Hi, I’ve just treated myself to something i last had as a young bear cub-an air pistol!
It’s a used Weihrauch HW45, just been shooting up some bean cans out the back for testing purposes :P

Only if they’re over a certain power level (6ftlb for pistols & 12ftlb for rifles) in practice the vast majority fall within those limits :thumbsup:

Built a custom stock for it and changed the spring for a, shall we say, more interesting one, me lord.

(I can neither confirm or deny that it was confiscated by the local constabulary, owing to a slight confusion where a freind may have accidentally shot plods son out of a sycamore tree. :o )

That looks lovely Buzy, it’s funny how they bring memories back-for half an hour or so I thought I was 14 again :)

Just looks like a real gun. I keep meaning to find somewhere to do some target shooting but never get round to it.
I recently took up archery and am really enjoying it. A lot more to it than twanging a string.

Smartbear, I am curious. Apart from the bean cans practice, what will you use the air pistol for?
I used to have two boys and a girl. Now I have two Men and a Woman. :?

It will come in handy when it’s time to thin the herds of giraffe & wildebeest that roam around Smartbear Towers 2 :P
