Airguns, anyone?
 
Anybody here include airguns into their survival prep/arsenal? I used to have great fun with a .17 pellet gun when I was a kid.

Check this baby out, a .50 cal airgun!:

Not a bad little plinker!

actually i just bought this air pistol: http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.pl?model_id=482 from that web site last week. Hasn't been delivered yet but I plan to use it to build up on the same pistol shooting fundamentals that apply to regular pistols, at a fraction of the cost per shot :)

$20 and it's pretty damn accurate for a cheap chinese air rifle. I use it for small game.

Ha! I have that exact same one and bought it from the exact same place. It's got a hard trigger. Other than that, not a bad gun for the buck.

What is the muzzle velocity of that .50 cal?

I have a pellet question. Are hollowpoint pellets a gimmick, or do they actually expand? And if so, how many fps are needed to do it?
