Thank you
im joining the NZ army next year, and am a very good shot with a rifle, ive taken goats/boars down between the eyes from nearly a mile away(even in windy weather) and have never missed a shot, but i have a stigmatism on my dominant eye, it aint really affected me as you have read, but they dont know that im worried they will find out bout my eye and laugh me out, should i film my next hunting trip or somthing to show them? plus i can sight up my rifle without firing a shot(im a good range and elevation guesser) and also, i was wondering if anyone knows if its illigal to own a silencer in this country? im from scotland so not too familiar with laws, i bought one of a friend a while back but all gun shops i go to dont seem to stock them, would be handy to know, thanks=)
I know it is illegal to have a muzzle or detachable silencer but how about a permanent silencer such as ones built in the barrel of firearms
are silencers illegal in Western Australia for a .177 or .22 air rifle?
after i buy a gun i am interested to know if i can get a silencer for a .22lr rifle for rabbit hunting purposes so they don't run away after 1 shot?
thnx any info on silencers would be good too
also im almost certain its legal in Australia because it has a permit but i want to know if it is for rabbit hunting purposes.
well if there not legal why on the police sight say silencer permit $58 along with other licences and permit fees.
if not the case please explain
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Gang Unit seized dozens of high-powered weapons and arrested 11 men—three of them Bell Gardens residents—on Sept. 24; they face federal charges for trafficking weapons and drugs following a nine month investigation.
Two Bell Gardens half-brothers, Henry “Silent” Valenzuela, 37, Sergio “Lil Silent” Calderon, 23, and their stepfather, Javier “Padrastro” Avila Lopez, 49 of Watts, are identified as heads of “Barrio Evil 13” in a sworn affidavit by a federal ICE agent.
An undocumented immigrant and Bell Gardens resident, Everado “Lalo” Venegas-Lumbreras, 38, was also arrested. He was allegedly a “runner” for Lopez and transported and delivered narcotics and firearms. Lumbreras’ has an outstanding deportation order dating back to 1999.
The investigation is part of an ongoing initiative by ICE’s National Gang Unit, “Operation Community Shield,” which investigates transnational street gangs conducting crime in the U.S. and other countries, according to an ICE statement and the affidavit.
Dozens of high-powered weapons, including assault rifles, handguns, silencers, a shotgun and thousands of rounds of ammunition were seized at four locations where search warrants were served, federal officials said.
The affidavit listed Valenzuela’s home in the 6600 block of Ajax Avenue, Calderon’s residence in the 5800 block of Gage Avenue and a warehouse in the 7500 block of Scout Ave. where additional illegal weapons were found, according to Dixon.
ICE Spokesperson Virginia Kice told EGP that the gang is based in South Los Angeles, “but several of the members do currently reside in Bell Gardens.”
According to the affidavit, Valenzuela claimed to be a hit-man for a Tijuana Cartel and said he had been paid $15,000 for a “hit” in Barstow, California on Sept. 2. He also allegedly tried to recruit an undercover investigator to carry out “hits” in the Los Angeles area for $5,000 to $10,000. Valenzuela said he had six more murders-for-hire in Los Angeles still to carry out.
Valenzuela has a criminal record dating back to 1999 that includes arrests for vandalism and possession of a controlled substance. He was charged in 2007 with assault with a deadly weapon, but was not convicted.
His younger half-brother, Calderon, was acquitted of the same assault charge. In 2003 he was arrested by Vernon police for vandalism, but was not convicted, according to the affidavit.
Valenzuela and Caldron’s stepfather, Lopez, was arrested in 1999 for Shooting at a Dwelling, and later convicted of Discharging a Firearm in Public.
Lopez allegedly told an informant that he smuggled undocumented immigrants and made frequent trips to Mexico to escort “load vehicles” across the border. He said he charged $2,500 per person.
The three men are accused of acquiring and distributing narcotics (cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine) and firearms in Los Angeles and Bell Gardens.
