I recently wanted something cheap to shoot and as close to the real thing as I could get. (Exact clones)


Select fire Broomhandle
Legends M712 Full-Auto CO2 BB Gun Kit, Full Metal. Air guns


I purchased a Broomhandle, Winchester m14, 1911, Luger, etc. let the fun begin. Any of you guys into air guns?

Love it! I want one!

What he said!

All metal on the full auto Broomhandle, there are two Lugers also the higher priced one is all metal.Search Results

I purchased a shoulder holster which needs to be softened up, a shoulder stock too from amazon. That needs to be fitted to the gun. A little filing. I don't have to drop $3k to enjoy a Broomhandle. I can shoot in my backyard with everyone. Another cool hobbie.

I have a Daisy pellet rifle (pump type, not CO2). But I hardly ever shoot it.




--------

I'm old school...1960's vintage Benjamin pellet rifles in excellent
condition. All have been re-sealed and are accurate and fun to
shoot.

Home defense? Also a small game getter. Birds, squirrels, etc.

I shoot an RWS Diana 34 in .177 cal.
An absolute blast to shoot, more accurate than I can shoot and the pellets are cheap! The rifle is $250-$300 but well worth it. I can shoot in my backyard without disturbing neighbors and really enjoy myself.

I'd just like to have a nice pellet air rifle. Serious fun. Good accuracy, range and a big smack.

I shoot my 2 air/pellet pistols almost every day, in my basement. They are a GAMO Compact (now called a Air Venturi V10), and a Crosman P1377 American Classic. Both are very accurate, and the Crosman is only around $60.. Great way to improve the scores with your "real" guns, and far more fun than "dry firing".

Quality airguns are great training tools! I have a Weihrauch/Beeman HW35, Feinwerkbau 300Ses, Walther LP53, FWB 65 and FWB80 and a chinese AK trainer with a 10 round magaziine - among others.

First is an Anschutz 175 repeater for No.9 (4.4 mm) lead ball.






While quality airguns aren't cheap, they saved me a lot of driving and gun cleaning time and ammo is inexpensive, too. The lead recovered from the traps will be moulded into muzzle loader bullets.

I have various cheaper pump/lever air rifles for messing around with my kids, and I have an old Crosman Mk I .22 for getting rid of pests around the yard.



I saw a really cool looking mini Uzi a year or so ago that followed me home from the store. A CO2 cartridge only lasts 25 rounds when you flip the fun switch on but its really fun as it actually fires from an open bolt and and "recoils." Cheap thrills but I can't own a real one.

Wow!! I just gotta have one of those Schnellfeuers; that's much too much fun not to. I imagine that when shot semi automatic (not nearly as much fun) they're more than respectably accurate.

My only two are a Feinwerkbau 300 air rifle and a 65 pistol. They're strictly target guns, and are unbelievably accurate. If I shot them regularly, I'd be a much better shot than I am. They were made in the 70s and I doubt they've had new seals installed but they're surprisingly powerful. I thought of plinking the feral cats that often leave dove feathers and body parts all over my lawn, but I abandoned that idea when I found my rifle would shot through 8 thicknesses of corrugated cardboard when shot across the yard, about 35 yards.

Although not a competition or premo gun, I used to shoot the living snot out of my GS1000. Fixed with an inexpensive BSA scope it was great fun.
Held groups tight enough to bring to the surface my breathing or trigger pull problems. Pretty dang good looking too.

Matter of fact, I might take it out, see what I can do to the trigger.

The main seal is a steel piston ring, much like on a car engine. The FWB 300S/65 are marvels of German engineering; they are over engineered and last for a very long time.

You got two of the highest quality airguns out there and yours look like in excellent condition. I shot mine a lot. They are not powerful but accurate.

I have 3 pellet rifles at the moment;

1978 Feinwerkbau 124 Sport .177 cal

Diana 34 .22 cal

Benjamin NP XL 1100 in .22 cal that I'm going to convert to .25 cal.

Just sold my Diana LP 8 .177.

All are capable of 1/2" groups @ 35 yds. The FWB is a great rabbit gun, the D34 is good for rabbits, possums, etc. and the Benjamin will take coyotes with no problem. I love pellet rifles as they are cheap to shoot and can be shot indoors or out.

I got the broomhandle full auto from the wife and son last year (2015) for Christmas... it is as much fun as it looks, way more fun than you thought was possible... I have collected air guns since I was a little guy... and have amassed quite a few "look alikes"... best one is the Umarex broomhandle... worst one is the "winchester M-14"...

Wow those are nice.

I wouldn't use this for any game. A 5.1 gr BB @ 330 fps only has 1.43 fpe, not enough to humainly kill a squirrel. Maybe a small bird but not a pigeon or average size bird. These guns are made for target shooting only.

I have several co2 & break barrel rifles & pistols. Nothing high end. I have one 1911 BB gun that is so realistic that real 1911 magazines will fit in it.

Thanks, Andyd; I sure like mine. I'd be a better shot if I shot them more. They may not be powerful, bu they sure chew up a backstop pretty fast. I think it would really sting to get hit with one, and I wouldn't want to shoot one at a small animal I didn't want to kill. I got mine, 1970s vintage as near as I can tell, about a year apart at Ron Peterson's in Albuquerque: about $300 each.

That was a steal! In 1981 MSRP for a FWB 300S was $760-824. A new blued Colt Single Action Army Revolver was $399 at the time.

My son uses the Feinwerkbau 65 pistol to shoot rats and the bullet passes through.

When I shot my airguns on a daily basis I shot over 90% with offhand rimfire rifle and centerfire handgun, they are really excellent training tools! Soft airguns are great to improve timing and target aqcuisition for action shooting.

We had an old pump pistol pellet gun in the 50's. The piston ring broke. So I installed a faucet washer and she pumped up fine. My older brother shot it thru a solid oak door at school. The crazy things we do as kids. I purchased a new pellet pump pistol, I just had to have one again.

I just picked up the Winchester m14. Need to shoot it.

Airguns are fun and afford lots of practice for just pennies. But they are also capable guns and hold their own in competition. I have had several, but currently have only a IZH 46M .177 pistol.

The IZH is capable of Olympic grade accuracy at an entry level.It is capable of perfect scores, (too bad I'm not).

bought mine when they first came out... I only shot mine once... felt cheap, not the greatest trigger... went thru a lot of CO2 trying to get them to open fully and/or seal completely... when it worked it was fine and pretty accurate... just not worth the time and effort to get that one set of cartridges to work... put it back in the box and back in the closet... hopefully yours is different...

RWS 48 and 34 for me takes care of any backyard unwanted critters

I just sent away for the Colt Peacemaker and Walther PPQ models. I figure it's cheaper than buying a suppressor and I can shoot in my garage and even practice holster drills with the PPQ.

Right on. The road to my outdoor range is closed for winter. The indoor range is an hour away. Shooting Airguns in the garage for a couple of months is a good way to have some fun in the mean time.

I got the Walther in the mail today and all I can say is, wow. It is about as close a clone to the actual as I can imagine. The weight is about the same, although the balance is different. The grip is exactly the same. The trigger is a bit different, but similar. And the dimensions are almost the same. I'm going to have fun with this.
