>>1055807Murrican here. I own more real guns than you I'm willing to bet but I still love my air rifles. Loved them since I was a kid.
>>1055831Don't listen to these faggots. They probably aren't even aware that you can get airguns that shoot. 50 cal projectiles. That being said I still prefer the .177 for plinking and fucking around.
>>1055847You just saw a pellet gun takedown a hog easier than a bow would... lol
>>1055894But for us who live in murrica tax stamp. Fucking europoor
>>1056753Because it's a cheaper alternative, requires no paperwork, and ammo is way cheaper than .22, and it's quieter and can be legally suppressed without tax stamps and I can shoot it in my backyard legally and they don't over penetrate small targets like a .22 would
>>1057367Big difference getting the drop on a bear with a .223 to the head or another vital, than shooting a charging bear in self defense.
Not to mention Polar bears tend to be out in wide open spaces. Where you can shoot one multiple times while it's charging you.
Now a Grizzly that charges you a few yards out of nowhere through heavy brush that will send your 5.56 tumbling.... you're gonna get a shot or three.
I want to make it count.