“The gang members and associates charged in this criminal complaint are alleged to have trafficked not just in drugs, but in weapons, and not just any weapons, but weapons clearly intended for criminal conduct, including an AK-47 assault rifle, a Tec-9 sub-machinegun, a MAC-11 sub-machinegun, and a sawed-off shotgun,” said Acting U.S. Attorney George S. Cardona in a statement. “The arrests made yesterday eliminate a source of firearms that would otherwise be out on the streets being used to commit additional violent crimes.”
Also arrested and facing federal charges for conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, including heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana are: Eduardo Ortega-Plascencia, 39, an undocumented immigrant residing in East Los Angeles; Margarito “Tito” Enciso, 27, of Long Beach; and Silverio Palma-Carlin, 31, of Jalisco, Mexico. Two other men have also been arrested on state drug trafficking charges: Francisco Arellano, 32, and Alfredo Rutillo-Medina, 27, both of Nayarit, Mexico, according to ICE.
If convicted, the maximum possible penalty for the charges is life in prison, according to ICE.
An ICE spokesperson, Virginia Kice, told EGP the gang is based in South Los Angeles, “but several of the members do currently reside in Bell Gardens.”
Bell Police Department Detective Terry Dixon, who assisted in the investigation and carrying out the search warrants, said “Barrio Evil 13” is a new gang in Bell Gardens. It is believed the gang members have moved there, and did not sprout from the community, he said. The Bell Police Department has a part-time field officer who assists ICE’s Gang Unit, he told EGP.
“That’s all we’re targeting, gangs,” Dixon told EGP. “We’re not targeting ‘average Joe’ citizens.”
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department; the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services; and officers from the Bell, Huntington Park, Vernon and Long Beach police departments assisted in the
How do you get the silencer on sniper rifles in Vegas 2? I've tried holding left on the D-Pad but it doesn't work.
I've tried holding left on the D-Pad but it doesn't work. It's on XBOX 360.
I have a KWA M4 Carbine Airsoft AEG rifle and I was wondering if a long Tight Bore barrel for an m16 will fit it if I add a mock silencer?
Well I plan on getting a cheap ruger 22 from my local gun store, obviously I have to fill out the form they give me and have them call in for a background check, but I also plan on changing alot of the accessories.. I want to change the stock to an m4 style stock, or whatever looks cooler to me, get a few 20-50 round banana clips, depending on what I can find, add a front verticle grip, maybe a bipod, and of course top it off with either a scope or some sort of red/green dot sight.
My question is really, to modify a gun or do anything that I would like to do, do I have to fill out any more forms or anything at all to make it completely legal. Is there anything like the process of getting a silencer, where there is a waiting period and a 200$ tax stamp or something of that sort.
I live in New York (not in NYC, or any other city for that matter)
Hey guys,
I'm a decent COD player but I always watch the guys better than me to look for new strategies. One thing I consistently notice is that these guys use Overkill with a sniper rifle and then a more mobile automatic weapon that has a silencer on it. All I play is hardcore and I don't understand the point of the silencer since they will show up on a UAV anyway. I get that a silencer is useful on regular mode since the default radar only picks you up when you fire, but I just don't see the point of a silencer on Hardcore if you don't use the Camo perk. It seems like a Red Dot or ACOG would be more useful? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Travis
I think it may be a conspiracy. Call me crackpot, but here's what I think:
Michael McGurk:
Blabbed about Joe Tripodi's friend scamming people. Was killed. Obviously knew something more. Apparently, police seized evidence of some audio tapes, in which McGurk met with 5 corrupt members of the labor party. The murder was in Northshore, sydney, therefore the tapes would be kept at Northshore evidence locker.
When McGurk was shot, no one heard gunshots, used a silencer, and used a Glock, bullets delivered to assassin, suggests MORE black market, bullets made of composite materials, therefore undetectable to metal detectors, OR specialised ammo= Hired hit.
