I saw a reply on another thread as an opportunity to show off a couple of my airguns. Any of you Old-Timers who haven't picked up an air gun since your Daisy Red Ryder or Crosman 760 pump are going to be very surprised. I have a 25 caliber lever action air rifle that I fill with compressed air from a dive tank. It shoots everything from 15 grain pellets all the way up to 58 grain hollow point bullets. It has an adjustable Power Wheel. On its lowest setting, with a 25 grain hollow point pellets, it will take the face off of a rat. On the high setting, it puts out about 90 foot pounds of energy.
My other air rifle is a 45 caliber bull-pup. It's only 29 inches long. It shoots 200 grain hollow point 'pellets', but it really loves 143 grain round balls from Hornady. It puts out almost 200 ft pounds of energy. There are production airguns that put out over 500 ft lb of energy, and custom guns that go well over 1000 foot pounds. These are great for hunting and pesting when you can't bring in a firearm. The first picture of pellets are all 25 caliber except for the tiny one on the left which is a typical .177 pellet. The second picture is 45 caliber pellets and round ball. The mushroom to pellets in the third picture are 25 caliber hollow points hitting a jug of water at over a thousand feet per second.
