questions about air guns

Post by bunkerguy »

I take it the NFA cant touch them?

so if you wanted to make a full auto, suppressed air gun it would be legal to do so?

Do any one make a full auto suppressed air gun that can take a man from say 500 yards out?

would you ever use a really high powered air gun for self defense?

any mechanical reason why no one has done this?

To do what you ask a f/a 500 yard airgun you would need a industrial compressor hooked to it. Having one of those running and attached to ur belt loop while trying to gain a defensive position would be futile. Other then that now sure why nobody has done it.

.223 cant reliably take a man at 500 and you are asking about an airgun?

Really bunkerguy? Nice to see you make the transition from NfATalk over here.

hits at 300 yards http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/hunting ... -shooting/

I'm sure there are people out there working on it but the practicality of the amount of air you'd have to carry around would likely prevent more than one or two shots at a range like 500 yards
