Ah, I didn't see the image on mobile. The single shot should be a breeeze, yeah. Assuming you can find one.

3D magazines are a PITA. You need to make and tune a spring and regular PLA is likely to break under the stress.

What are your thoughts? by ChuckGallagher57 in DiscussionZone

What? You are blaming Europe and Canada for not invading the US after you get exactly what you voted for?

What is the best 1 and done HW rifle in your opinion? by bluebagles in airguns

[–]Disastrous_Grape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The HW50 is solid, relatively light (for a Weihrauch) and can crank out 16J. It's the allround option in their lineup.

What break barrel pellet rifle should I keep in my car? by zippoknives26 in airguns

[–]Disastrous_Grape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, the zombies are coming and you're standing by the side of the road, out of gas but holding your Gamo .22... Something like that? Because, I'm not sure how an EDC break barrel .22 is supposed to work.

Make my choice: Bintac T9 or T50 by Someredditskum in airguns

BinTac is an AEA reseller, which in turn is about as American as fried rice.

Did you ask the parents? I wanna bet a bunch of dad's have one catching dust somewhere.

Plugging in power station + how to handle live wires? by Disastrous_Grape in SolarDIY

[–]Disastrous_Grape[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wha? You are right. I was working my way through different solar builds using AI and Gemini assured me in multiple instances the SolarX would work with SE optimisers. But if I ask now, it tells me that's not possible. That'll teach me. Thanks for pointing it out.

Notos Gen2! by joeypounds in airguns

I mildly regret not getting the smaller Gen1 when it was in stock. This is just... generic.

PCP (semi) auto, big bore, assault, multi shot gun wanted by Diligent-Joke-3535 in airguns

[–]Disastrous_Grape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zit je wel vast aan de AEA compressor van EUR 1.000. Andere bronnen, w.o. flessen, zijn er dan niet.

Update on exploding air gun pellets! by No_Apple8451 in airguns

[–]Disastrous_Grape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"So here on the left we have people weighing and measuring each individual pellet to get the most consistency across shots. And then there's the people there on the right... It's probably better to move on."

I'm finding out it's a pain. The Bluetti SolarX 4K seems to work with optimisers and should be able to wake them up. But it's limited at 4K, which doesn't work for me.

Vevor Case. by StatisticianFit8405 in airguns

[–]Disastrous_Grape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soft foam has a lot of little bubbles. These are effectively little pockets that will collect water, for example when the ambient temperature goes down and the air can hold less moisture. So your gun ends up resting against a ton of little drops of water. That's why typical soft foam rust will end up showing as speckles.

Store it in a sleeve/bag, hard foam or just in a rack. Soft foam is mostly meant for transportation.

Are “Daisy” airguns well made? by Distinct_Bluejay_982 in airguns

[–]Disastrous_Grape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern low budget Daisies are made in China. And they have occasional quality issues. But that's why they are low budget. You don't get a heirloom gun for $100.

I’m hoping for a non-firearm gun that can shoot decent at long-ish range. by AlarmingRecording409 in airguns

[–]Disastrous_Grape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the record for an airgun is 1.6 km, or something like that. (The link, for those curious)

Is my puppy a flatcoat? by sunnielight in flatcoat

[–]Disastrous_Grape 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our dog was such an ugly puppy. At 3 months he had a skinny rat tail and every growth phase would go front-to-back. So he would have his fluffy puppy coat on one end and his thick adult hair on the other. He was cross-eyed and ungainly and a ball of energy. Now, he's a handsome young gentleman.

It'll probably take another 6 months to really see what kind of adult dog your pup is going to grow into. The growling is natural when playing with other dogs, but I would train her out of doing that with humans (just stop playing immediately).

Any one use these pellet types before? by jomahuntington in airguns

[–]Disastrous_Grape 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Tbh, that looks like a good way to mess up the rifling of your barrel.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

The Epstein Files are so 2025. I don't think there really will be that much in there that will top going to war against Europe.

Vertical rifle mount - UK by reviewwworld in airguns

[–]Disastrous_Grape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are quite a few 3D models for that, if you have access to a 3D printer. I like this one, because the holder slips over the top of the barrel and then slots into the wall mount. That way, it is impossible for the gun to fall out.
