Wow! A custom built 20mm air rifle!

Something like that should come with a tripod or pintle mount.
I like the way this guy thinks. And the creativity of attempting such a thing is not lost on me at all. Still, I can't help but think he would achieved much more in terms of ballistics by scaling back just a bit to something like a .50 caliber with the same pressure.
I suppose that wasn't the point, and the idea was to prove it was possible which was great and I enjoyed seeing it done. But the 20mm really seemed to bottom our very early even at close range. I hope he tries some lighter loads. That was really different to watch. :D Thanks for posting.

Interesting gun with Helium. What do you do, carry a cylinder of the stuff around with you? :D
There are several .45 and .50 cal air rifles on the market. The gun Mr. Hollow Point is shooting is a custom gun made by another guy who specializes in large caliber custom builds.
Normally these PCP guns use 3000-4500 psi of air from a scuba tank. However some are using Helium now.
