do i NEED 2 air rifles ? ? ?

I'd stick with 2 air rifles and slowly build up other stuff.

The OH might not steal it, but you might need to have someone else use it.

Bolts can wait. You can always make them via homebase and stuff Beardy sells. But 2 air rifles is well worth having.

Imagine this....You shoot your target with a crossbow. You can go and get your bolt back, most the time. So don't worry too much about it. If a bolt breaks, that's okay, odds are you'll be using your air rifle as a primary projectile device anyway, and the crossbow as a backup. So why not hold to your primary and back it up with itself.
