    Just FYI; 1,200 psi of air will generate far more power than 1,200psi of CO2 - hence the animals being shot at might survive better than the lump of pine

    Very interesting post, thanks for sharing...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Yes, that piece of wood really wasn't very tranquil by any measure.

    Hi Alistair
    Tried PM'ing a reply to earlier discourse - but your inbox is full.
    I think I'm going to have to decline at this stage given recent spending and 'er indoors has eyes on a new bathroom suite.
    Thank you most kindly for remembering me though...
    Cheers
    Harvey

    Indeed, lower densities and all that... one is inclined to crank things up to eleven

    Honestly if it wasn't older than I am it would have made a great big-bore conversion with a higher flow valve but I can't bring myself to chop it up.
