I have a few CO2 pistols, and they are much more challenging than rifles, but great fun. The biggest problem is the noise. I used one - one shot! - in the garden, and spent the rest of the afternoon waiting for the boys and girls from CO19 to come and kick my door down. 5mith

as part of the early lockdown boredom, I cleaned out my storeroom, and found this, great fun !

For once I actually planned ahead and when lock-down looked imminent I went to my local gun shop to stock up on supplies...and prepare for a little garden shooting.

One daughters already has a GAMO Pt85 but I don't get on with it so bought a Umarex .177 Browning Buckmark

Put a cheap(ish) reddot on it and so really enjoyed putting 20 or 30 pellets a day through it.

As an aside, my other daughters Crosman Ratcatcher has turned out to be a great little garden rifle.....bought 50 CO2 capsules and I'm already running out!

I have a nice Section 5, six shot revolver. At one time, I had it fitted with a laser set for 10m. The main use is dispatching vermin in traps, however it also makes a nice one for some target practice.

I'll try to get a picture posted ...

I have an all steel CZ-75 BB air pistol. It's OK for beer can plinking in the back garden. It's the only shooting I've done since March.

Aye, I read "all steel CZ75 BB" and immediately wondered the same....
