That was quick as mine are not supposed to arrive till Saturday. Go on, shoot a few. I can't tonight, the garage range is still out of action and the family are home. I will try a handful tomorrow in the garden when the Mrs and kids are out! Send them to the shops. Tell them you need some... Tenor man? I don't know. Make something up!

Tell them that you heard a new virus variant had turned some people into zombies, so you need to practise defending the homestead.
(I hope this doesn't turn out to be a prediction).

Couldn't imagine Clint Eastwood saying- can't shoot you dude, the missus is indoors.

Some mild disappointment with the tin bashing qualities for the alu 0.30g BBs - I still don't think they are heavy enough. Fresh CO2, a couple of sighters on target then 4 shots into the tin. There is some very mild penetration with the first shot but the others bounced off the can. On the plus side, the 0.30g seems to produce better accuracy with the Desert Eagle in general - I will be shooting some more in my lunch hour a bit later on. I am also expecting my 'catapult 6mm BBs' today and they have no weight info - they may be steel and provide a bit more heft

Yes a little disappointing but on the other hand i think they will be more stable in flight for target work and longer ranges. As for the steelies they should weigh about 0.80g There are a couple of YT videos testing them and their can penetration was not good either. Use coke tins. Oh i dont recommend using soft grapes and wet tissues like one member seems to do indoors unless you have a good back catch

They are great fun, I would say more accurate too. This was at 6m weaver Including the shots at the can earlier I got 46 good shots from the CO2. Every BB was retrievable from the box/cushion backstop as well which they were with the plastic BBs also, so if you do want to shoot indoors I don't think you'd ever have to buy BBs again beyond your first set Some more testing to be done but I really love this pistol. I would still have the black version given the chance again but this one is home in the collection I need a new Amazon box.....

I have found that 0.22 pellets struggle to penetrate steel cans, just because of the greater surface area.
6mm projectiles would find it more difficult to penetrate than 4.5mm; but weight for weight, bigger balls are going knock the target around more.

Another discovery for the day, Heinz Spaghetti and Sausages are lovely. I don't eat them they are for the kids but they took me straight back to childhood

Now these have just landed - steel BBs These feel heavy, sizing looks pretty much spot on. Will have to give them a test over the weekend
