I did a search and it looks like it's been quite a while since there has been an airgun thread
Really though I just want to show off my new awesome airgun and some others lol.
I've always had one around, I think it was a Beeman pump BB gun my first one.
Later I got some break barrels for plinking and "survival" purposes though admittedly I haven't done much hunting with them. A little effective pesting, though.
I can't remember exactly why I got interested in Precharged Pneumatics, it was 2021, I must have been looking at airgun websites for break barrels so I know I was aware of them. I'm pretty sure it had to do with the cost of ammo, and maybe a bit of the survivalist in me. Trying something new. So I got a Benjamin Bulldog .357 because it seemed pretty cool and relatively affordable powerful airgun to have.
Well today just 3 years later now I have 5 PCP airguns and I'm going to have to shoot a ton if the thought of saving money on ammo is going to have any merit lol! However I don't really shoot my firearms at the range anymore, they've been relegated to primarily hunting duty so eventually there might be some "savings" on ammo. (I've also bought a couple of Crosman 1322 pump pistols and have been adding mods and accessories on them too but that's almost a whole other story: "How to turn a $60 airgun into a $300 airgun").
It doesn't matter they're too fun. Knives have taken a bit of a back burner too I'm afraid...
All this to show off my newest one a .30 Mordax pistol by Western Airguns. This little thing is wonderful. I already had it's bigger sibling the Western Airguns Sidewinder, which uses the same action but is a full sized rifle/bulpup thingy.
It has 12 round magazines that are the same for both guns. They both shoot pellets or slugs. They are both very accurate.
The Mordax has a 90cc 4500psi air cylinder. The regulator is adjustable to power your shots from 10 to 50 fpe (50 good enough for coyotes and such). You can only get half a magazine out at full power though. From the factory it's set to around 36 fpe and I'll get 2 good magazines out of it before it needs to be recharged. It is nice level of power just fine for small game and turkey sized birds which I will be tactically deanimting with this gun. The Sidewinder can get turned up to 125 fpe, but the Mordax is super light and has plenty of power for hunting.
Did I mention that both the Mordax and Sidewinder are Semi-auto hammerless airguns that have a full-auto switch? Definitely gets some looks from neighbors at the range when you let that off.
Anyway here's some pictures of my new gun.
Here with the Sidewinder
Dressed up to dance
Hope you folks enjoy the photos, I liked posting them! I'll post some pictures of my other guns later. Had to show off this one though, it is especially awesome in my opinion. I travel alot for work and this one will be way easier to take with me than the full sized rifles. It's light and will work well for hunting. I look forward to explaining what it is to the game warden!
