Scorpion kills spider

[gingernut]

Just shot massive spider with my .22 Scorpion and a cleaning pellet.
Funny how wife and daughters suddenly approve of air pistols.

Tell me you mean a PCP rifle
Cleaning pellets in springers should have a pellet behind them,

Your first thought is for the gun Nick- I like that.
I have had the Scorpion - pistol, since I bought it new in 1973 for £17 6shillings.
I hate to think how I abused it in my younger days!
I imagine it will shrug off this emergency action!

They have robust internals and will definitely shrug off some abuse, I use an SSP with a corner torn off some kitchen roll to despatch unwanted 6 & 8 legged wildlife in the house - my wife actually encourages me
You can make papier-mache pellets using umarex 8 shot mags as moulds to compress them into, push them back slightly from the front & you're good to go - House Fly Action Shooting anyone?

Off to make papier-mache pellets for the Colt.
I will need 8 spiders though.
On your previous spelling post. How would they spell papier-mache in general airgun?

Crikey mate, don't ask, probably best to ask how they'd stop spelling it
Nice one!
