25fpe can and will kill a human. And penetrate their skull. That’s why I’m always aware of what’s behind my targets and that’s why my son will learn to respect every gun, even little co2 pistols.
The Farming Airgunner absolutely my Hatsan 125 Vortex in .22 is steady at 27-28FPE with every pellet I’ve tried. It’s heavier than my fathers mossy and Remington shotguns
Gmar880 I have the Hatsan Torpedo 155 in .22, and that thing hits hard even using standard Crosman 14.3 Hollowpoint and pointed pellets. I’d honestly say the H&N hornet pellets in the 155 could probably take larger game within 25 yards or possibly 30 yards in a survival situation. After getting into airguns I realized that powder burners aren’t as necessary. Sure for home defense, but a pcp like the Hatsan Invader would make a sufficient home defense gun, especially being it’s semi auto.
It's nice to see someone actually comparing the pellets equally by foot-pounds generated. My experience has been that the type of Crosman pellets you used don't expand because of the combination of materials the pellet is made of. These are the type of pellet I have used to take quite a few cottontails. Good video.
Yeah, he seems to be a cool, knowledgeable guy, but I don't agree with him running around shooting damn deer and hogs with a pellet gun. Can a pellet gun kill a deer? Yes, but so can a pair of toe nail clippers. Being humane is very important and no one is ever going to convince me that you can drop a deer in his tracks with a .22 or especially a .177. I can see him shooting a deer, the deer staggering around in confusion and terror as this guy runs up and starts continuously shooting till its dead. Probably take around 15 to 20 pellets and 30 minutes.
EWC thats a good way to get popped in the mouth runnin' it like that. I beat people up, thats what I do. My hands are registered as harmful weapons in 2 states. My punches have been clocked at 1350 fps.
You sir ,are a bologna murderer. Lol. So I guess my crossman mag fed with 1100 fps with 22 grain hybrid slugs would work for hunting small game or self defense . I haven't tested on melons or balogny but it will puncture a cake pan made of light gauge steel
Recently received my first air rifle from my father for Christmas. Got to say I love the bloody thing it's a .177 it's the highest UK law will let you have without a gun licence. I shot a couple of cans of the top of my back wall. One of the pellets hit the wall with such force it took the top of the wall off. The wall is made of pure concrete btw. I've had a look online to see the wounds a .177 can deal and it's really nasty the only thing that seems to stop the pellets are bones. Air guns are no joke.
I'm brand new to airgunning, and I can definitely say without hesitation that I love everything about it. Sorta wish I picked up the hobby years ago. But I find your videos to be great and I've already learned a lot from you. Thanks!
I picked up a .22 air rifle about a year ago myself. I get all the fun out of it I got from centerfire, and it's something I can do in the backyard. In town.
Me too !!! I'm new to airgunning as of about a month or less ago !! I had a Co2 pistol when I was a kid, but never since. I own the Gamo Swarm Whisper 10X, Gamo PT-85, Crossman C11, DPMS SBR full auto, and the Umarex Steel Storm. It's addictive !!
I got shot in the bum and in the finger the finger still has a huge scar, and the pellet in the bum had to be removed left a circular hole looks like a tb vaccine
They actually use pellet guns for hog hunting, so I'm pretty sure they'll go through. I have a Crossman Fury, 1200fps, shoots through 3/4 inch pine at 60ft out. That's not even for hog hunting.
@@FuZe. lol, for sure. But if you know how to drop them a .25 or a .30 seems to do fine from videos I've seen. Even the pink pigs I've been around are wild at times.
So cool. I have 2 Gamo air rifles. Gamo Hunter Extreme 1250 Gamo Hunter Extreme 1650 I knew that they are deadly. I just didn’t know how deadly that they both were. Very informative.
My favorite is the Gamo Hunter Extreme 1250. It’s badass! I have had it for years. It has a very nice blued barrel, a nice scope, and is very accurate. I have bought a new main spring and seal, that I hadn’t replaced as of yet. I bet that my furthest shot that hit its target was at over a 1000 ft away, My kids thought that it was an impossible shot.
I see you’ve also have shot your chronograph. Always a shock when it happens. Bullet hole is a reminder about the difference between bore height and optics height.
