Dang! Sniper's right. Under our ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY, the gun you used to commit this gun crime must now be confiscated. Please email me and I'll send you the address to which you may voluntarily turn in the gun in question. Failure to do so may result in severe repercussions. (Well, okay maybe not exactly severe but Sniper will be really disappointed. I promised him 10% of MSRP every time he helped me scam somebody into sending me their AG.)

Hit it both times... go me? lol What type of pellet were you using? looking at the impact indents on the coin it looks like it has been hit by a .22 crosshead screwdriver.

Is there something else about the pellets used that we haven't heard? _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

At 30 yards, you'd think a pellet that severely deformed would have been several inches off target.   Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 4:43 pm Buster Bodine Veteran Member Joined: 22 Apr 2009 Posts: 234 Curiouser and curiouser! Just because I believe in the old "Kids! Try this at home!" I decided to give this a shot (ptp!) and see what kind of results I got. I taped a quarter to the side of a tissue stuffed saltine box, set it out at 30 yards and took a couple of shots at it with my Gamo. I know the Gamo's running hot straight and normal because the zero data from ChairGun is dead on the money. Trajectory's exactly what it should be for calculated mv with CP 7.9 pellets. The first shot (sorry, no picture) hit on the upper right quad of the target and then "slid" past it to punch on into the box. The second shot hit in the lower right quadrant and punched the coin through the side of the cracker box. Funny, but the pellets didn't even leave a dent in the quarter. Oh, it warped the hell out of it, it'll never feed in a vending machine but after wiping the lead smears off with my thumb, there aren't any visible pellet dings. Certainly nothing like the ones pictured in the post above. That's quite a discrepancy between results, just exactly what kind of mv does this HW30 produce?   Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 5:02 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho i think dubb is crank yankin. your big cat is twice the power of his HW. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......

How pathetic do you have to be to come into a forum and lie about your abilities to people you don't know and will almost certainly never meet? Are you really that insecure? Wierd. Oh, btw, keep deleting images off of photobucket, I can still see the thumbnail image. In fact, I saw you doing the deletions so I saved one for you. Ain't I a prince of a guy? Here ya go, preserved for posterity. BmDubb's lame photo fakery...   Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 8:37 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho no sh!t buster. what's up with that? i didn't think to look further. i have that "i take your word for it" problem. i think the hw30 maxes at 600-650 fps .7.9. it's a paper target rifle.

Well yeah you have a tendancy to take people's word for it, after all, why would anybody go to the trouble of telling the lie? I mean really, do these people sit back and feel some wierd sort of pride knowing there are people out there who believe they can actually perform these fairly unimpressive feats of skill? Don't feel bad, I took it at face value and didn't think anything of it until Al and Eric spoke up. Then I realized I'd never shot at a coin with a pellet gun. (That Gamo's way too heavy and unwieldy for aerial targets!) So, I decided to give it a try and see what happened. I was actually a little surprised at the results so I guess I learned something from this waste-of-space thread so that's a good thing. But still, this "BmDubb" is a very wierd little guy.   Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:15 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho my only thread on an awesome shot which i think you saw was taking the head all the way off a can at 13 yards. i REALLY did it. and it was unintentional. hard as hell to do again. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:20 pm TONBON Veteran Member Joined: 02 Jan 2009 Posts: 468 i saw your pics on that, i'm aiming for the lip on my hanging cans. and hitting. i think i can decap one if i try Snipin' coins     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Target Shooting: Casual, Fun and Competition You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 3   Goto page 1, 2, 3  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