Evidence would not have been moved from North Shore evidence locker, UNLESS a politician bribed police.
If that happened, the money would have been spent on high tech weapons, such as m4s, shotguns, and silencers.
The weapon is the key.
For example:
M4: an American automatic assault rifle. You cannot buy those legally without putting an order in. Police would keep a lid on any bribes, so the black market and a weapons wholesaler would be involved. At any rate, the launderer would monitor all his customers, in case one of them was a mole. You find the wholesaler, you find the police. Maybe wholesaler knows who bought them out. If the politician destroyed the tapes, the case goes cold. If the police did not spend the money on weapons, or don’t carry the M4s around with them, then the case will get harder to solve. Doesn’t have to be M4, just has to be advanced or illegal, like a silencer or a switchblade. Most likely will be increased military activity around crime scene, could use that as a cover up.
McGurk’s background: Property investor- Sun Herald: “Before he was shot dead earlier this month, Mr McGurk told the Herald Mr Medic was paying the former federal minister Graham Richardson $25 000 a month to push his property interests, including Mr Medich’s attempt to rezone his 344-hectare block formerly owned by the CSIRO at Badgerys Creek. The land was part of a larger parcel which included land owned by Sydney University and the Damjanovich family. Mr McGurk told the Herald the Government was set to announce the rezoning of the land earlier this year but it was postponed “because Ron blabbed” about his political influence.” Media blabber, underground sources.

Mamma mia, you know too much: Tripodi mate linked to Medich deal
“The fallout from the murder of standover man Michael McGurk is edging closer to the state government. The Herald can reveal that one of Labor minister Joe Tripodi’s closest friends and a director of his private company has taken out an option on a block of land at Badgerys Creek earmarked for rezoning by the Government. The 37-hectare rural block is only one paddock away from another block owned by the developer Ron Medich. Before he was shot dead earlier this month, Mr McGurk told the Herald Mr Medic was paying the former federal minister Graham Richardson $25 000 a month to push his property interests, including Mr Medich’s attempt to rezone his 344-hectare block formerly owned by the CSIRO at Badgerys Creek. The land was part of a larger parcel which included land owned by Sydney University and the Damjanovich family. Mr McGurk told the Herald the Government was set to announce the rezoning of the land earlier this year but it was postponed “because Ron blabbed” about his political influence. Mr Richardson told the Herald that he lobbied the head of the NSW Planning Department, Sam Haddad, last month over his refusal to rezone Mr Medich’s land. If rezoned, the land Mr Medich bought a decade ago for $3.5 million would be worth about $400 million. Several months ago, Mr Tripodi’s friend, the Fairfield jeweller Michael Daniele, took out an option for $5 million to bury the rural block owned by retired concreter Ron Morlin. The land, which is worth less than half that amount, is estimated to be worth $25 million if rezoned. Mr Daniele, who was praised in Mr Tripodi’s maiden speech to parliament, is the sole director of Mr. Tripodi’s maiden speech to Parliament, is the sole director of Mr Tripodi’s private company, New Arm Investments. Mr Tripodi has previously declared his stake in the company on his pecuniary interests register. Corporate records show that the minister resigned as a director in 2005. Mr Morlin, 73, confirmed Mr Daniele had taken out an option a few months ago. When asked if the option was worth $5 million, he replied, “Mamma mia, you know too much about it.” Mr Morlin also said: “Once it’s an option you’re not supposed to know anything about it, if you know what I mean.” He referred the Herald to Mr Daniele to confirm the terms that would trigger the exercise of the option to buy his farm. Mr Daniele said: “I’d love to discuss it with you but I can’t comment.” He denied having any inside information on potential rezoning or
Ngh, just read the damn details...
My question was if private, but licensed companies are allowed to purchase new fully automatic weapons?
I know that it is US military, Law Enforcement and Private SecurContractorsters with DOD contracts (Blackwater), but are certain US security companies allowed to purchase full automatics for use? Such as armored car companies, or those providing VIP protection for executives, etc?
