So maybe the fact that young people can still get their hands on airguns now (and a lot more 'interesting' CO2 ones than were available in my youth) means that in 30 years or so there will still be an urge to recreate that feeling of having a gun in your hands! Except that maybe by then only 'vintage' airguns will be available. But by then this might be pre-1980...
