one question what was the feet away when you used the crossman with the copper bb.. it just didnt say how far away you were?

[tnoutdoors9]

@StrictlyTactical

I was on my deck, so 15-20 feet.

[DaN1el96]

can you youse the pellets again



[tnoutdoors9]

@DaN1el96

Possibly the PBA, but I wouldn't try it.

[tonykart40]

only problem is this isnt a valid test as the temperature would have rose making the gel softer for the second test so a pointless test but i see where your coming from

[tnoutdoors9]

@tonykart40

It is virtually impossible to keep the same block at the same temp, unless it goes back into the regrigerator. I don't recall doing that on this test. Ballistic gel is the holy grail of ammo testing, but I'm going to start using SIM-TEST in Feb. 2011. It is the next best thing, perhaps better in some regard.

@nebula25x

Agreed, or even zombie larvae.

It will dehydrate for certain. Left indoors, I've seen it mold. Outdoors in the sun, dries up like potato chips. It could be interesting to make a short video on "The 12 G-Rated Uses for Left-Over Ballistic Gel". You know, spreading some on toast, a pizza topping, etc. Something warped, but educational satire. Ok, I'm all over it.

@Nero619ful You take a shot to the eye with either of these air rifles and it could/would kill you.

[Nero619ful]

So will a pellet gun/ bb gun kill someone?

[D33Lux]

@LAWOFC956 Does that work for all pellet guns?

[MrJmak223]

Have you shot any .22 pellets that weighed 14.3 grains at the gel, with a velocity around the 600 feet per second mark? If you did, how well did they penetrate the gel?

[pelletgunhero]

old guns: you will put your eye out, new guns: you will kill somebody

[mancilla903]

what is the best pellet for the pumpmaster 760

[LAWOFC956]

If you disassemble the crossman pumpmaster and stretch the spring and heat it it will be able to pump it up more and fire at higher velocity

[rideordie650r]

@reggieandnoah109 Those destroyers really hit harder than any other pellet I have tried. But they don't group well at all. But if you do connect on a pest its game over. Little sparrows just explode.

[reggieandnoah109]

@TheNewbpowner123 I recommend crossman destroyers they are awesome

[clawpky]

can you use the pellets again??
