Re: Airguns!
Would love to see some airguns...
How about my current stash?
Benjamin Titan .117
crosman 1322 .22
benjamin marauder .25
to really make it worth while though would have to add some small animals like squirrels, crows, starlings, house sparrows ext..

Re: Airguns!
No don't like the idea its worse then the people that want suppressors. You add something like this the bows become useless.

Re: Airguns!
Ever shoot an airgun before snakeyes? They aren't silent by no means. The larger rifle it is, the more it sound like a small rifle. Also, air rifles has pretty low accuracy at distance, less than 100 meters in most cases. Also they have SUPER low wounding power, you need to go for headshots and heartshots.

Re: Airguns!
No but i watched that video and they seem pretty quite to me and i have to say that was a pretty badass airgun still say we don't need them. That's just my opinion though and if enough people want them and they add them not a big deal to me i just feel we don't need them.

First an airgun (.117-.22) produces something around 10-20ftlbs at muzzle, basically suitable for nothing bigger than a rabbit, or crow. You can go ahead and use a bow on crows rats and starlings if you want, but most 99% of small game hunters would use pellets or shotguns. (and where shotguns would be a problem because it would disturb the farm animals for instance, a pellet gun really only option.snakeyes32 wrote:No don't like the idea its worse then the people that want suppressors.

Re: Airguns!
Most of the time an animal will spook if you fire a shot, that Waterbuck already saw the hunters and did not spook. I find African game are more tame than other animals. Obviously in game is different than in real life, airguns are nothing like suppressed rifles, read up snakeyes!
