the most odd gun you own

[Benelli B76]

Not very odd this one but also a home made precharge, the air cylinder made from a Kawasaki motorcycle fork leg hydraulic tube.

Not mine sorry to say but owned by a long time friend of the late Gerald Cardew who also has many of his other oddities and much of Cardews archive of material. Based on a Hawk with experimental gas ram and piston anti-bounce device. Looks like it might have to be shot by remote:

I have one of Gerald Cardews' C.A.R.D. Pellet Spy chronoscopes that I daren't use as I have a bad history with Chrono's (hence the bit of text under my username )

It's a lovely bit of kit and came with the conversion sheets for the readout and pellet weights!!

It is supposed to use a single PP7 or pp9 9v battery but I couldn't get them so I made a lead up to take two PP3 in parallel..

As soon as I made the lead up I sources two PP9 batteries brand new for next to nown at the bootsale!!


Getting back to the original theme, I think the ASI Statical is a little strange as it slides in the stock when you pick it up!!

I acquired a Crosman A.I.R.17 a while ago, that seems almost like a toy as there's so little weight to the thing!!!

Also, The Anschutz mod275 with it's 4.4mm lead ball requirements and six shot mag with the 'Schmeisser' desigened bolt cocking system is a bit out there!! I think you could still buy these new until very recently

Bloody hell- I had one of those as a lad.....and shot the damn thing to pieces.....I must have put 50,000 Marksman pointeds and Copperhead BBs through the thing.

Happy days.

Now the wierdest thing I own is a Gamo Stutzen.....which isn't all that wierd, I think

Me too!...Not terminal, but clean shot through both wires of the skan...In my defence I was using it on top of a chest freezer at the club, and the power socket was lower down on the wall (proper pellet trap behind etc.) and I had not noticed the wires had slipped down, but still embarrassing

The Healthways Topscore 175 BB gun.

The spring & piston are in the grip, you cock it by pulling the barrel up & back. The approx 50 BB's are in the shroud around the barrel & one is loaded when the barrel is closed.
It's not too pretty, made of lots of pot metal castings with little power & indifferent accuracy - but pefect for destroying the Airfix armada at the other end of the bedroom.

I had one of these at a time when I'd started to collect pistols, and surprisingly, this was the most fun to shoot out of all of them.

Webley Twist grip pistol, after 1/2 dozen shots it gives you blisters from twisting the grip to cock it.
