| Let's see: A nesting elephant has to be small to fly up there; probably only about 5 tons. At 1 FPE per pound of animal I could take it out with an 8 grain .177 pellet if I could get it to go 23,723 FPS. |

You had better get to tuning if you ever want to
reach that goal before dinner. |

Watch out- you've given the Gamo marketing types something to think about now!  |

| I'd recommend cropping the bottom of that pic. There is a tell tale photoshoping erase/clone-stamp mark in the bottom lefthand corner of the image. |

AirGunEric,
There will probably be a new video depicting just
that, soon. Makes as much sense as taking a tied down,
tired young boar with a .177 cal. springer.
It would probably sell tons of guns to the unknowing
though. |

| I'm gonna go to where guys are hunting elephants. As they blast one with their big boar rifles, I'm going to have my buddy camcord me shooting at it with my gamo shadow. Make it look like the .177 dropped it. I'll say I used pba ammo too. Then I'll utube it. |

To make it more impressive you could avi it from 110
yards and then dramaticaly zoom in for the kill.
Then a quick zoom in on your Talons powerwheel set
to low. |

| A "Crow-Magnum" with a drop of Nitro in the cavity, sealed in with a drop of wax, should bring him to the Elephant's graveyard,LOL, Cheer's, Andy. |