Anyone with proper paperwork can purchase short barreled rifles and shotguns, and silencers, and for a civilian to own a full auto, requires it be made before 1986, but I wasn't sure about a security company, licensed, and with trained employees were as well?
Thanks.
That's what I was wondering. If even non-DOD contract companies can own post-86 full automatics?
I live in NYC and now I'm not going to have my friends on the train to help me.Plus I'm scared to go back to school cause I feel endangered,reporting 'it' only made things worst.

You guys aren't being helpful.I'm scared.
You know the worst part we aren't allowed cellphones either.
Ever since my brother came back from the military he felt the need to build an arsenal of weapons. We have allowed him to live in our home, but he is unstable, and has made threats to us and other establishments. He's a sadist and brags about killing innocent people in Iraq. He said that he and members of his company would sometimes pick up AK47s drop them next to killed inncocent civilians so as to make a murder look like self defense. Since being here, he has made threats with weapons to everyone in the household, animals, and when things don't go his way, threaten to go on a shooting. When he was failing college because of his failure to communicate to professors, he had said "What that Cho guy did is nothing, I'm going to shoot up the whole *effing* school! And unlike him I got the firepower to do so!" He's a self righteous hate mongerer and feels justified in his opinion. He says he bought the guns as a hobby, then as home defense, but now he wants a silencer for his .22 rifle so no one could hear him fire it. He also wants to spray paint the tip of his pistols orange and walk around in public with it like a toy. It's not to say I was never understanding, I wanted him to seek treatment with veteran affairs but everyone around me felt it was better to let things pass.This past week one of the dogs got loose, and he got angry and started beating the dog. I could hear the dog's cries and every hit from the next room over. I got tired of his bull so I knocked him down, in which he then got apprehensive. He wanted to fight but my dad split us up. I had enough and I was going to call the cops, and he then got scared, ripped out the phone line because he was afraid they were going to take his guns. I've had enough, his psycho behavior is just getting out of hand. He's leaving for Iraq in October for reasons less than honorable. He wants more money and he wasn't satisfied that he didn't get enough action the last time, and by that I mean kill. He hates muslims and brags how we would like to a bullet in every one of their heads. I don't know if I can wait till October, he's putting alot of stress on the family. What could I do?
i think that i got ripped off on a electric gun a few weaks ago and now i want a spring powered sniper rifle that looks cool but performs even better so i either want a type 22 sniper rifle or a m40a3 which i'd buy a awesome silencer for so i need help finding a m40a3 airsoft sniper rifle which is a high powered spring with atleast 450 fps.
THANKS!
I was planning on buying a silencer for my JG G36C airsoft rifle, and I heard a good review of the G&P stubby silencer on redwolfairsoft.com, but they sell it for $36 w/ shipping. I can get it on another site for just $20, but it's called the Element stubby silencer, not the G&P. They look the same, but do they perform the same? Thanks for any help.

They passed a law, signed by the Governor and going into effect this October 1, that any firearm, or firearm accessory, manufactured in the State of Montana, sold in the State of Montana, and maintained within the State boundaries of Montana, is NOT SUBJECT TO FEDERAL REGULATION.
Already companies are tooling up to manufacture rifles, silencers, and everything imaginable for firearms.
At the signing, the Governor wanted to be "VERY CLEAR" that this was a State issue, and that if ANY Federal agent (ATF or FBI) attempted to enforce Federal Law over Montana Law, within the State of Montana, those agents would be arrested by Montana agents, tried in Montana courts, and held in Montana prisons for the duration of their sentences.
And the Fed has been silent.
October 1 will be very interesting.
Do you applaud Montana's efforts, and their reassertion that the Constitution provides for State Sovereignty on almost ALL issues?
