Sub .177 Calibre

[petroc]

Is there one?
If there was would it be popular?
If this has been discussed, has it been done to death?
If it has,, just tell me nicely.

Some years ago there were some 4mm air rifles available from the far east... dont know very much about them other than they existed...

cheers tony
i thought maybe that sort of calibre would have a future with airguns 1,000 ft/s could be fun!

No no Petroc, very good question indeed. Mind you think of the variables.....wind affected.....penetration...effective range (both ft and hunting (shrews).

[petroc]

some numbers...
1017 ft/s
21yd zero
5 grain pellet
2" drop @ 50 yds
5.5 ft/lbs retained energy.

I have enough trouble handling girlie .177 pellets anything smaller would be too small to handle.