Air rifles have always been a passion of mine. I am waiting for the day that they start legislation against them like the government does with firearms. I have several air rifles that are at strategic locations in my home for home protection. I hate it for the poor fucker that tries to break in my home.
Never shoot a damn home intruder with a pellet gun unless they are gonna kill you anyway. Most of the time they just want money or sex so just give them both and get them out.
Anytime I have questions about my air rifle I always check your videos out first James. Always lots of information and explanations on so many air gun topics. Great video!
My friend just got a Gamo rifle and started testing in my yard and started shooting but some bounce in the wood where we shot, any tips for a solid shot? What material? And is it legal to shoot in house or its necessary for a shooting range?
You are quite knowledgeable, I would say to anyone new to airgunning, watch this man's videos to become familiar with the nuances of the sport that you may otherwise never know, knowledge is indeed power. Thank you for a very good video.
Needs two layers of t-shirt in the front, two layers in the back, wrapped in a leather jacket, and to be backed by a new and improved, high tech fleece bullet stop.
dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last days :)
Me and my cousin used to hunt squirrel in the same zone as you in atterbury, and that’s how we found you on here. I’m we first watched around 2013 and I hadn’t seen anything for about 5 years . I recall you having about 200 subs. So 5 years later looking you up to see you’ve climbed all the way to 30K is badass man. Congrats.
You just gained a new sub. Great information. You're correct, people really do underestimate the power of a modern air rifle. I had a pest opossum on my property. One evening I decided to see if my Gamo Swarm Maxxim .177 would stop the problem. About dusk, I set up and waited. The little bugger came out of cover and headed for the crawlspace. I spotlighted him and snapped my fingers to get its attention. He stopped, looking for the sound. 1 shot right between the peepers. That critter didn't even flinch. Just froze, dropped on his side and didn't even kick. He weighed 7 3/4 pounds. No more critter.
Hollow points are hunting pellets meant for high muzzle energy guns. My 7.5 joule 240 classic is better off firing wadcutters for quicker energy transfer to target.
I've got a racoon problem and I am glad I watched your video . I have no dault my 177 will do the trick in getting rid of them . thank you for showing your video
A pellet shortage?! The world has gone mad! Air rifles have gotten so much better since I was a kid. You can actually take small game with them. Amazing.
@@Romin.777 I bet those cost more than an AR! LOL. I guess if you want to do that though, just go after one lone hog and don't miss. Maybe shoot from a tree!
I recently started shooting blocks of wet clay avout the size and thickness of 7 or 8 decks of cards lined up. You get a really nice impact opening and wound channel, kind of like ballistic gel that freezes into impact shape. Personally though I think a phone vook is the best analog.. Take a panel sat upright... Hang the phone book through the back 50 or so pages near the spine in a way that makes the book hang spine up from the panel flatly, as it would rest on a table. You want the edges to be squared up when hanging freely. When the pellets enter you see a wound path and indication more in line with real game. The thin paper also sustains damage beyond the pellet rest point to indicate bruising from force. Give it a try.
I personally use the Crosman.177 destroyer pellets. They are a hollow point with a tip inside, thing is gnarly. Would love to see them tested out some time on the channel
Have also noticed this pellet shortage, just bought a game varmit the other day and was shocked my local fleet farm was OUT of .177 pellets, however the Walmart in the next town had a decent selection
One of the most nasty hollow points you can get that fragmented at almost any velocity in any caliber is the RWS super hollow points it's such a soft lead that even at low velocity is it just splits apart I hope you try this pellet it's nasty and pump up springers and nitro piston don't know about pcps but it's a really good pellet RWS super points
@@STKO2011 And if you want to go for penetration, try the H&N Hornet. Most expensive pellet I ever saw here in Germany but they are really sharp pointed like on the picture of the box. You can prick your finger with a little bit of pressure and they really rip through some stuff. By law we can work with only 7.5 joule over here in G (about half of the energy your rifles have), but shot into telephone books, these guys buried themselfes like 2x-3x deep than the lead only flathead pellets, while the polymer-tip pellets went about 1,5 times deep. Would really love to see the difference with a properly propelled pellet (aka, shot out of a rifle with the energy yours have ;))
The 16 grain H&N hornet pellets I shoot from my Diana model 34 classic .22 air rifle would penetrate through all 5 pounds of the bologna and leave a nasty wound channel the way they penetrate and expand. I recently ordered me another tin of 200 of them from pyramyd air because there is a shortage and they was out of stock a spell
If youre getting the same model but in .22, the .22 version will always hit harder than the .177 even though is travels slower, which some people like. If it travels at less than 1,250 or 1,200 fps, it travels slower than the speed of sound, it wont have that cracking sound from sonic boom. The .177 is more for target practice as it flies straight farther, the .22 is more for small game hunting as it hits harder, it would be a faster kill, being more ethical. It really depends what youre looking to use it for.
