100 feet? Surely that's illegal, unless you tried to gun down a plane...or a passing by terrorist threat or something. You must be exagerating it, even it is just by a smidgens (I refer to a smidgens as about 20 or 30 feet ;D).

If that's correct, that's one b*****d of a gun you've got there.

i got a BB rifle which is about 1m long and fires metal bb's not the plastic cack and i did have an air pistol but i sold it on as it was way to powerful plus my cousin shot someone at tesco with it which seems funny but really it isn't.

stick with the plastic bb's there safer although metal are ok in a sprung loading gun.

my air pistol was a cool it looked a bit like a PPK and fired about 100 feet or more. took rifle pellets as well as metal bb's trouble is the bb's bounce everywhere at that sorta speed, very dangerous.

I had an 8" Colt Python once, very tasty until it shot four rounds all at once.
Desert Eagle's rule as far as bb guns go, they shread cans...etc
But paintball guns are pants, you can't kill squirrels with them unlike a tasty air rifle can, i'd like a night scope but i'd probably trip over anything before shooting it.

Also do you use compressed Poly .20 bbs or the pappy plastic ones?
The compressed ones travel further.

Impressing the lassies is always a good thing, unless there you know, ugly or something.

Anyway speaking off BB guns, yup I used to have one (sold it now) and we did something we shouldn't of done and the police searched us only for some reason they didn't find the gun so did nothing which was stupid because it was tucked into my trousers. Hmmmm hard to find eh.

Was only fun for a bit, bang bang.

Peg guns? Can't say I did

We used to cut down v shaped branches to make into catapults and tape the elastic band to it to make it stronger. We needed a catapult for Drama, so I took to one of me dad's trees with a big saw and made a catapult. It worked pretty well too, considering I hadn't made one for years. And it impressed the lasses in my class that I had managed to make one, which is always a good thing

Ah yes, i remember the days when me and my brother got an elastic band and used that as a weapon. No need for replica BB guns, we just got a elastic band, put it round our thumb and index finger and fired home made paper missiles at people. And they didn't cost anything to make either. Those where the days.
