    Beeman dual..double barral air rifle

    Saw one yesterday in a gun shop
    Called a beeman 2016 db (not to be confused with the beeman with interchange barrals)
    One barral in .177 the other in .22
    Uses one piston to fire both barrals which are fired at the same time so you can fire
    .177
    .22
    Both
    Does anyone have one and what use is a rifle firing 2 pellets with difrance of trajectorys and speed.I can't even see the point if they were the same cal. Does dry firing do the gun anygood
    Anyone got one or has anyone shot one

    No but tell us which gunshop it's in so I can go & have a giggle at it! Might have value as a future collectable as I doubt they'll sell many here.

    I'm struggling to think of a more pointless design

    What I find remarkable the barrals are over under but the pellets don't land above each other..
    Then if you use heavy and light pellets
    What a gun for testing pellets the results could be amazing
    How do you sight your scope
    It has a switch you can fire one barral if you wish or both.but as it's a springer will hardly be a fast second shot

    I got to handle one a while back - it's an O/U design, by the way - and I'm still traumatised by the event. A chocolate fire-guard would be more useful. Protek have them in stock...

    The one in Barrygs pic is the one I bought a few months ago.
    In .22
    It's a big tough heavy rifle.
    And it's cheap.

    Devastates tin cans but not much use for anything else.
    Giant rabbits maybe?
    Lobs two pellets at just over 11ft lbs at the same time and they hit 1/2 inch apart vertically.

    You can shoot one barrel but then you get 3 ft lbs.

    Nobody wants to buy one but they like shooting mine.

    Just studied an online ad.,claims of two .22 pellets fired at the same time, does that make it a .44 Harry?