Mmm not sure about this you took out a pellet then you picked up another pellet said thats not it then you showed just one pellet which was a 1.77 how do we know there wasn't a .22 pellet you threw away !!
I've recently purchased a Gamo Magnum .177 cal break barell. Before I bought that, I was shooting a Benjamin Prowler .22 cal. The difference in the cocking between the 2 rifles is like night and day. I'm not weak by any means, but cocking the Magnum is a beast. Other than the traditional way of cocking the gun, do you (or anybody) know of alternative ways of cocking the gun that aren't as tough? Would oiling it help? Any info would be appreciated...thank you!
as long as routine maintenance of lubing the piston seal, thats about it, I personally use silicone lubricant then just grab at the end of the barrel and do one quick sweep
If yoy are worried about a pellet shortage it might be worth investing in a pellet making press, sure they cost a fair bit but over time youll make your money back, they can also make slugs in pretty much any caliber you want, all you need is lead wire which you can make yourself with two half aluminium block cnc'd or milled a channel into it so when mated together they create a lead wire that way you dont have to buy lead wore on a spool from the manufacturers who sell the press, the wire being perfectly circular isnt essential as it will be squeezed and squished into the correct shape and excess is squeezed out of a small hole built onto the press. You can go one step furthar and weigh and size the slugs/pellets (i do this with tinned pellets then seperate them into marked tins of their respective weight and gwt the most consistent accuracy that way, sure it takes a bit of time but you can do this while just chilling out or watching tv kust make sire you wash your hands with some dish soap moxed with granulated sugar to really get any particles of lead off you. You can wash the pellets before weighing and sizing but by doing that you are basically hotting diminishing returns in terms of performance ive learnt from first hand experience the best increase to accuracy is from sizing and weighing. Its not neccesary but here in the uk with our sub 12 ftlb airguns without an FAC accuracy is the most important factor to consider when it comes to any pest control or small game harvesting
Typically designed for small game however I've seen people kill bigger game with these types of air rifles. For example air rifles made by gamo shooting 1300 or 1600 fps
And thank you for putting out another original exciting video me and my buddies do test similar to this can I recommend you trying potatoes they work pretty good and pumpkins and maybe not be that impressive but it really gives you a realistic performance
Would like to see comparison at same distance of .177 and .22 air rifles (same pellets as here) both that shoot at about 800 fps to show how much penetration difference on some comparable type penetration target and also a target that shows difference in impact damage to target.
H&N make a 20 grain .177 pellet (I've forgotten the name of them) Trust me when I say you need to get some, If they suit your barrel ,well you are going to seriously enjoy them, I use them in a 12 fpe PCP rifle, all I can say is WOW! seriously powerful.
More like serious injury than lethal, but it is possible. Reminds me of that guy who tried to kill both himself and his wife with a 12 fpe springer. Apparently even a point-blank shot to the back of the head (or the roof of the mouth) probably won't kill you, assuming you're a healthy adult. It will put you in hospital though; a fractured skull isn't fun.
This is why Apex Air Solutions preaches self-defense with air arms because it's safe to use inside of a house and not pass through walls but it will definitely maime your attacker appropriately
This is not a fair test.why would you use the 177 at point blank? You wouldnt shoot any pest or game that close.wow why not just shoot both of them at 25 feet away and compare ? This was totally a waste of time to watch .very unfair test
I was hoping to find someone with the same thought I had. Glad I'm not the only one. I'm still shaking my head to why he didn't. What's the purpose of the way he did the test.
