Low cost practice

[Snake45]

I have an old Crossman MkII pistol. It was a match grade CO2 pistol.

I have one of those too but the piercing plug thing in the grip is broken and I haven't been able to find another one. Haven't been able to shoot it in over a decade. Shame because it seemed like a VERY accurate pistol last time I shot it.

Softair and pellet rifles are the ultimate low cost trainers. Softair versions of your firearms can be used almost anywhere you can hang a blanket. Semi auto pistols that blowback and full auto carbines etc are available in most popular platforms. You can use them in your carry holsters etc. You can run drills just like you can with firearms. Pellet rifles and pistols can also be used to run drills etc. Like I said in my previous post a decent pellet rifle is the best long range practice. A pellet rifle at 100yds is like a 300 or 50bmg at 1,000+ yds.

I hear ya Mah Brothah!

I've seen parts available online. Rebuild kits with new seals are very reasonable.

GREAT,
Looks like someone has a Gatling Gun and shooting Gunpowder in it.

A chainsaw is a lot cheaper than all that lead thrown down range. It's now 12/10/23 and most people don't have that kind of ammo to waste away.

I can remember when a friend cut down a tree with a Browning 1919 30-06 belt fed machine gun. This tree had to be about 20" thick. He cut it up for firewood afterward!

Wow! I've missed a whole year. It's still 2022 where I live.

This 45-70 Camel Gun belonged to a friend of mine.

Sorry, but that wasn't too impressive. They could have at least shown the tree and what the gun was doing to it.

We we're on my deck with a cellphone not some 3 camera shoot with editing. The tree I was cutting down was 75yds away. It got a little livelier the more dialed in we got we only had 5,000rnds linked up that day.

How did we get from "Low Cost Practice" to Gatling guns and Browning M1919s?

Might be World Record Thread Drift happening here.
