I'd think that would be OK. It falls under AG's in many respects.
If you check out the SMG 22? It is a Tippmann paintball gun with design changes.
It uses the same fittings and stuff to hook in whatever you use as the propellent.
CO2, HPA, Nitrogen.

There's also propane powered Airsoft guns out there.

So for hunting the North American piece of paper, would you recommend .22 or .17?

I have been dreaming of getting a nice target air pistol for years. Sounds like a nice hobby.

For just plinking paper and the odd can or 2?
The .177 is plenty.
Flatter trajectory then the .22 but less take down power if you plan on any 'critter control'.

The Crosman pumps are a deal at under $70.00 new.
Do the Amazon bit here and Neal gets a cut also.
I did that for the 1322 and the SMG 22.

You need a license here to own one and anyone who is found with one that's not licensed faces the same penalties as if they were an unlicensed firearm.

Fired a few .22's and BB's years ago when laws were a lot laxer.

Good to know Nancy is keeping an eye on your fire zone.

Grant,
Are AG's regulated like in 'Jimbuna Land'?

As long as they are under a set limit no license is needed?

Ah. Never mind. I checked and see you all can't even have one without a license.

If I get the job I applied for, I'm gonna buy this one:

Weihrauch HW-45
(In the US, Weihrauch is known as Beeman)

One of the strongest and most expensive PCA (dunno of you use this abbreviation anywhere outside Poland...it stands for pre-charged compressed air).
In Poland you don't need a license if the gun's power is below 17 Joules.
This one is around 9-10 depending on the pellets used, so it's pretty strong as for pistols.

I posted as much just above yours ya daft bugger. Back in the day you didn't have to get a license but you do now.

I haven't touched any of my paintball stuff since last year.

I got me a hammerhead sharktooth a few years ago!
Holy smurf that thing is mean!

Does that go on a Tippmann?

Here's my SMG-22 which is made by Tippmann.

I've got a Ninja Carbon Fiber 90ci remote tank running 4500 PSI through a regulator on a micro bore hose.
A back mounted pack can hold over 1000 rounds running through a custom feed to replace the 100 round drum.

If you wonder why?
It's because I can!

Traded my less then year old Crosman 1322

For a Beeman Silver Kodiak dual caliber rifle.

It needs some small amount of work but that doubles my investment and I hated the 1322!

nikimcbee · 03-18-14, 05:40 PM

I have my Tippmann A-5, it's a bad mutha in full auto mode.

The Tippmann A-5 is a wicked piece of equipment!
I'm convinced the SMG-22 is an off spring of that and the 98 custom.

Not an airgun or paintball gun as such - but here's my new work horse for the farm.. annnnnd maybe for showing off at club

Kimber 8400 - mines sighted though. - you have no idea how long it took to get this purchase past the missus.

Really wish we had access to the rifles you guys do in the states..
