You two should go get you some .50 BMG rifles then, if power is your definition of "effective". It's not always about power, I personally enjoy good accuracy no matter how much power is behind it. I have a lot of fun shooting my little .177 caliber 7.4 grain pellets at 500fps for target practice. Deadly accurate, but probably not enough oomph to wound a cricket. Olympic-class air rifle shooters are shooting at 10-rings that are 0.5mm in diameter (that's "ultra fine pencil lead" size). And they hit it. Repeatedly. From 10 meters away. Try that with a rock.

Try these air gun on for size........but probably not in the garage.

That was fascinating. I'm an airgun fan, and I have taken a lot of rabbits and squirrels with my Winchester 1100 FPS .17 cal pellet rifle. I didn't know about big bore airguns.

So, Jesselp, is there any long range results to share?
