Hi. My name is Raubritter and I have developed an airgun obsession. It started when I found a boatload of pictures of old airguns from the 1800s and it got fatal when I found a picture and artical about a nasty looking airgun some partisan made in WW2. It was bolt-action, 40cal, and pressurized with a bicycle pump. Looked like a cross between a Sten and a yellow boy lever-action. And for some reason, that really won me over to airguns. I have no delussions about being a pneumatic ninja, but I do like BBQ squirrel...I fought it off for a whole year after that, even picked up a black powder rifle to hold it off. I was fine until I found a good deal on the globally-praised crossman 2250.

I ordered it when a quick search of several air gun forums revealed that adding a 24in barrel would jack the velocity up another 80fps or so, and that a stronger hammer spring would kick it up further. So now the 2250 and the 24in barrel are on the way.
Oh. And it looks like something Boba Fet would carry. That's cool. Fet, man. Fet.

To my knowledge, no look-alike air guns use these, or the lead ones. The look-alikes usually shoot 6mm plastic balls.

I used to have a Benjamin pump .20 caliber. Pellets were hard to find, had to order them. But they packed a whole lot of smack. I gave it to a local air enthusiast. It being between the .177 and the .22 it kind of packed the best of both flavors.
It had problems with gas seals internally...
Ogre Ranch has a couple air rifles around for pest control purposes. A Remington pump air rifle with a scope, and a .177 Benjamin. They are used primarily on starlings, stray tomcats, skunks, and pidgeons. Normal firearms are loud and disruptive.
Crossman has their new line of Whisper air rifles... and they are pretty damn good. Two hundred bucks, but the built on Gun Muffler at the muzzle really quiets it down.
