So people at work give me a hard time about airgunning, cuz they know I shoot birds with them and stuff. This girl the other day said something about me shooting birds with a bb gun. And I corrected her and said "pellet gun". Then she was like "What's the difference?" After I finished laughing at her (not with her) I said that real men use pellet guns, and bb guns are for kids.
Then another guy tried to belittle me by saying, "Oh yeah, pellet guns are really manly." I just responded and said that "Airgunners are a different breed, you wouldn't understand."
It's funny how clueless most people are about airgunning, and how many misconceptions there are. In a way its good, because I think serious airgunners can use that to their advantage. Like I've said before, if I ever had the cops show up at my house because I was blasting away with my powerful Talon, I'd just say, "I was just shooting my bb gun in the back yard, what's the problem?" |

| I say... "Let them think they are just BB guns" Then we are less likely to end up with regulation... |

| Unfortunately, there are some people that are so dumb that they really don't even understand the difference between an airgun and a firearm, so the excuse of "It's just a bb gun" might not work on them. |

Especially when you go prone while looking around your shrubbery for your next victim. lol
Right now, our city is being hit by a some person or people with bb and pellet guns. Over 100 car windows shot out so far. Not good for those of us using our guns for fun.  |

Ya know...
I get what y'all are saying and I'm with you most of the way but the one thing about these forums that really grates on my one remaining nerve is this seemingly complete disdain for BB guns.
It's official, real men shoot BB guns too.
1 magazine full of 5.56mm "cheap stuff" currently costs about 15 dollars.
I can buy 9,000 Copperhead BBs for the same price.
Now which do you think will give me more practice time and allow me to do things like this?
Gun - Daisy Red Ryder
Ammo - Copperhead BBs
Target- US Half Dollar coin
Distance - Unknown, Aerial
17 hits out of 20 shots fired.
I also have a habit of throwing my cigar butts up in the air and shooting them whenever I finish a smoke.
Love your pellet rifles and pistols by all means, I know I do. But ease up on the BB gun hate a little, huh?[/img] |

It's more amazing than shooting like that with a powder burner.
BB are so random on their trajectory. One goes over here, then another goes over there. And he hits a coin in the air 17/20? Crazy! |
