Hi all,
Here's a picture of a prototype (not mine) of the Drummen Giant. It's producing more then 1000 Joules (740 fpe) with .45 ammo. Drummen is a Dutch maker of High End fire-arms and air-rifles.

Brilliant! & about as much use as a chocolate firegaurd! bet you don't get many shots per charge out of that.
I wouldn't like to have to pump that with a hand pump. I can't see the advantage of going with such a large callibre, the ballistics are going to be poor - about that of .45 Colt 1911. 30 callibre would be more impressive.

Yes and even more. The nice thing about it you can buy one over here in Holland without FAC or any licence.
Just be 18 years or older and bring the cash
The Giant is nothing special by the way. Ranger\ Gargoyle\ Quakenbusch have the same or more output

well done mate - keep digging these little treasures up! bonkers but brilliant!
Interesting to see that there has been a lot of design development of high power air rifles recently across the globe.
IIRC, aren't the american military looking into large calibre air rifles for long range sniping? (i'll have to google it?)
Love the dutch rules on air power BTW - uber jealous...

p.s. 45acp (powder burners) drops like a stone after about 115yds (IIRC), so i wonder what the trajectory will be like for this (what grain pellet?)...so something closer to 9mm (.30cal) would be more appropriate for longer range applications at that power (750fpe)...hey, but worth experimenting, can i get a job there
