Walther CP99 - Bug_out_Bag - 10 September 2012
RE: Walther CP99 - NorthernRaider - 10 September 2012
Honestly they are pretty darn worthless, they are limited to 6 ft pounds of energy, by comparison a decent sling shot firing 38 calbre ball beeing is much more effective, a bb or air pellet weighs next to nothing and requires great speed to be effective, but 6 ft pound generates very little speed, but look at the 38 cal steel BB from a slingshot you can get over 200 fps ( check with nemesis) at it weights 10 grams.

Thanks NR, Perhaps this is not for me then! I have a catapult and BB ammo which works very well. I'd quite like a higher power than 6 ft lb in a pistol! thanks again!

buy yourself a cheap air rifle - saw the barrel down and the stock.

you might find that cutting an air rifle down is illegal , an air pistol can only legally be 6 foot pounds energy with out a fac

It depends what you want it for
When it comes to indimidating (perhaps stop an advancing mob)
a 'gun' is scary
a 'slingshot' is a toy
(even in this case where the shingshot is actually more of a threat)

Yes, it is illegal. This was purely suggested for PSHTF
