    Toughest airgun ever made?

    What's the toughest, most reliable airgun ever made?

    If you needed a gun which would fire tens of thousands or shots without maintenance and also double as a cricket bat what would you choose?

    Cheers, Matt

    Not if you compared it to a Huntsman, that's the PCP equivalent of a club.

    I would have to agree with kevg mk1 rapid

    mine has been scratched dinked dropped down holes, used it to fight off a swarm of angry wasps whilst sitting in a holly bush

    but with every dink it gets it seems to get a little bit sweeter

    Edited for spelling ( as usual)

    Why not?

    Because reliability isnt my ultimate goal, i want something that shoots well out of the box and looks good as well , this is where the Tx200 comes in for me.
    Most things are a compromise in life, but i would take a Hw80 if i was going to be stuck on an island for a long time
