Airgun Stuff

We revisited an old but good sustainable hunting site after a two year absence. Alas, it had been hunted out and this was really annoying as this was clearly due to greedy hunters.

REXIMEX RP 0.22 Cal made in Turkey, basically a copy (looks pretty good) of the Russian made ATAMAN P16

Shooting 23gr slugs from a REXIMEX RP 0.22 Cal PCP pistol. Yes, It can be done. We tested this without cheating, just out of the box, no regulator adjustment and it grouped within a 4cm circle at 25m. This is pretty poor but remember the rifle/pistol was handheld and it was untuned for slugs.

Purely for entertainment and I have been somewhat vague about the construction however, the Zoraki HP01-2 ULTRA, this works extremely well and is not only very quiet but does not hinder the accuracy of the projectile.

A silencer for a PCP need not be complicated internally at all. A simple orifice plate and a tubular construction which prevents internal air turbulence is all that is needed in order to reduce the SPL and not to interfere with the projectile trajectory. This can be seen in factory made moderators which simple consist of a "metal tube" and nothing more.

A very small impact detonated charge was placed on an airgun target. The whole point was to test if the force of a airgun pellet could detonate this material. Which obviously it could. You can see small fragments of wood being blown out at impact. The noise is just louder than the suppressed airgun, because this would defeat the purpose of noise suppression.
