Re: RWS and H&N Barracuda

Tanks are a good way to go but then you are stuck trying to get refills. Having a compressor is the way to go, and if you can also fill a tank even better. You are right, it didn't hurt to lap it.

Good shooter ya got there Bill!
I always wanted a Beeman Crow Magnum in 5mm.
I often thought the 5mm guns were the best of both worlds, more pellet weight than 177 and better velocity than a 22 but sadly I must have been the only one who thought that as the pellet selection is poorer for 5mm.
