    What co2 gun

    Hi,
    I want to buy a CO2 pistol and i cant decide witch one. I will be using it for fun, like breaking beer bottles or shooting to the cans from 10 meters.
    So which one would best suit my requirements?
    HK P30
    Berreta Elite II
    Crosman C31

    or any other you recommend BBs or pellet pistol?

    Thanks

    Nothing wrong with using multiple forums: the more info, the merrier.

    But then, remember also the saying about the paralysis of analysis...

    Something odd going on here. On the UBC exactly the same question was asked, the final reply was that he was getting a Daystate Air Ranger .22

    http://umarexboysclubforum.myfinefor...tml&highlight=

    He said he was from Liverpool but his IP showed it was in Ireland. His reply was that he was visiting there. Then the same post appears here

    http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/show...=466580&page=2

    Finally if he lives in Liverpool, but now says he lives in Limerick how come he has to ask us about Irish air gun laws?

    Am I being paranoid or do I smell troll

    Hey Melegor: do you live under a bridge, or not?

    well, it's very easy ... The UMAREX forums this is my friend who came for a visit . He asked about the pistol, and then he decided to buy Daystate. But id like to buy gun and pistol as well.. I found this forum and it looks better then umarex one, so I ask here...
    1,000 people, 1000 different opinions and not everyone attended all the forums like some of u.. And since I live in Ireland and not in England so I also asked what the gun law here, because really do not know ...
    Is it wrong to ask? If so, then im sorry ..

    I just wanted advice... thats all

    I've got a Beretta PX4 CO2 pistol that shoots both .177 pellets and metal bb's quite well.

    All metal construction, blowback, a good grip, runs to @50 shots on one canister, and has 2 x 8 shot magazines. You eject the mag, turn it around 180 degrees and slap it back in.

    Video of it in action

    Works a treat for me.

    Don't apologize: you didn't do anything wrong.

    The problem of too much advice, though...that's one you can't get around. Probably the best thing would be to go to an air gun shop. You can at least handle, maybe shoot, a medley of pistols there. Or, come to our next UBC shoot.

    3rd July at Birstall, Leicester, so not too far from you

    For what you want it for , Id say a walther cp88 could be a good place to start in .177 pellet.

    Good fun, good quality and good value.

    And if you get the "comp" version with the 6" barrel, it'll have more power too!

    Out of the the 3 you are asking about i would personally go for the P30, Rotary pelley mag or bb's in the drop out co2 holder, and it feels great in the hand a little heavier than it looks but well balanced.
    Fancy shooting your air pistols & rifles a bit more, then guy's & gal's come visit us at the
    UBC for loads of fun competitions for all types of air pistols and rifles.
