    Hey, Pauly!

    That could be it! A film to put the humble little airgun in the spotlight......

    It could be a Shaun of the Dead type of affair, with mutant rats running amok, killing and eating all and sundry and crapping everywhere!

    And the heroes, armed with airguns, save the entire nation.

    Could be a massive, massive marketing platform for the gun and pellet producers. And we could have detailed gory slow-mos of a hollowpoint mashing up Roland's grey matter.

    I've even thought of a name......

    "Ray of The Rats".

    And, those desolate few survivors who fight and boing their way through the Mutant Rats with their 77s, 99s, 30s, Tempests etc. Etc. Are all fighting and working their way stealthily to the 'Safe Land' that is in the centre of England - Quigley Hollow where peace and harmony will be found. A Sanctuary ! 300 springer warriors set out and only 3 make it You Tone, me, and Debbie Harry. Put the kettle on Tone and don't be knocking on my tent coz I've got more pellets than you

    Nah, nah, nah, slightly off, Pauly.

    As we make it to Quigley Hollow, all the Boingermen will have survived and will have made it. And their weapon of choice?

    There could only ever be one truly bomb-proof post-apocalyptic rifle....the HW80.

    And whilst you will be nursing the sagging Debbie Harry, Megan Fox will be polishing my piston!

    And you tried to tell me the 99s was best ! you were just trying to fool me into getting killed in the Roland Apocalypse ya Bugger. And, my Debbie don't "sag", we've both grown gracefully together I accept yor edit that all Boingermen make it but that wouldn't make the best film ! and I've got a 4 man/woman tent so Debbie, Megan and Sandra Bullock will reside safely with me in the comfort that my HW100KT PCP will keep them safe from harm from The Mutant Roland's . I could take 14 of 'em out before you even lube your first pellet

    Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated! I would like to have an epic tale of how I battled the monster rat but I have have waited for him twice now and it has been a no show. My neighbour has even been on a watch for him - he has an old FWB....not sure what model and he too has not seen him.

    I swear he is a RAT SAS member....chocolate spread always gone but we now never see him. All I think I have achieved is bulk him up with free chocolate!

    By the way if we were to make a film of this I would have to have Tom Cruise or the Rock to play my role....
