Wait are you telling me in America they let kids shoot guns at school??? Or do you just drive down to the local school to shoot things like I do because it has a nice big oval?ALIHISGREAT wrote:who was that directed at? i shoot at school, mostly .22 rifles.
If so you should have an idea about ballistics and projectile drop and know that a 2 gram rimfire bullet travelling at over 1,000 feet per second cannot be compared to a BB with a comparatively poor ballistic coefficient travelling at a significantly lower velocity.who was that directed at? i shoot at school, mostly .22 rifles.

well i will hop-up my bb so there will be less projectile drop...If so you should have an idea about ballistics and projectile drop and know that a 2 gram rimfire bullet travelling at over 1,000 feet per second cannot be compared to a BB with a comparatively poor ballistic coefficient travelling at a significantly lower velocity.
I must say thats quite astounding to me, I'm not saying its bad or anything, I just can't believe they teach that kind of thing in schools, I would love to have done something like that at school. Personally, I along with maybe 95% of Australians have never shot a real gun, maybe due to the firearms laws over here.Pete Zaria wrote:Sorry to be so off-topic, but I thought I'd answer the question....
Some schools in the US have a rifle team, which practices and competes at the local shooting range. My high school in rural Washington had such a program. The guns were not allowed to be kept on campus at any time, and if I recall correctly, it was .22LR rifles only.

I think you're slightly overestimating the benefits of hop-up. You can't really judge accuracy by airsoft standards, because in airsoft all you need to do is hit a person, that sort of accuracy is not enough for plinking against your average targets like cans and beer bottles, and even if the BB does hit, it would have lost so much velocity getting to the target that the effects (unless you're shooting paper targets) would be minimal. Also, if your hop-up is going to be unadjustable, it will probably make accuracy worse, not better - unless the upwards thrust to the BB is given at 90 degrees to the horizontal and you're not holding the rifle along the same line, the BB is going to veer off sideways in an unpredictable manner.well i will hop-up my bb so there will be less projectile drop...

and if i can hit a person sized target (not a person though) with a .43g bb at ~100 yards i will be super happy 
but it all depends on the quality of my barrel etc. but it all looks pretty good. With my 1,200 GBP air rifle setup I can hit an A4 paper at 120 yardsi can hit a person sized target (not a person though) with a .43g bb at ~100 yards

I used to have a 12 ft/lbs Air Arms S410 (see attachment), beautiful and accurate but a bit low powered for my liking as well as being light and dainty so I sold it. I've shot a 410 ERB, it's a very good bit of kit but too long for my tastes, I prefer my Mk.3Necrosis wrote:In fact I have that same airgun with in fact the same pellets.
