Off course you guys in North America have .25 rimfire rifles to kill anything sized between a rat and a cat. In Europe we need to be member of a shooting range, the other guys must vouch for you that youre sane and want a gun for the right reasons, before you get a weapons permit. Then the annual visit to the local police for inspection and registration, and the need to keep it in a safe. Not something i want to go through in order to shoot rats off the chicken feed. I dont like PCP for that reason either, i just want to be able to leave it in the closet for a few years and have it ready to go when i have pests (rat poison is banned too, only certified pest controllers may buy and use poison since January this year)
Also, for PCP pressurised gas i need to visit the gun shop 15 miles away, while BB pellets are for sale in the local hardware store.
Now i see on Youtube, guys that pop hogs with an air gun, not a PCP gun with a Co2 pressure charge, but a pump gun.
I see the Gamo Replay gas piston accumulator (instead of spring action, yet you still charge it by breaking the barrel) air gun puts out 45 Joule, about twice as much energy as a spring action BB gun. does anyone here use these high power air guns for small game and pest control, instead of PCP or rimfire ? What are your experiences ?
