Really? A pcp that "produces" its own air?? Remarkable. :roll:

Got a link?

I've seen on-board pumps but a synthetic air generator, wow!

:roll: :D

My standard Daystate Mk.3 can be filled to 3500 psi, and can also fire 30 grain 22LR bullets ;)

I think he's talking about a home built condor named the "Vulture" by its builder. Barrels from .177" through .458". 466fpe with 420grain @750fps.

Shoots 10.5gr (.177)Kodiaks @ a shade over 1400fps. Claims the light weight .177's are going 1577fps. :shock: Walter has a long history (30yrs) of building pcps, so I'll reserve judgement on that claim.

Daystate ... indeed. :o :lol:

Very nice Jack...you'd better save some pennys (Maybe make that dollars.) and get that Whiscombe to keep it company. :)

Euros actually ;) to be honest these days I have better things to throw my disposable income at, I'd rather travel than have a lot of rifles which I polish/cuddle frequently but rarely get the chance to use properly. I'm happy enough with my collection as it is :)

Don't fight the addiction Jack, that only makes it worse. :)

The rifle on the bottom looks interesting. A pistol with some attached goodies?

Pretty much.

The forend is basically a hollow extension (which I turned into a suppressor :D) while the rear stock has a cool little periscopic sight that lets you look down the pistol's original iron sights. Fun little plinker :) and with the forend on and pistol grip you get that bad-ass sawn off shotgun feel hehe

Hahaha, so just where exactly did they end up?
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.
