Your Daisy and Crosman are no match. Crosman has made some pretty decent airguns, but no air pistol I've heard of will put out that kind of horsepower. Joe, did you realize that 250gr at 900fps is more muzzle energy than standard rounds coming out of a .45 ACP? I've always wanted one of those semi custom Emglish match air rifles myself, that would be lots of fun at anchorages. DSK |

I've always wanted one of those semi custom Emglish match air rifles myself, that would be lots of fun at anchorages. DSK I have the RWS models 48 and 35. The 48 is in .22 cal (900 fps) and the 35 is in .177 cal (1100fps). I've killed dozens of crows with the 35 on just one shot. The 48 takes several shots. They are both very accurate. I also have the Crosman 760, 1400, pump air pistol CO2 semi auto rifle. I won't own a Daisy, they are crap. The best air gun I have besides the RWS's is a Tippmann A-5 ( .68 cal) with the electronic trigger set, stock barrel, 21 inch straight rifled barrel and the backspin inducing flatline barrel. Besides paintballs, you can load it up with marbles (400 fps!) to do some real damage. The projectiles are pushed out with a piston, not air, so the barrel/projectile fit isn't critical. With paintballs alone on full auto you can easily cut a rabbit or squirrel in two. The range is over 100 yards so it would be fun at anchorages. It is noisy though. Here's the Tippmann: http://www.tippmann.com/product_guid...x?productId=22 Look into a good paintball gun for your trawler adventures. If your hook it up to your propane tank with no regulator you can get paintballs and flame! Just cycling it with paintballs on flame mode would definitely clear out an anchorage. Good for lighting the BBQ too! |
