These Air Rifles are as Powerful As A 22, Will it Replace Rimfire?

In the UK these are considered ‘bazooka airguns’ and are punishable by up to 150 wags of the finger and 3 concurrent life sentences

“If I was a better shot and had no wind” it would be a tighter group. Can confirm, this is true. Thank you, Mr Garand Thumb.

BTW, The oldest existing mechanical air gun, dates back to about 1580, and is in the Livrustkammaren Museum in Stockholm. This is approximately when most historians recognize as the beginning of the modern air gun. Thats 224 years before Lewis and Clark.

A very big part of this is Matt Dubber. He personally spent countless hours on slug technology. Fredrik Axelsson said Matt was the reason behind this advancement in slugs. Matt Dubber deserves to be mentioned here. 🎯👍

If the AFT can declare a piece of plastic not related to the trigger a machine gun, then they can also break the laws of physics to declare an air gun a "firearm"

Fun history fact: Lewis and Clark took an air rifle for hunting on their expedition, and saved the gunpowder they took for demonstrating muskets to Native American tribes they encountered along the way as a way of sparking trade with the government. The Smithsonian has the air rifle they took, and Robert Beeman of Beeman Air Rifles made a reproduction using experimental archaeology to see how powerful it would have been new. Collaborating with other historians working on reproductions of other period air rifles, Dr. Beeman determined that the rifle Lewis and Clark had would have been on par with modern .38 Special in terms of terminal ballistics. Anyone wanting to read the actual article Dr. Beeman wrote should web search 'Beeman Girandoni reproduction.'

My favorite large bore Airgun is the Zalinski airguns used on the U.S.S. Vesuvius (1888) that had 15 inch bores and launched dynamite filled projectiles.

I have a Seneca Dragon Claw, and this very much gets close to on par with some guns. A 50 cal pellet (210-550 grain) at 230-240 fpe. That's well enough power to leave a giant exit wound, as its been shown in ballistics tests as very effective

I used to use airguns like this back in the UK before I moved here. Anything over 12 ft/lbs was a "felony" but we still turned them up anyway.

I do a lot of rimfire shooting in high winds (prairies of central Canada), both .22 and .17HMR, so I'm pretty familiar with the conditions in this video, shooting lightweight low velocity projectiles - all I can say is holy hell, that group in those winds is INSANE. Then the course of fire near the end of the video, making one shot hits at those windspeeds and with changing direction that was obvious in the vid....wow, that rifle/system is an incredible performer. I have some Olympic style/quality air pistols, but have no experience with air rifles such as this. That's going to be changing, now. Currently trying to find a dealer in Canada for this rifle/company, and if not, I'll just purchase one next time I'm at my US property. Impressive, not often I'm sold on something I just see online. -EDIT Found a Canadian distributor/dealer, it's on FX's website, easy peasy.

Used to have a.177 pump air rifle. Took it apart put a piece of inner tube in the bleed off valve so it couldn't bleed off. It could put a bb right through a car door into the interior. Awesome.

Gorgeous man! Absolutely phenomenal. I love this video man. I love the setting and I love the view. Feels like a huge man cave. 💪💪

Reminder that Girardoni airguns were actually the high-end DM rifles of the late 18th century, with some attributes of an AR. I mean it sucked by modern standards, and you essentially had to be a specialized mobile gunsmith in addition to a rifleman if you wanted to actually keep it running. But when they worked, they literally had about as much firepower as a modern magazine-fed manual action 22, which for a shoulder rifle in 1800 is almost incomprehensible.

It was very satisfying to hear the pings from the long-range targets on the hill. 300 yards with an air gun. Impressive. Very nice. 😎

the best cinematography and mini bike action I've ever witnessed! ...now I want one of these air rifles! damn you!

Dude. The landscape. So beautiful!

They make 7.62 air rifles that are crazy powerful. I'd love to see you guys check those ones out too!

A lot of people here in California are buying these air powered rifles and like they said you can learn the fundamentals of marksmanship with these and you dont need a range or even be out of city limits to shoot em... I love all this

Awesome fun excellent video thanks Mike and Micah

Lived in Idaho my entire life, not sure how I just barely found your channel but love the content.
