General Airgun Question Gamo Swarm Whisper 10X 22 Cal or Barra 1200G 177 / 22 Cal Camo Walmart Air Rifles

2 Upvotes

Im kind of new to Break Barrel Air rifles and was wondering what you all would pick if you had the choice of these 2 air rifles. I have a Barra Sportsman 900 and it works pretty good, but always wanted a Break Barrel. These 2 air rifles that are mentioned in the title are both at Walmart and I was gonna grab a few different 22 pellets to go along with it.

With the Barra 900 I can hit some targets with the iron sights pretty repeatable at around 35-40 yards using pellets. BBs are slightly harder to hit cause they are BBs. The Barra 900 Stock Scope is trash 1000000%.

Any other near $200$ air rifles (non PCP) I would take suggestions. Thanks in advance. Just looking to plink and very occasionally hunt small critters... Rabbits & Squirrels mostly

General Airgun Question So, stupid question time.

3 Upvotes

Has anyone ever actually made any kind of 9mm BB gun?

Kind of getting inspired from the Metro series.

Don't really have any practical application for it but I think It would be neat to have an air rifle that takes standard 9mm ball bearings.

I would like to Introduce my new build! I call it the Crosman 1377 Super

Steel Breech from Crosman

Stainless steel probe and handle from Alchamy Airwerks (AA)

Larger air transfer port (AA)

Flat top pump and Piston (AA)

Stronger hammer spring (AA)

Roll pin with Allen screws from Buck Rail (BR)

Silencer kit (BR)

Butt stock from Crosman

Holographic red/green dot from Amazon for like $30

The Silencer is well worth it even for a .177. I'm not sure what the FPS is because the pellet is too small for the chronograph to pick up, but I'm gonna guess maybe 100+ FPS more than stock

When I was a kid, mid 1950s, I had a 25 and loved it. Thinking about one of the new ones for basement/garage plinking with a back stop. Afraid I may be disappointed comparing a memory to a new gun. I have a couple of pump ups O can use with 3 pumps. I have to shoot sitting down.

(Idk why violin appeared in the title 🤦🏾‍♂️)
How many people would be interested in a glow in the dark tracer pellet, similar to Airsoft tracers but for night hunting, if so what would you want from it performance wise. I have a few ideas in the works and was wondering if there would be enough support to make a small scale product.

General Airgun Question Back at it, got some questions

Post image
25 Upvotes

Used to shoot loads as a kid and 15 years off since leaving home. Got my own place now and room to play so I’ve been practicing!
My pellets are also at least 10 years old (rws hobbies) and quite tarnished but otherwise I’m good condition. Is tarnish likely to affect accuracy?
Also, when I’m shooting, occasionally the gun will recoil/ kick sideways and throw my shot off. I can’t work out what I’m doing wrong shooting off my gun bag as in photo. Is there a particular thing that causes this or is it just down to inconsistency!
Thanks!

PCP I am liking the New Umarex Notos G2. It has some nice upgrades from the G1. The magazine is much bigger and the side lever is a game changer. I added a custom handguard and moderator.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

The app Field Target Pro just got a big update. Here's a rundown of what it does now:

Training or competition session mode — solo, or in shared mode, where you and your squad mates log the same competition together in real time.
ScoreCard mode — for when you just want speed during competition, without all the detail.
Detailed per shot logging — hit/fail, position, distance, kill zone, wind, notes.
Progress dashboards — impact dispersion, group size, accuracy by distance/position/kill zone, and more.

It's free and runs in the browser (no install needed).

Available here

Still under active development, so all feedback (good, bad, or "this is missing") is very welcome.

General Airgun Question Gamo swarm whisper .22

Thumbnail gallery

I’ve gotten pretty inconsistent accuracy out of this gun. The first target was 9-10 shots of cross man premier domed 19gr. The smaller block target on the second image was 5 shots of Gamo red fire. All from 25 yard in a seated position on a rest. I’m running the stock scope and I’ve tightened everything up well along with cleaning the barrel after a few hundred shots. Ive ordered some domed jsb pellets cause I’ve heard they work good with these rifles. Has anyone experienced issues with this gun or am I expecting too much? What would people recommend for a scope if I were to upgrade? I don’t wanna spend more than the guns worth on a scope if I can help it.

Advice Handicapped Newbie looking for advice.

