the U.S.? Did you need a license for a air rifle even though it is semi auto?
