i've used .22 caliber for almost 10 years, yet when i used a .177 caliber rifle i fell in love with it. actually i've caught more games with a .177 than a .22. as with many experienced hunter would say, "the size and power is not always the factor, it's where you place the shot.". and personally, i would go for distance and accuracy than sheer power. with a .177 in 850 fps, i can hit target as far as 120 yards and still take a hit on a target's vitals cleanly. i am not bragging about it,

Your police dont even carry guns! They carry batons.

@ILaxWithaPro7 you say that about warfare but there origionaly, the USA was gunna attack UK, or so i have been told. and i am not jealous that every nutcase is armed in my country. only specialist police units. also i am not fat ass, sorry to ruin your daydreams.

@CrunchyBrush shut your fucking mouth- why is there so much hate between the two countries- I was always against the british (and to some point, still am) but in reality- we are very alike- and would stick up for eachother in warfare to the day our two countris are destroyed- we are allies whether you like it or not, and if you don't like eachother, you still have to respect and tolerate your american comrades.

@CrunchyBrush Close but your off by a few pounds. Im actually under weight for my age. Sounds like someones pissed of because a 14 year old has a bigger/more powerful gun then some fat ass loser who trys to make fun of other countries when we all no your just jealous. Nuff said.