Memo to Culture Warrior:
You're not paying attention. Montana's contention (and they are correct) is that the Constitution reserves this right for the States, and they are claiming it. Read the 10th Amendment, that is the basis for their argument, and this legislation. And it will be used by several other States if Montana is successful in this instance (and I believe they will be, as I believe the Fed will acquiesce because they know they will be on the unpopular side of this debate on States' Rights).
Incidentally, I'm not a Montanan, but I have always wanted to be, and may be one day :)
mine are Ak47(gold) silencer, Usp.45, bandolier, stopping power, dead silence, P90, usp.45, bandolier, double tap, steady aim, MP5, usp.45, bandolier, uav jammer, dead silence, M40A3, usp.45, claymore, stopping power, iron lungs, M16 aka my little overpowered sniper rifle, usp.45,bandolier, stopping power, deep impack,
Wouldn't it give them an advantage?
That way, enemies wouldn't be able to hear where the shot is being fired from. And the supressor would also minimize the recoil. Most supressors weight less than 1lb (approx 300 to 500 grams) anyways, so it wouldn't be heavy. Besides, with an additional suppressor increasing the length of your weapon, you could hit your enemy with the tip of your rifle easier, assuming you don't have a bayonet.
Even with the 7.62 NATO rounds?
idk what kind to get for it so please help me out. if you could tell me where online i can find one.
Hi! I am looking for a reloadable rifle round that is similar power and ballistics to a .17HMR for rabbits and foxes. It can be more powerful but I need it to be about as quiet as a HMR. As long as it can take out a fox at 150 but not let the whole area know I am about. I am in Australia so that counts out a silencer
I have a .17HMR and the cost of the rounds is getting too expensive, so I am wanting a reloadable round with similar and slightly more power. I have been doing some research myself and found a .17 Ackley hornet sounds ok but I am not sure of the accuracy or the ease of reloading.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. - In Rocky Mountain National Park, the only thing more popular than the breathtaking scenery is the elk.
There are traffic jams and lawn chair gatherings just to watch — and listen — to the elk’s bugle.
But these majestic beasts have become just a little too comfortable here. According to park officials there are about 1,000 too many.
Some 3,000 of them now hang around in places they shouldn't be. Grass that's usually knee-high has been nibbled down. White-barked aspen trees are now scarred black by voracious elk appetites.
“You have a lot of dead trees in this area,” says the park service’s Kyle Patterson. “So you have no regeneration. No new growth.”
And the elk are pushing other wildlife out, says park service biologist Therese Johnson — songbirds, woodpeckers, various sorts of butterflies and other insects, and beaver.
Roving bands of elk wander into the nearby town of Estes Park, munching on lawns and gardens. And on the golf course, there's new meaning to the phrase “play through.”
Police Chief Lowell Richardson now battles his own unique gang problem.
“We've actually had pedestrians or residents attacked by an elk during calving season,” Richardson says.
Possible solutions are in a 500-page proposal from the National Park Service, including:
Inject the females with birth control.
Bring a few wolves down from Yellowstone and let the laws of nature take over.
Do nothing ... and watch the elk multiply.
The most controversial option is to kill 1,000 elk, using wildlife agents with silencers on their rifles. The park service maintains any killing would be done in the dead of night.
“Having that done in front of park visitors,” says Vaughn Baker, the superintendent of Rocky Mountain National Park, “that's probably not part of the part experience we want to have out there.”
But down on the banks of the Big Thompson, the idea of shooting elk doesn't sit well with tourists like Mitchell Dugger.
“I think there's some better ways to do it,” he says, “than taking them out with guns.”
For the next two months the park service will chew over the public's response to how it plans to control what's become too much of a good thing.
>>>Questions<<<
1. List three effects to nature that have been caused by the large number of Elks in the Rocky Mountain National Park.
2. Considering the list of possible solutions to reduce the number of elks, which one do you think is the best option and why?

Preferably around £150 and also 12ft lbs if possible.
I would definately want a scope and hopefully a silencer, so i would like to buy either second hand or i want to buy some sort of 'package'.
