I have a 13 year old BSA Meteor .22 that couldn't hit a barn door and failed to kill a pigeon at 20 yards once (or we have particularly tough pigeons) so i am in the market for something better. So far i've narrowed it down to an Air Arms S410 or a BSA Gold Star SE for PCP or perhaps just a decent spring/gas ram gun instead.

How is the TX200HC?

>How is the TX200HC?


heavy. Not actually an issue (you want some extra weight on an air rifle, especially a springer), but you really feel the 5 kilograms with scope (more or less) this thing weighs.

It's really sweet to shoot though. Pic related (lower left target, one shot, dead center) is me checking my zero today at 20m.

It was slightly windy today, but best I can figure (until I sit down and do it properly), there's a 1 mil-dot holdover at 30m, and 4.25 mil-dot at 50m, secondary zero is somwhere near 28m (primary at 20) with 15.89 grain pellets.

By comparison, a s400/410 (410 is just a 400 with a magazine that gets in the way of a large SF wheel) has a 1.5 mil-dot holdover at 50m (primary zero at 25), but that's .177 for you.

picture is sideways. This is a 1mm thick steel dinger that the .22 pellet put a visible dent in at 50m (flight time maybe 0.5-0.75 seconds).

What else can I say - it's a world championship winning gun in HFT2.

Maybe try cast bullets. The FMJs may not engage the rifling properly and the bullets are tumbling

>>31658834
This. Check your target for keyholing.

It's called a magnifier you dumb fuck

Don't expect much from a guy who scored a 36 on his asvab.

Twice, before improving it to 50.

Can't believe I was stupid enough to actually ask a gun related question here.

>>31658106
The russian dude was drunk and labeled the 9 upside down.

Such is life.

>1. Why is the 7.62x39mm cartrdige called "7.62" when it's bullet diameter is actually 7.92mm

Russians measure caliber differently. Might be from between lands instead of grooves or something, can't remember.

>2. Why is weight of a bullet measured in "grains" rather than in grams like everything else?

Tradition, and because within the firearms industry it's already standardized the world over so it would be pointless to change it.

Get yourself a shield or a glock 26 and continue on with your life.

Did you have a hard-on from shooting a Mak in the nude?

Oh boy, this thread is gonna be 100+ posts from people who don't understand combined arms.

>100+ posts from people who don't understand combined arms
Apparently you don't either. Combined arms doesn't mean paratrooper vs leg infantry you fucking retard. The qualifications of the infantry have no meaning in the "combine arms" sense.

Fucking idiot kys

Was it not developed for military supply boxes?

>During World War II, Revolite (then a division of Johnson & Johnson) developed an adhesive tape made from a rubber-based adhesive applied to a durable duck cloth backing. This tape resisted water and was used as sealing tape on some ammunition cases during that period.

So it was. I apologize.

But would you really use it on a 30mm autocannon?

>>31657094
To hold a cord in place?

Why the fuck not? What other kind of tape are you going to fucking use?

... Uh, Glocks have two safeties. They don't have a manual safety because they're meant for a duty belt and manual safeties have gotten cops killed in the heat of the moment.

I feel your pain anons.

>>31656090
Are you me?

Wow, really says it all doesn't it when a newspaper has an official "view". Also the (noticeably smaller) article by the sheriff actually includes facts and examples and is far better written.

Also
>muh big money
>muh twisted logic
>muh political clout
Fuckin kek, cuz Bloomberg is neither big money nor political clout and their "logic" includes using a mass shooting where the shooter bought his gun at a gunstore with a background check as a reason why we need background checks.

>>31656129
be amazed that they bothered to ask for an opposing viewpoint at all

I read something interesting by that skype Tim Wise today talking about how the far left need to have contingency plans for what to do when whites fight back and start shooting.

No not really. Europe suckles from the golden tit that is the American armed forces and without us they would fall except England of course.

I hate my job, I work with my ex, and going to remove slav sounds like a jolly good time

or we get nuked and I have more interesting shit to be heartbroken about

either way, I win
