Shooting: CalibrGun Cricket 5.5mm / .22cal

And shooting continues. Same target as last time No.11 Air rifle target. Airgun is CalibrGun Cricket in 5.5mm / .22cal. Distance is again 10 meters and pellet used on all shots is Daystate Rangemaster 14.3gr/0.93g lead pellet.

Shooting: Gamo Hunter 1250 .177cal

Following previous weeks airgun introductions are followed by shooting. As targets i have No11 air rifle targets and distance about 10m. I would like to shoot also longer distances like 25-, 50-and 100-meters but sadly this is not possible because of the limitations of space. First we'll use GAMO Hunter 1250 .177cal / 4.5mm air rifle.

Haven't shot with gamo for a long time, Scope needed some adjustment.

Air rifle Sam Yang Dragon Claw 12.7mm / .50cal

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.

Air Rifle GAMO Hunter 1250 4.5mm / .177cal

 Gamo hunter 1250 or hunter by short is my first self purchased airgun. It's one of the most powerfull spring powered air rifles on the market. 4.5mm(or .177cal) bullet leaves the barrel at 1250fps and it will break the sound barrier while fyling causing loud bang even after the suppressor in front of the barrel. With hevier bullet you can reduce and even get rid of the sonic boom.

At the front of the barrel with GAMO PRO MAGNUM Penetration-pellets (0.49g / 7.56gr) rifle generates 35.57joules of force. With lighter pellets like for example GAMO LETHAL pellets you get lower force but better penetration.