Does anyone feel like pointing me in the right direction?? lol
thanks
- I currently own a Tippmann 98 Custom, a BT-4 Ironhorse, and a T68 Pistol and I'm selling them at the moment. But after they're sold, I'm getting another gun but I can't decide which one to get. I'm between three guns, a magazine fed AK-47 (with only 2 clips), a P90 fully-auto marker (but without the e-hopper or remote line I would need for the gun), or a Tippmann TPX Pistol (I would get a tactical vest with holster, 4 clips, 10 inch rifled barrel with silencer, and 1000 paintballs). The reason is that those three guns (with the add-ons I described), all cost the same amount. So what do you guys think? What gun should I get when I buy my new marker? Thanks for the help.

NOTE THIS GUN IS FROM AIRSPLAT
Or any additions to the game that aren't in CoD4? Like maybe the ability to have a silencer attachment for sniper rifles, and being able to control the gun on your helicopter.
i have a co2 pistol and an air rifle, i need some sort of a silencer/suppressor so i dont get discovered easily when sniping from trees. how can i make a home made silencer?
I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS WAS FOR AIR GUNS!!! FOR AIRSOFT WARS!! NOT FOR REAL KILLING.
lol, ^_^ hehe, im not a terrorist or anything, i just want to have the best tactics in airsoft wars and being sly and sneaky will help big time.
I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS WAS FOR AIR GUNS!!! FOR AIRSOFT WARS!! NOT FOR REAL KILLING.
or if illegal, can i get some kind of silencer and just use it on the back garden?
Way to go Montana!!!!!!
You can google….new Montana gun law for a check
Looks like we have a Constitutional challenge.
Montana Governor Signs New Gun Law Executive Summary
The USA state of Montana has signed into power a
revolutionary gun law. I mean REVOLUTIONARY. The State of
Montana has defied the federal government and their gun
laws. This will prompt a showdown between the federal
government and the State of Montana. The federal government
fears citizens owning guns. They try to curtail what types
of guns they can own. The gun control laws all have one
common goal - confiscation of privately owned firearms.
Montana has gone beyond drawing a line in the sand.
They have challenged the Federal Government. The fed
now either takes them on and risks them saying the federal
agents have no right to violate their state gun
laws and arrest the federal agents that try to enforce the
federal firearms acts. This will be a world-class event to
watch.
Montana could go to voting for secession from the union,
which is really throwing the gauntlet in Obama's face.
If the federal government does nothing they lose face.
Gotta love it.
Important Points -
If guns and ammunition are manufactured inside the State
of Montana for sale and use inside that state then the
federal firearms laws have no applicability since the
federal government only has the power to control commerce
across state lines.
Montana has the law on their side. Since when did the USA
start following their own laws especially the constitution
of the USA, the very document that empowers the USA.
Silencers made in Montana and sold in Montana would be
fully legal and not registered. As a note silencers were
first used before the 007 movies as a device to enable one
to hunt without disturbing neighbors and scaring game.
They were also useful as devices to control noise when
practicing so as to not disturb the neighbors.
Silencers work best with a bolt-action rifle. There is a
long barrel and the chamber is closed tight so as to direct
all the gases though the silencer at the tip of the barrel.
Semi-auto pistols and revolvers do not really muffle the
sound very well except on the silver screen.
The revolvers bleed gas out with the sound all over the
place. The semi-auto pistols bleed the gases out when the
slide recoils back.
Silencers are maybe nice for snipers picking off enemy
soldiers even though they reduce velocity but not very
practical for hit men shooting pistols in crowded places.
Silencers were useful tools for gun enthusiasts and hunters.
There would be no firearm registration, serial numbers,
criminal records check, waiting periods or paperwork
required. So in a short period of time there would be
millions and millions of unregistered untraceable guns in
Montana.
Discussion-
Let us see what Obama does. If he hits Montana hard they
will probably vote to secede from the USA.
