I have thot about an air gun too. I had a 22 cal. pump up Benjamin as a kid, wasn`t the best in my opinion, (back then). I have seen 1250 ft per second break barrels around for $180, any one have know anything about them ?? Also bought my son a 177 cal pump up, when he was young, he left it here when he moved out yrs ago. I left it pumped up over night once and killed it, don`t want another like it. It was a 950 ft per second if I remember right, would shoot thru both sides of a galv garbage can at 5 pumps when it was new.
Still have a bunch of 177`s and bb`s left over.
