No, not that old. They were introduced around 1985.
I still have the .22 one I got for a Christmas present from my Dad in 1986.
Despite regular use it is still knocking out Superdomes at around 400 fps.
Early ones only had dual power setting on the .177 version.
People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.
