IIRC the RWS Barracuda was developed for the HW35 Barracuda - the one with the ether (or similar) fuel injected directly into the cylinder. This was because it blew the heads off normal pellets.

Nothing to do with shooting, but my late Grandmother god bless her once said!
"That's as yellow as an orange"
Splitting in half? That is clearly because he was shooting at taught piano wire at 50 yards. No doubt standing as well.
Time for another Mr Doe challenge?

Sorry its not shooting related but its possibly the greatest bullxxxt quote I have ever heard.
I asked someone if they were familiar with a river about 70 miles away and they said yes they remember someone catching a sword fish there. I was then told that a local pet shop would order fish in bulk and discard various unwanted fish in to the river.
I used to know a guy that made loads of crazy claims. We called him cable guy. He told me once that he grew up in Jamaica and used to play football with ziggy Marley.
He also told me his mates brakes failed and he crashed underneath a lorry at a roundabout. 2 minutes later, he told me the exact same story except replacing his mate with himself. I questioned the authenticity of the story and he said, oh yeah, it happened to me as well!

a friend of a friends mate used to replace the main spring in his Air rifles for clutch springs and it then had more power than a bullet gun .
He said it was very hard to cock and took two people to cock it .
The police took it off them when they got caught shooting through both sides of a car that was behind their target .
He was deadly serious about it too.
He was a blowhard about many things .
