To clear things up a bit...yes its illegal but this guys ghetto children have been ringing my doorbell for months and 2 weeks ago his drunk wife hit my mailbox while driving intoxicated. And yeap you can hit it from a block away..if you seen our blocks you would understand..its very compact here. And as far as damages goes this guys house looked like a tornado hit it a few times and i have yet to break the doorbell he has 5 cars in his front yard and I think only 1 runs. And the final straw was he saw my arcade machines in my garage and made this comment and im quoting " arcades are for nerds and people that have no talent" so yes it's illegal but it's a needed justice to his many ghetto white trash crimes. Amen bacon

Kind of ironic to be calling someone else ghetto trash in a post bragging about shooting at their house. If its true, I hope the cops get you before he decides to start shooting back. Then again, you have that airtight "he called me a nerd" defense.

I smell something from the farm coming from your post, but it's not bacon.

[nostrebor]

With two trebuchets, he could fling himself over, ring the bell, and then fling himself back.

I can hear it now...

"Martha, I just don't understand. The doorbell keeps ringing but noones there. The only thing out there is that rock tossin thingamajiggy. I shot it twice and it didn't move, so it can't be whats ringin our bell!"

Yeah yeah i think you need to work some aggression out to. Its very good therapy. And as far as the cops go, If I was shooting at live objects yes by all means haul me off to jail but its a house in which I'm suprised the doorbelll even functions. Im having fun so thats all that counts to me.

I'm a gun owner (air rifles too) and it annoys me to see one in the hands of an idiot.
You have the problems, not me.

[Zakk]

You guys should settle this over a game of hungry hungry hippos.

[dmsuchy]

That rifle look really cool, does it take CO2 or do you fill it with that "scuba clamp"?

[JB]

It's not the gun that is the problem, it's the fact that he's freakin shooting someone's house with it.

It is not legal to shoot at people or their property.

If this is the case, what possible purpose does gun ownership serve? 

It's NEVER the gun that is the problem, as the OTHER 'merican NRA saying goes: Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people! (did I get that right??)

The saying is "Guns don't kill people, people kill people."
And while cliche, it's fairly accurate.

*stops before this turns into a rampaging gun control argument*

I'd rather he come settle it by shooting my doorbell.

I'm just an instigator.  I'm actually looking into joining a gun club, so I'm also a hypocrite 

Heh.

I'm Texan. We're basically born with firearms.


True story: I owned a BB gun before I was in school. Dad bought it for me.
...
And kept it locked up along with his guns, because he's not an irresponsible firearm owner.

Still have the BB gun. Nowhere to shoot it, though.

Whatever dude..im sorry i stepped on your nra or whatever stuff its a pelet gun not an AK and just a fun thread but some people can't handle it without getting offended and start calling people idiots. mabye saint will squash this thread please cause its going in the wrong direction.

Not sure where you absorbed my stance on gun control from that post, but whatever. None of my guns have ever been used to shoot anyone or their property.  By your own account, you have a .22 pellet gun capable of ringing a door bell from a block away. You KNOW kids live there and you're shooting it within inches of the front door.

Straight up, I think the whole story is BS, but I couldn't resist calling you out on bragging about a blatant criminal act. You're just looking for attention, and got it in a way you didn't expect. Maybe you could start another "fun" thread about breaking and entering or arson. Whee!

[rchadd]

if you really are going around shooting up your community with that gun you got a lot of trouble coming your way. looks like a sniper rifle to me - i presume cops would think the same. maybe you can post to us from jail when bubbas finished having his way with you.

what is it with you yanks about guns?

look whats happened down in New Orleans - a terrible disaster and you've got anarchy with gun toting gangs shooting at rescuers for christ sake.

an event such as NO shows how easilly US civilization could easilly deteriorate into anarchy and the wide spread availablility of guns would facilitate it.

[TOK]

That's such a sweeping generalization I can't see from one side to the other.

Guns didn't cause what is happening in New Orleans. If there weren't guns, they'd be stabbing and hitting people with rocks.
From the other side of your generalization, I can say that if something like that happened around me, I'd be damn glad I had the equipment to try and defend myself. I think a few 10 round bursts of 7.62 would convince most goblins that they don't need what I have that bad and move onto easier marks.
Property is replaceable, but whats happening down there is way beyond that.

There are as many Yanks that feel like you do as I, so the only thing that you need to understand is that it has nothing to do with your country of origin. I know there are thousands of hunters and sport shooters in England that dislike the stance on gun control.

Kind of hard to take down a helicopter with a rock or a knife though.

Yea, they'd just have to wait until they landed. The guns aren't shooting the helicopters by themselves.

So, you will take "revenge" against what is probably against local ordinances with something that is a felony...

Gun are great fun when used in a responsible manner.  However, what you did is not responsible.  Even if it was an airsoft gun you would have issues.

Malicious is a bit of a stretch, but check this out:

Survey finds many British pubs serving cask ale too warm

Industry efforts to set aside the notion that British "real ale" should be served warm and flat apparently have fallen on deaf ears. A survey of pubs across England found that 44% of pints exceed the suggested serving temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 C).

Publicans in London, Essex, Middlesex, Cambridgeshire and the West Midlands all pulled pints measuring between 79 and 81 degrees F, and one in Kent served beer at 95 F !!

Inspectors made unannounced visits to pubs to check quality of beer served as cask ale (aka real ale). The findings were part of the organization's campaign to raise awareness of ale temperature.

A survey was conducted using qualified auditors who visited over 1,000 pubs throughout England of which 82% stocked traditional cask ale.

The survey findings showed that:

    * The quality of the pint in the glass was so poor in 23% of the outlets that inspectors stated they would not buy the pint again.
    * Poor quality was directly linked to the number of hand pulls on the bar. In 54% of the cases where inspectors stated they would not buy this pint again, too many brands on the bar was cited as a contributory factor. Pubs with over 5 hand pulls saw a marked drop in mean scores.
    * The other major cause of poor quality was failure to serve beer at the appropriate temperature (20% of all samples), but this was often linked to overall impressions of poor quality pub management in these outlets.
    * The worst performers with regard to beer quality were the independent free trade outlets, particularly in the south and south west of the country.
    * Poor quality was found in all types of pub, without significant variance between food pubs, rural pubs or city centre outlets

Paul Nunny, director of the Cask Marque quality control program, said many customers were confused about what makes the perfect pint. "Proper beer is cool, refreshing and thirst quenching," he said, noting that 52-55 degrees is preferred.

I find nothing but malice in suggesting a nation cannot properly serve its beer, especially a nation that produces beer at the quality of Canadian beer.

$600 for that stamped steel contraption? You could buy a nice rifle, or a nice firearm of most any type for that kind of money; or a nice Beeman if you are really into air rifles.

About the comments of it being .22 caliber; .22 caliber pellets intended for air rifles are much lighter than a .22 caliber bullet intended for say, a rifle chambered in .22 LR; not to mention that 950 FPS is slower than the speed of a .22 LR. So it is a fairly powerful "BB gun", but not anywhere near even the lowest powered of firearms.

[psik0tik]

Since the kids in the house comment I stopped doing it I really dont want to hit the kids even though they are evil. No its not anywhere near as strong as a 22 cal rifle. And I don't really want a real gun. I served in the marines for 8 yrs and I have plenty of those. This is just for fun. Im taking it to the military range this weekend and trying its didtance.
