I was sitting in the nurses office waiting half an hour for a BENADRYL today, and watching the starlings and crows in the fields. Flocks of the buggers, all within airgun range. Usually landing 35-50 yards away, there was a tree at about 75 and another 200 yards backing it up. The crows would sit in a tree about 100 yards away, but a miss would result in broken windows. All I could think of was moving around the furniture in the room for a nice stable rest and place to take a prone shot. Bastards. You could sit there with a tin of pellets and shoot starlings all day. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Buy a Nintendo DS or something. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 4:43 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia I have more than a hobby, it's called an addiction. I am addicted to lead and compressed air. I can't get written up for electronics anymore this year without getting suspended. One of the teachers needs to get laid and go take a hit off the "green pipe", always writing people up for pointless stuff. Why do you say I need a hobby? I was at the nurse's office waiting for some medication so snot stops running out of my nose. The birds were staring at me anyway, saying "YOU COULD HIT ME AT THIS RANGE!" _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

That IS your hobby. Indeed Fritz, Rogerflat hit the nail on the head. If it's an addiction, you might want to consider other things. It's not healthy to be that focused on something that eventually get you into a "the birds" situation. And trust me, even semi-auto rifles won't help in that situation. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 6:11 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia It's a metphorical addiction. I have many other things on my mind besides shooting starlings (even though I would love to ). If we weren't addicts we wouldn't be on the forum! EDIT: Broom, the reason for fully automatic weapons is because SEMI didn't seem to work well enough. MWAHAHAHAHAHA imagine a .22 condor on full auto... You could make a gas operated system, likely capable of over 500rpm. That's a lot of holes in a critter. I think it would be entirely possible to modify a gas operated powder burner into a semi auto airgun. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Or one of these: _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 8:09 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia The 6 barreled condor seems a bit more exciting, and it's more creative. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
