Sam YangDragon Claw. Second airgun i've purchased and my first
PCP-gun.(PCP = Pre Charged Pneumatic) Because who would always want to
shoot small .177/.22cal bullets when you can just as well shoot some
.50cal bullets. And it's true. Really half inch or 12.7mm diameter
bullets, leaving from the barrel of an air rifle over 200m/s or 680fps
doing over 300 joules of force at the barrel. This is comparable to .22
rimfire rifles, though they have smaller bullet size with same force
they have better penetration.
These Big Bore airrifles
have smallish userbase since bullets are not cheap, 0.5-1€ each and the
airgun itself is nearly 900€ in finland. In finland they are used mostly
for plinking and shooting siluets 25, 50, 75 and 100m/yard of distance.
On
Youtube
you can find videos of such siluet shooting. Outside finland they are
used also for hunting for example wild boars. In finland you need a
permission to purchase / own the airgun.
