I'm starting to realize outside of absolute SHTF, this is the way. Has anyone else experienced these?
>>64677507We live in a capitalist society. You can just buy things because you think they're neat, Anon. You don't have to justify then with utility.
>>64677528adding to that, you can also just buy 1,000 rounds of ammunition, which is more than a lifetime supply for any survival rifle and completely invalidates meme ammunition types
>>64677507>this is the way
>>64677507>SHTFOk, how long will it take me to refill the tank with a bike pump?
>>64678062A bike pump won't reach 3000 psi.
>>64678062about 45min straight to 2h i think, based on my own refilling of pcp bottles.then, if you have a mold to pour bullet, its not too much :2h to fill the tank, 30min to melt and pour lead, giving you 20 shots, not too bad for shtf
>>64677507I hunt with a .177 FX Cyclone.pros:>no earpro needed>500 pellets fit in your pocket>can hunt in certain areas where firearms are seasonally restrictedcons:>feels fragile compared to a real rifle>get about 30 shots before velocity starts to drop and poi shiftsLately my Cyclone stays in its case and I bring a shitty single-shot Marlin and a pocket full of .22 short.
>>64677507>this is the wayNo. Just stack 22LR deep.Your pump and/or airgun will start failing way before the ammo goes bad. People keep looking for sustainable alternatives to firearms, but never think that their alternatives are dependent on consumables as well (in this case, O-rings and parts).
>>64678083How well does modern .22LR keep over longer times? I've seen old M2 Ball from before WW2 which was good as when it was new, but I've also seen 1950s Remshit .22LR in sealed packaging which had turned basically to junk (collectible for their old packaging though).
>>64678090White box has about a 2% failure rate brand new and accuracy is balls.
>>64678062Gx pump and, powerbank >>64678079This I can understand >>64678083The whole point is the extreme silence, doesn't have to be registered, and enough power to stop someone permanently In a shtf scenario, unless it is an immediate catastrophe there will be a period of time where the best choice isn't going to be grabbing the AR or AK or even the .22. I have a shit ton of guns to be clear but I was not aware of how fucking powerful and discreet these pellet guns are
>>64678068Just carry some gasket adapters and you can get close
>>64678083Really, this. And I am pro airgun. Stack the rimfire deep, esp now.
>>64678090>I've seen old M2 Ball from before WW2where the hell did you see that at?
>>64678104>doctor it hurts when I do thisSo don't buy white box. Ffs, people. This sport is expensive. Step up or stfu. Fuckingnpoorfags, Jeez!
>>64681831M2 Ball existed before WW2.
obsession over airguns for shtf is a russian thing
>>64682189Russian airguns are sick though. I still want that Edgun that folds up for black ops.

If you're satisfied with airguns then good for you.