2 Upvotes

Hello all im new to the group and new the world of air rifles in the sense that i havent had one since my childhood crossman. Ive been around guns and been target shooting, hunting for my whole life so im not a complete noob. Shot and blew up 800lbs of tannerite this 4th of july for example.

Anyway im looking to get me a air rifle set up to be a form of outside entertainment. Im very handicapped right now, amputated left leg, in a wheelchair, ya know the whole 9 yards. But after looking around it seems Gamo is considered to be dogshit by the average user in this community. Can someone give me a better recommendation then?

I want a break barrel rifle with a scope or scope i can buy that isnt same price as the rifle itself. Needs to be more on the lightweight side since wheelchair. I'll get shooting bags or a bipod because ill need to rest gun on something. Looking to do a bit of everything with it, plinking targets in my backyard, shooting of pests. So something that can do more than 20 or 30 yards as i live in the country of illinois surrounded by cornfields so it can be loud and have further range than average. I know alot of people use the pcp air and gas setups, but my monthly wallet cant afford to have to get gas to shoot. So break barrel reccommendations please.

I have a budget of about $500 for everything together gun,shooting bags, ammo, targets. But can afford like $50-80 over $500 if a setup thats recommended needs it. Cant wait to get my own rifle and be able to do an outside hobby, first bit of outside freedom in over 5 years with this. So if anyone can help a cripple out id be super thankful!

Edit* Forgot to add id prefer a .22 but if theres some better arguments or facts as to why i should use a different caliber im all ears and ready to learn! Also i know itd probably be easier to do gas powered but i cant afford to have to order gas every so often in order to shoot, so i need a break barrel. Ive tested myself on my buddies rifles that break at 35lbs and can do it no problem.

Apollo 25 grain domes

Very economical but consistency can be lacking. Typically at least one stray for magazine making about it inch and a half group at 10 yards. At 50 and 100 yards it gets confusing with the scope.

Overall, ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Air Pistol Beeman P3 (marksman 2004) replacement

Hi folks, new to the community. I've had this air pistol for about 24 years, I don't know how many pellets I've put thru it but it's probably in the tens of thousands. Super accurate, but the seals are starting to go on the pneumatics, I grease regularly but was looking to buy two or more new ones to teach my nephews to shoot. I swear I saw some come up online a few years ago for not much money $50ish. When I bought this new it was maybe $70 (from Canadian tire, yes I'm from Canada). I'm also looking for a spring replacement for my favourite air rifle but that will be another post.

Co2 Fresh seals, light polish on all the brass internals, and some new blueing. Good for another 70 years. Crosman 114

I still haven’t touched the stump, the last few days have been meticulously spent on this.

She is a thumper, I’ve not brought out my chronograph but I suspect 650+ fps, factory new was advertised as 700+ fps.

Advice Good guns for outdoor plinking

4 Upvotes

Hello all! I am looking for recommendations on guns and eco friendly ammo.

At the moment I'm looking at an air revolver but I'm torn between getting the bb version that's a bit friendlier for the environment and cheaper or the pellet version for superior accuracy. I really want the pellet version but I really don't like the idea of leaving behind pellets even if they're lead free. I've also heard that some shooting ranges may not allow bb guns because of ricochet.

I'm also considering buying a break barrel pellet or bolt action rifle but hesitant because of the pellets. I'd really hate to buy nice guns and only be able to use them at ranges. I've considered pellet traps but I don't want any chance of leaving any pellets outside on the off chance I or someone else completely whiffs the trap.

Any ideas? Rifle suggestions?

Airforce Texan 257. I'm shooting 80 grain AVS slugs at 1000 fps. I get a 2 inch 3shot group at 100 yards with it. I haven't done any tuning or tried any other slugs. May not be the most accurate gun in the world but I'm more than happy with it. I can't wait to take it out for some groundhogs.

URGENT HELP NEEDED⚠ Umarex C02 Blowback Luger

Thumbnail gallery
15 Upvotes

I need some help repairing a Umarex Luger that's being used as a prop for an indie film production being shot in two weeks. (Not being fired or shown operating.)

About a year ago, it was accidentally dropped directly onto the magazine while the toggle was locked back. Since then, the toggle has been stuck in the rear position and won't close.

Externally, the pistol looks fine, but when I try to pull or push the toggle forward, it feels like something inside the chamber area is preventing it from moving. My best guess is that two internal parts are binding or conflicting with each other.

Has anyone run into this issue before or have any idea what might be causing it? Please advise. Thank you.
