[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 385717, member: 13090"] I'm a long time rifle/pistol shooter from the Midwest and I'm very familiar with BB-guns, pellet rifles and so forth. In fact I cut my teeth stalking prairie dogs with Crossman 870 (and actually managing to take a few out) before my dad gave me my first Remington .22LR bolt-action for the very "serious business" of eliminating a particularly pernicious badger at age 12. I used the particularly generous "800 feet per second" knowing it was generous but figured someone would come along and bring up pellet rifles which are indeed much more powerful. I would know, I've shot both rifles and pistols competitively most of my life. For the very brief period I shot air my Beeman would put .177's out the muzzle at roughly 1100 FPS. I was using 800 FPS as a broad brush is all, not wanting to bog down my argument with too much detail; as I'm probably doing now. All that being said, I was soft-pedaling my opinion in my previous post but, since we're taking the gloves off, yes... I agree with your assessment completely: The claims they make are blatantly misleading, gross overstatements and not by any mistake whatsoever. [COLOR=#FFFFFF]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
