Ha ha, I see you never had one ! ( Plastic dipped barrel ? )Originally Posted by Rickenbacker
One of the guns I never had back in the day, and I should have kept it that way.
Plastic breech, plastic dipped barrel, plastic toy-gun trigger that gets harder to pull with every pump.
The 10 times click/clack of charging the thing for each shot becomes boring very quickly.
Not usually very accurate to shoot either, due to light weight, all that pumping and the bad trigger.
Worth £40. But cost a lot more when new, and still costs more now.
I grudgingly admit they are quite cool to look at and fondle at home - but that's it.
Not trying to put you off one or anything
I think the pumpers have had their day now, However an Ace Or an Innova or a " Thumber " Sheridan are still much sought after & Relatively expensive,
The Innova trigger does get harder to pull after 5 pumps,( That's 12 Fpe ) & will go on to over 20Fpe ?
Light weight, Recoiless, Etc.
As I get older I myself are not too keen on the pumping , However a couple of pumps are 6 Fpe & Ideal for plinking,
A GREAT gun ( In its day )
I have about 5 left & An Ace, 2 Innovas in Chrome & A couple of Aluminium silencer adapters left,I made a couple of Aluminium breeches about 6 years ago & Have this one left,
Ged.
Pics of the Chrome Innovas & The silencer adapters are in the BBS files somewhere.
