I hope those things get 2000 fps and have good energy on impact. A friend of mine has some tank driven airguns which fire a large, heavy bullet like a .45, and at high velocity. Dead on accurate and hits like a truck. Here is one of his airguns after being charged from the portable tank: Is that one round per re-charge? Might be kind of hard to re-charge on the run?

That would depend on whether you were the chaser or the chasee.

One shot one kill, right? Yes, not ideal. But maybe some sort of a compromise can be developed. I wonder how the Myanmar airguns work?

I wonder how the Myanmar airguns work? I assume they are probably manual, like ... but don't really know. But when the military is using rifles, rpgs and artillery, they are pretty much outclassed. But admire their bravery. Pump Air Rifles There are certain actions when shooting that just feel right. When you use pump air rifles, it offers a more hands-on feeling that many airgunners prefer when getting in on the action. A great option for those looking for fun and function all-in-one, a pump air rifle requires the user to pump up the air chamber, the power source, before firing. These style air rifles are easy and fast to use. Single pump air rifles require one pump (or cock) of the air rifle to obtain max power. Multi-pump air rifles require the user to pump, depending on the gun's achievable max power, about 8-12 pumps (check the manual first). One of the main benefits of multi-pump air rifles is the ability to control the amount of power you are shooting with. Pump less and you will get less power, pump more to get higher power and thus a higher FPS. Regardless of which option is right for you, we have the right airgun you need to use this kind of operation to your advantage with every shot.

Wow Blu! Thank you. I'd never heard of that before. Is someone making modern versions?

Cancel Culture will soon be going to work on them: I'm sure L&C would have done something to offend someone.

All of their crimes stemmed from "Toxic Masculinity". And in many other cases, toxic femininity pushed them along. Can't keep a good woman down when she's upgrading the nest.

What could possibly go wrong? The male mosquitoes are plant sap drinkers they do not bite animals. The females will usually only bite animals/humans once to get sufficient high grade protein for their eggs. So the idea is that the females get the VD fix from the males who cannot cause a problem anyway and the result is almost no fertile 2nd generation mosquitoes. There really is not much of a downside to this one except for people who have not been told the mosquito life cycle.