Pellet rifles are optimal for pest control a 22 or 177 can take out rats squirrels and all kinds of varmits. By no means are they a joke they can cause serious harm. Most are not as powerful as a regular rifle but they hit hard and do the job. Awesome video.
great video! can you do pellet vs jacket? a lot of people think a jacket and layers can stop a pellet. it may be able to but could do other damage. in regards to self defence.
Hay James the bologna is a pretty good medium to shoot through. Pellet Shortage? I can find Ruger, Gamo, H&N excite, Daisy, and some Crosman pellets online at Amazon and Walmart. You just have to check daily. You can order from Crosman directly and pay a couple $$ more. Even PA and AGD have some Hades in stock.
Bologna isnt a great example. Hell, its mainly water and has no muscle fiber or anything. Its basically puree meat compressed into a log and sliced.
"Bologna" ahahah it is called 'Mortadella' lmao, Bologna is just a city :D

If it travels at less than 1,250 or 1,200 fps, it travels slower than the speed of sound, it wont have that cracking sound from sonic boom. The .177 is more for target practice as it flies straight farther, the .22 is more for small game hunting as it hits harder, it would be a faster kill, being more ethical. It really depends what youre looking to use it for.
I knew the 22 went through all 5 because I could see the hole in the duct tape.
Great demo! Keep up the great work!
thanks!
Did he wash his hands before the 2nd round, or did he shoot with balogna hands ?
Mmm not sure about this you took out a pellet then you picked up another pellet said thats not it then you showed just one pellet which was a 1.77 how do we know there wasn't a .22 pellet you threw away !!
You deserve far more views. Thank you for the knowledge
I've recently purchased a Gamo Magnum .177 cal break barell.
Before I bought that, I was shooting a Benjamin Prowler .22 cal.
The difference in the cocking between the 2 rifles is like night and day.
I'm not weak by any means, but cocking the Magnum is a beast.
Other than the traditional way of cocking the gun, do you (or anybody) know of alternative ways of cocking the gun that aren't as tough?
Would oiling it help?
Any info would be appreciated...thank you!
as long as routine maintenance of lubing the piston seal, thats about it, I personally use silicone lubricant then just grab at the end of the barrel and do one quick sweep
@@STKO2011.....thank you!
yep!
If yoy are worried about a pellet shortage it might be worth investing in a pellet making press, sure they cost a fair bit but over time youll make your money back, they can also make slugs in pretty much any caliber you want, all you need is lead wire which you can make yourself with two half aluminium block cnc'd or milled a channel into it so when mated together they create a lead wire that way you dont have to buy lead wore on a spool from the manufacturers who sell the press, the wire being perfectly circular isnt essential as it will be squeezed and squished into the correct shape and excess is squeezed out of a small hole built onto the press.
You can go one step furthar and weigh and size the slugs/pellets (i do this with tinned pellets then seperate them into marked tins of their respective weight and gwt the most consistent accuracy that way, sure it takes a bit of time but you can do this while just chilling out or watching tv kust make sire you wash your hands with some dish soap moxed with granulated sugar to really get any particles of lead off you.
You can wash the pellets before weighing and sizing but by doing that you are basically hotting diminishing returns in terms of performance ive learnt from first hand experience the best increase to accuracy is from sizing and weighing.
Its not neccesary but here in the uk with our sub 12 ftlb airguns without an FAC accuracy is the most important factor to consider when it comes to any pest control or small game harvesting
Well it's processed meat. Don't compare to shooting live, raw flesh.
I love these videos keep up the great content, very informative! Great choice of target for simulating flesh!
thank you!
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Very cool and informative, thanks.
You forgot the mustard and bread and a beverage
YOU SURELY ARE THE AIRGUN SCIENTIST ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
thank you!
@@STKO2011 😂😂 I JUST LOOKED AT THE POST I MEANT TO SAY YOU SURELY ARE THE AIR GUN SCIENTIST
@@KINGBREAKBARREL all good!
The neighbors are saying that guy is out bopping his bologna again
LOL I love how you're cronometer is broken from you shooting it
Works the way it is supposed to. Just Good
Me and over a quarter million people came here to watch you plink balogna 😆
great. now i am hungery
I knew there was something funny about the pellets. I jus got back into this from 2014n my have the prices changed
yep!
