It does look cool.

I think the attraction is what the thing is - a giant springer that can shoot through a car door. A pointless piece of kit but impressive anyway. In the USA they sold tens of thousands of 0.458 Winchester Magnum hunting rifles, the only use of which is against large African dangerous game, and I doubt if 1 per cent ever were used in this way, and I can only think people wanted a ludicrously powerful rifle just for the horror and terror of it. The Patriot is Airgun artillery, a PCP is just a PCP. Perhaps they should have called it the Webley Trebuchet.

Its not even thát powerfull compared to nowadays stuff. Hatsan 125/135, Gamo Hunter Extreme all have more power than the Patriot.
Had a PE too. Sold it when I got my lazaglided tomahawk.
PEs are very nice, but very rare and as such far too expensive. For that kinda prices you can buy 3/4 Patriots in the uk.
Still Patriot is and will be, an icon. But for serious use, there are better guns out there

I have all the guns you have mentioned,apart from the Patriot (Fac required) . My Hatsan sniper 125 is a big old unit and makes my PE’s look average size.
I would still have a Patriot if I had a Fac.

Yep, Hatsans are seriously big/large!
Dont they require FAC than? Or are they available as 12Ftp as well?

My one is a 12fp UK spec.
I suppose you can order them FAC, if you have a FAC.
