About 110,000,000 people have been born in the US in the last 25 years. I’ve heard that using statistics and figures is a good attention getting technique in public speaking and essay writing. However, I cannot correlate that sum with any pertinent fact in regard to airgunning. Now that I have your attention (or don’t– whatever) I need to lay down the logic on why you need an airgun in 2024.

How do you like to measure power? For me it depends on what you are talking about. If we are talking about lightbulbs, watts or watt equivalent will let me know how much light output to expect from that bulb. If it is an internal combustion engine, then horsepower and torque help tell the story for me. But when it comes to guns, from firearms to airguns, there are two common ways to describe power output and, depending on where you are from, one might be more common than the other.

If today’s uncertain environment has taught us anything it’s that there’s certainly no shortage of people who, not speaking to their motivation, have no compunction against opening fire on (presumably) unarmed people. While the most common scenario is for such an incident to occur at a public school, it is not unheard of that homicidal violence is unleashed on a church or other house of worship.

Spring and Gas Piston air rifles need very little in the way of maintenance. The most important thing is to keep the exterior metal surfaces clean and oiled. This will help prevent rust and staining from the oils and acids in your skin. Don’t over-apply this oil as too much oil can damage wood stock...

Spring and Gas Piston air rifles generate two distinct recoil impulses during a shot. The first one occurs before the pellet starts moving and the spring or gas ram has been released by the trigger. The piston assembly moves forward rapidly and compresses the air inside of the cylinder, creating the air charge that launches the pellet.