You can say that again...some of these air rifles are $2-3 thousand and some pistols $1k plus
Typically designed for small game however I've seen people kill bigger game with these types of air rifles. For example air rifles made by gamo shooting 1300 or 1600 fps
The resistance on processed meat vs human live flesh is very different but i guess nobody else has done something similar so thanks and good job
And thank you for putting out another original exciting video me and my buddies do test similar to this can I recommend you trying potatoes they work pretty good and pumpkins and maybe not be that impressive but it really gives you a realistic performance
Would like to see comparison at same distance of .177 and .22 air rifles (same pellets as here) both that shoot at about 800 fps to show how much penetration difference on some comparable type penetration target and also a target that shows difference in impact damage to target.
H&N make a 20 grain .177 pellet (I've forgotten the name of them)
Trust me when I say you need to get some,
If they suit your barrel ,well you are going to seriously enjoy them, I use them in a 12 fpe PCP rifle, all I can say is WOW! seriously powerful.
They also make a 30 grain .22 pellet called "Piledriver" that thing is a beast.
Here in the UK we can only have 12 ft/lbs maximum without a licence but they are still lethal potentially nice one subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
More like serious injury than lethal, but it is possible. Reminds me of that guy who tried to kill both himself and his wife with a 12 fpe springer. Apparently even a point-blank shot to the back of the head (or the roof of the mouth) probably won't kill you, assuming you're a healthy adult.
It will put you in hospital though; a fractured skull isn't fun.
Awesome videos. Can't believe I've never come across your channel before now keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
This is why Apex Air Solutions preaches self-defense with air arms because it's safe to use inside of a house and not pass through walls but it will definitely maime your attacker appropriately
Idk, my .22 went through 2 layers of leather, a 5 gal bucket, a metal popcorn tin, a sheet of osb and my solid wood door with a hornet pellet.
Thanks for the info 👍
This is a good test. Subscribed.
This is not a fair test.why would you use the 177 at point blank? You wouldnt shoot any pest or game that close.wow why not just shoot both of them at 25 feet away and compare ? This was totally a waste of time to watch .very unfair test
I was hoping to find someone with the same thought I had. Glad I'm not the only one. I'm still shaking my head to why he didn't. What's the purpose of the way he did the test.
He explains why if you opened your ears a little more
That was so they hit with the same kinetic energy, you dunces. Those numbers are not pretty decprations for your phone screen. SMFH.
@@oddhuman5031 test was a fail
Glad im not the only one thats struggles to open bologna packs
This video has made me very hungry for some reason.
You shot your Chrono?
Aye thanks for keeping up with postinf
Thanks!
Thus the Bologna-pound (b-lb) became a unit of muzzle energy.
So what is the overall best air rifle under 400$ that is not PCP and .22 cal ?
Weihrauch
Thank you for the data
My 5 lbs of baloney is also about a foot long ......
Dude. I couldn't help to bust out laughing.
Pellet rifles are optimal for pest control a 22 or 177 can take out rats squirrels and all kinds of varmits. By no means are they a joke they can cause serious harm. Most are not as powerful as a regular rifle but they hit hard and do the job. Awesome video.
The pellet didn’t really go through five lbs of bologna.
What if you had a single 100 lb disk of bologna but it was only 1/4 in thick?
great video! can you do pellet vs jacket? a lot of people think a jacket and layers can stop a pellet. it may be able to but could do other damage. in regards to self defence.
Thanks! I'll see what I can do
Hay James the bologna is a pretty good medium to shoot through. Pellet Shortage? I can find Ruger, Gamo, H&N excite, Daisy, and some Crosman pellets online at Amazon and Walmart. You just have to check daily. You can order from Crosman directly and pay a couple $$ more. Even PA and AGD have some Hades in stock.
Thanks, at the time of the recording Predator Int'l, online retailers, and my local stores were out of everything
Great video, this! The guy sure knows what he's talking about. I will visit this channel again.
Who shot the chronograph haha.
friend of mine, in a past video luckily it still works!
Lol that chroney took its fair share of 'Hits"
Ty budy for the video content :-) great job!
