crosman g1 extreme 1000fps pellet gun
« on: June 08, 2008, 07:44:15 PM »
so, i was sitting at home today, and decided to do something about the squirrels that were munching on the house.  (yes, they are EATING the bare wood on the back of my house.)
So I get my trusty Crosman, (since shooting REAL guns in the city is ALWAYS frowned upon), and tag about 3 in an hour.. this pellet gun ROCKS!  3 shots, 3 kills, all three, the pellet went clean through..  the best shot... squirrel about 30ft up in a tree, partially obscured by leaves.  I take a shot, seeing only his front paws and part of his tail.  Hit dead between the eyes.. Instant kill. pellet exits through back of head. slightly messy spot on driveway. Wife yelled at me when she had to clean blood and stuff off the drivway with garden hose.

Squirrels eat my house, squirrels die...  :furious :t :mad:

Any1 else got a good shooting story??  (NOT related to AH2!!!)

Try it with predator pellets, they'll make a nasty mess.

my friend nailed a magpie in a tree once. he saw it in front of his house, went and got his pellet gun. the magpie was hopping around in the tree, just as my friend fired, the magpie jumped onto a branch below the one that it was currently on. the pellet hit the bird right below it's beak. the pellet went right into the magpies brain through it's neck. the bird died instanly. his neighbors later complained about it.

Well, not really a good story, but I have had A LOT OF FUN with my .50 caliber blowgun - it can reliably kill varmints up to 10lbs.

My brother was in his Building Structures class, No big deal. My brothers friend sees some crows flyin across an opening maybe 20 feet from my brother. My brother, nail gun in hand, bets that he would hit a crow, he misses. It was one of the new safety guns that you cant "bounce". ya shoot, wait for it to reload or what ever it does, rinse and repeat.

What coat do you use for your house?
For chewers you can use "carbol" (sort of a tar-whiff), or make your own cocktail from i.e. diesel.
I know this, for I have to deal with horses that frequently gewt stored in a paddock, and they will literally eat the naked wood.
Horse vs squirrel....horse eats more. And I can't shoot those  :D

If you want to experience "fun" go to Africa and shoot jackals at night with a predator call.

We used to shoot big city rats with air guns on night shift. As a general rules rats, squirrels, and what not dont last long around me.

And out at the farm? Any critter that eats duck or pheasant eggs is on my hit list. And that means skunks, possums, coons, coyotes, feral cats...ect

damn vulcan..  an air rifle will kill jacks at over 80 yards (80m is over 80 yards right?)?

I shot one of the 1200 fps airguns the other day and was surprised at how loud it was.  What is funny is that they now make a silencer version of the guns.

Air rifles cannot be discharged within my city limits.  Something about pre-pube punks roaming around at night shooting out streetlights and windows of parked cars......
