"We received one in the morning post. A mere four hours later, frantic phone calls and gun-running couriers saw another 20 come through the door, along with 10,000 rounds of ammo. The result? All-out war."
FHM, October 2001

"Yes! Now I can recreate the whole of the A-Team series, where you can shoot millions of bullets and no one gets hurt!"
BA Baracus, Hull

"Thankfully, this particular firearm is pretty harmless but still enables you to indulge in your Scarface re-enactments in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Simply pull the trigger and a stream of plastic pellets spurt forth, get lost under the fridge, terrify household pets and annoy the hell out of anyone else in the room. As the man Pacino would put it: "Say hello to my little friend..." "
Official Dreamcast Magazine, May 2001

"The cleaners in a big bank in the City are not the biggest fans of your site as they have to clean up blue bullets every evening since 20 machine guns shooting blue plastic bullets were delivered to one department!"

"This is the best toy ever made - everyone must have one! We had full on office war after work; there were three of us, the crossfire was crazy... then the cleaners came in!"
Gunboy, Oxfordshire

"Buy one, buy one, buy one!!! This is the best office toy ever, by this afternoon we will have 7 of these."

Re: [Paul] Great Sites... In reply to

Yeah, I got one of the guns. .They fire quite a distance....easily down my lounge, which is 60 foot...and still can knock a can off a stand from one end to the other, so they must be quite powerful to do that. You could always email them and ask ;) I'm sure they have more detailed specs if you ask them.

Re: [Paul] Great Sites... In reply to

boys, boys, boys,

played with similar for a while, accuracy sucks but then again 20-30 pellets at a blast .... accuracy is well //... /// pointless.

distance should get you a decent 10-15m with enough force to make the other person skip and jump Laugh

pellets ..... hehe ... get a water bottle and cut the spurter area to fit the pellet size. Makes reloading as fast as pouring goes.

power. I got a little 9mm single shooter ... at 3m I put holes in coke cans and dent coffee cans seriously Cool

pellet guns are almost as good as the BBgun I had when I was younger.

cleanup .... ughhh buy a one of those car cleaner thingys ... then you don't have to fit with the lint from your regular vacum cleaner. .... picking up pellets by hand sucks big time.

are these things fun? .... another pointless question ... why yes, doh !!!

warning if you live at home or with a wife ... watch out ... they'll kill you for all the pellets you couldn't find (this is if your shooting up the house).

please don't target cats .... this stuff does hurt. ... a dog well come on ... they're sooo trust worthy and slowing moving targets any way.

be nice!

Re: [Paul] Great Sites... In reply to

I put this simple site up for a coworker http://jeff.camelsoup.com/ The Rouger Vaquero 6-shooter sold 2 days after he placed an add in the paper about it.

You know what he's buying with the money from this? A down payment on a whip he's getting custom made by the guy that did the whips for the Indiana Jones movies.

Yes I am genuinely interested.

I'm out of the country all next week, but I'll certainly be in touch after I come back (after the 30th March), or he can always contact me on wil@stephens.org. I'll be checking my emails at irregular intervals throughout my vacation.

Thanks

Re: [Wil] Great Sites... In reply to

okay... I'll let him know at work tomorrow. I still can't believe he's spending $500+ on a whip, though... He's trying to get into a police academy and all this junk... could you imagine a hillbilly cop carrying a whip instead of gun in his holster?