The governor of Texas has already been refusing Federal
money because he does not want to agree to the conditions
that go with it and he has been saying secession is a right
they have as sort of a threat. Things are no longer the
same with the USA.
Do not be deceived by Obama acting as if all is the same,
it is not.

btw guys
i didn't write this
it was sent to me in an email
i didn't change the wording because frankly, i didn't feel like it
OK... So I finally bought Call of Duty WaW off a friend for half price. Although I said it sucks compared to CoD4 (definitely true) it's still a decent game.
So, I need help with the maps. I'm not familiar with them and I'd like to know which is which, meaning that I want to know which maps are small and which maps are big.
OK, so, I need some help with classes now.
Which gun would be best with the perk Camoflague and a silencer? I did try the MP40 but without Stopping Power, it doesn't work out right.
So I need the best suitable gun for a silencer AND that doesn't require Stopping Power for complete ownage.
I'd like help with 2 more classes:
A class for large maps and a class for small maps.
I'd like fully automatic guns, nothing like the Arisaka or sniper rifles.
Thanks.
Hope I'm not asking too much. Thanks.
I'm looking for a moderator or something to dampen the noise to my Evanix AR6 and or Sumatra 2500, I was thinking maybe a Logun moderator but I don't know where to buy one. And I saw people were using actual rifle moderators in .22cal and .223cal on the air guns. But anyways I need something to quiet these guns but keep the high power. So if anyone knows where I could get a moderator or something please let me know, thanks a lot!
i am looking to buy an air rifle to sort out a growing rat problem at our fishing lakes in france.
they are big b******s, not like what we have hear, so i would need something that is powerful over a fairly decent rage,
i dodon'tant anything too expensive as we are saving all our money to stock our lakes.
i would want something that can accept a silencer (for when guests are fishing and they do not hear me shooting off at every chance.
and also a scope, to help with my aim as i am finding it hard to get them with the snap shut, one shot, old wooden thing i have.
i'd also like it to have a red dot laser, as, well why not eh, surely it will help?.
i'd like one that is compatible with a tripod or some type of stand to again make my shaking arms a bit more stable when firing.
i dodon'teally know what prices i am looking at either, so any references would be much aappreciated
i'd like to spend as little as possible, but as this is for an item needed for my business, i wouldn't mind spending a bit extra for a decent model, nothing too ooutrageousthough.
as you can tell the only hunting i do is a spot of fishing so forgive me if my terminology is double dutch to you, lol, cheers.

I'm bored.
Is the silencer and shorter barrel going to noticeably affect accuracy or velocity?
can you fit a sound monitor to a 22 air rifle b3 under lever with there being a welded scope at the tip i see no way a silencer can connect i know people think why do you need one on a air rifle the reason is mine from new has always let a large bang noise when fired and i would like to reduce this .
I own a .22 Weihrauch HW 57 air rifle which I use for hunting rats - This is because of the caravan site my parents own - Nobody would want to visit a caravan site plagued with rats, after all. I would prefer my rifle to be as quiet as possible so as not to disturb the site's visitors - does a silencer exist that is compatible with a HW 57? If so, how much does it cost (Preferably in GBP)?
The Weihrauch HW 57's a pellet/BB gun - It doesn't fire cartridges.
It my first time looking at air guns and i have narrowed it down to two gamo's due to the reviews, cost, looks and power of the air rifles they sell.
I looked at beeman's but am worried that they are more for competition target shooting. I am looking at the varmint because of the great reviews and quality of the gun and at the moment it is my preferred choice, however i also like the whisper due to the fact that it can reduce the sound of a shot. (I am not looking at using this in the back yard unless in a real emergency lol ) only on the rural property. I want a .177 air rifle that will knock down a rabbit in one no more then three shots from 30- 40 feet.
Does the whisper count as a silencer? I am pretty sure its illegal to use a silencer i live in NSW, Aus
Can anyone help please?
