BBs are O.K. but the pellets kind of fall out the front. I am itching to try some airgun darts through it. My best BB shooting through this pistol is "From the Hip" with one hand. When I use the Weaver stance and sight it I can't even hit the paper at 5 yards but ...from the hip I can keep it in the circle at least. This gun is fun Does anybody know where I can get the "bolts" that ae supposed to be shot through the 1010? _________________ Coopie Clan   Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 12:48 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" I think you are the first person to suggest a Marksman 1010 is "fun". Usually it's "frustrating" or simply "@#@^W$%$!!!@#%^!". I believe you can get the darts from PyramydAir. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I think I can learn to shoot it well. I got the gun and a lifetime supply of BBs for cheap so I am enjoying it. _________________ Coopie Clan   Posted: Sun Aug 15, 2010 11:24 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA I have one with 1/2 round through it. I say 1/2 because the burr on the muzzle crown was so bad the pellet stopped in its tracks. Haven't had the desire to work on it. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 3:24 pm Coopieclan Member Joined: 01 Aug 2010 Posts: 32 Location: New York State I bought some .177 cal darts from an E-Bay seller "Damn Big Yank" He has good (rare) pellets. The darts are like a joke. they fly in like a corkscrew flight-path. I am amused but they cannot be used for anything in the Marksman 1010. The "barrel" is 2 & 1/2 inches long. I could blow them through a soda straw better. _________________ Coopie Clan Darts   Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 7:42 pm Coopieclan Member Joined: 01 Aug 2010 Posts: 32 Location: New York State This are what the darts look like. I am tempted to put them in a quality .177 cal pellet gun to see if they can be shot straight. _________________ Coopie Clan Re: Darts   Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 8:19 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho Coopieclan wrote: I am tempted to put them in a quality .177 cal pellet gun to see if they can be shot straight. you'll only damage the rifling. i have some and they work good in my smoothbore crosman 760. extreme penetration at low velocity. as in 3 pumps and you'll never pull them out of plywood. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2010 3:18 pm Coopieclan Member Joined: 01 Aug 2010 Posts: 32 Location: New York State I took the Marksman to the outdoor range The darts would not go the 50 feet to the target... sad... I am am probably not buying a new gun to shoot the darts _________________ Coopie Clan   Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 1:06 pm Coopieclan Member Joined: 01 Aug 2010 Posts: 32 Location: New York State Well I have had it. There is no using the Marksman along side of even a $40.oo gun. I am selling it on GunBroker.com (plus a lifetime supply of bbs and some darts) http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=189838168 Last edited by Coopieclan on Fri Sep 10, 2010 7:40 pm; edited 2 times in total _________________ Coopie Clan   Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 1:29 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Can't stress using a smoothbore for darts enough! That's why no one uses darts anymore. Smoothbore rifles and pistols have become a bit rare, or just cheap and useless. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 1:51 pm Coopieclan Member Joined: 01 Aug 2010 Posts: 32 Location: New York State broommaster2000 wrote: Can't stress using a smoothbore for darts enough!

The tranquilizer dart guns are .50 cal smoothbore. http://shop.pneudart.com/products/Model_179B_Pistol_CO2-7-3.html is the website that sell them. I'm not saying this has a home in sport air gunning... Just interesting. _________________ Coopie Clan   Posted: Sat Sep 11, 2010 6:21 pm under500fps Veteran Member Joined: 03 Mar 2007 Posts: 217 Location: Nova Scotia These darts were shot out of my old Crosman 781 from 25 feet . They are not very accurate but they are fun to try ones and awhile . I find them to costly . _________________ René My air gun stuff .   Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 3:15 pm Coopieclan Member Joined: 01 Aug 2010 Posts: 32 Location: New York State Nice shootin' That is how I should have been using them. I have no safe indoor space to shoot airguns (even the marksman 1010 with darts) The gun and ammo did not sell on gunbroker.com I will try again around Thanksgiving (for Chriscmas) or in the spring (for summer fun) _________________ Coopie Clan I sold the Marksman 1010   Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 9:52 pm Coopieclan Member Joined: 01 Aug 2010 Posts: 32 Location: New York State Well I sold the BB gun. They got a good deal... but I wasn't about to give it away.
