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.
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
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.
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 :)
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 !!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 want to set up wood/lumber the same way you would for knife/axe-throwing. With the end-grain/“cut-face” facing you/being shot. Akin to chopping/splitting wood via cross cutting vs ripping. Aka- wedging itself in between wood grains by being parallel to it… vs perpendicular to wood grain and having to actually pierce lumber as opposed to using woods natural anstomy make up to your advantage. Like… splitting vs cutting. Another good more simple example I guess. Can really only do this with a bunch of cut off ends of 4 by 4’s or some other beam. Then stack them together to make a wall with all the cut end grain exposed and facing you
Things get wedged in between/make their way into the wood/wood fibers about a thousand times easier this way. I suppose with things going that much deeper that much more easily, Shooting say an arrow at it may be more difficult to get back out since it will go in much further a lot easier. But yeah no bb/pellet will ever ricochet off of the cut off end grain of lumber like that, everything will nestle up in there easily. It will also definitely make things when they hit the lumber significantly more quiet too now that I think about it. Almost like you’re hitting something squishy.
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!
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.
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
You did awesome making this. No boring parts. I have always wondered if it was worth firing my break barrel Ruger 1200 fps as a first deterrent to an intruder before going lethal with a shotgun. Great knowledge to have. Thanks
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.
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
This is the first test I have seen of yours that interests me. You have a consistent density target, you controlled the energy at the target well, You are using 2 different calibers with the same model pellet. I am at min 4:34 right now, taking apart the meat after each has hit it with equal energy, and I will predict. You controlled all the factors I can think of pretty well, and what we learn from the penetration should be pretty valid. Which one made more penetration? I am going to say they are about the same. Gonna see now. :)
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
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.
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.
Presumably because there's a lot of demand for lead right now and pellets don't go bad even if stored in less than ideal conditions, so great for end-of-the-world hoarding.
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.
@@STKO2011 TBH I HAVEN'T BEEN LOOKIN OR TRIED.I BEEN LOADIN UP ON ALL CALIBERS SINCE 2013 WHEN OSAMA OBAMA WAS SELLIN US OUT.I ACTUALLY STOPPED BUYIN ALL TYPES O LEAD ALMOST A YEAR AGO.BUT I AM READY FOR WAR(AGAIN).I'M GOIN TA BIMART TODAY I WILL LOOK THO.I'M IN CENTR.ORE BTW.
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
I am looking to get a air rifle for hunting squirrels, rabbits and raccoons. Which air rifle do you recommend 500 or less. I also want to be able to replace parts as the go bad over time. I would like one that is powerful, and very accurate . Thanks Jeff .
Interesting, but to tell you the truth, you should NOT do this type of shooting where you have no way to STOP the projectle, there was a car at the other side, is good to have confidence on your self but is better to have better caution for others.
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.
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.
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.
My Hatsan 125 Vortex Camo in .22 was shooting Predator Poly shorts so deep in tree’s I couldn’t recover the pellet...28FPE! With JSB Hades that Hatsan put the most humane kill on a squirrel I’ve seen anywhere! Only at 23yds but still, it must’ve severed his spine somewhere but he was dead on impact... no disco dancing just lights out. I’m gonna do a coconut test and see if it goes through that. Any idea on why the pellet shortage?
factories were shut down, no pellets were made, factories now open people are buying them up quickly and leaves none for people who casually buy them online or in store
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
@@βιζζγΚιδ Never had wild game? Even when it's processed there's always a tiny bit of lead leftover. Something like this there would be the same- very little. Heavy metal poisoning is also additive. As long as this isn't done often there's basically no risk. Any lead dust is completely removed in the firing process and the likelihood of any lead being transferred to boneless meat directly from the pellets is quite low.
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
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.

You forgot the mustard and bread and a beverage
Fun test but no spread..aren’t they supposed to?
Why is there a pellet shortage
Presumably because there's a lot of demand for lead right now and pellets don't go bad even if stored in less than ideal conditions, so great for end-of-the-world hoarding.
I'm new to airguns. I have a gamo .177 caliber @ 1420 FPS, should I switch to a .22?
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.
PELLETT SHORTAGE?
Yep? Have you not had any trouble with finding pellets? Predator Int'l confirmed this...and I cant find any local...
@@STKO2011 I've had no problems at all. Haver purchased about 2,000 pellets this past month in 3 different shapes.
@@STKO2011 TBH I HAVEN'T BEEN LOOKIN OR TRIED.I BEEN LOADIN UP ON ALL CALIBERS SINCE 2013 WHEN OSAMA OBAMA WAS SELLIN US OUT.I ACTUALLY STOPPED BUYIN ALL TYPES O LEAD ALMOST A YEAR AGO.BUT I AM READY FOR WAR(AGAIN).I'M GOIN TA BIMART TODAY I WILL LOOK THO.I'M IN CENTR.ORE BTW.
How convenient ammo shortage, now a pellet shortage. Anything that can be used for self-defense

Now you need to eat that stuff so you can save your money for a new Crony.
Good penetration . Not much expansion. U did sa HP's.?
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!
I am looking to get a air rifle for hunting squirrels, rabbits and raccoons. Which air rifle do you recommend 500 or less. I also want to be able to replace parts as the go bad over time. I would like one that is powerful, and very accurate . Thanks Jeff .
LOL I love how you're cronometer is broken from you shooting it
Awesome video buddy 👍🍻
Thanks!
Awesome videos. Can't believe I've never come across your channel before now keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
This is a good test. Subscribed.
Interesting, but to tell you the truth, you should NOT do this type of shooting where you have no way to STOP the projectle, there was a car at the other side, is good to have confidence on your self but is better to have better caution for others.
direction I was shooting is over 1/2 mile to next road and I was shooting downward?
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.
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
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.
Did you eat the bologna after the test???
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
His wife is like will you quit shooting all the Bologna 😂😂
What months are discount lunch meats in season in your state?
The moment you realize that no gun was able to match Lewis and Clark's airgun
My Hatsan 125 Vortex Camo in .22 was shooting Predator Poly shorts so deep in tree’s I couldn’t recover the pellet...28FPE! With JSB Hades that Hatsan put the most humane kill on a squirrel I’ve seen anywhere! Only at 23yds but still, it must’ve severed his spine somewhere but he was dead on impact... no disco dancing just lights out. I’m gonna do a coconut test and see if it goes through that. Any idea on why the pellet shortage?
factories were shut down, no pellets were made, factories now open people are buying them up quickly and leaves none for people who casually buy them online or in store
Have any bread and cheese and mustard, your video got me hungry lol, great video.
Thank you!
So what is the overall best air rifle under 400$ that is not PCP and .22 cal ?
Weihrauch
Well it's processed meat. Don't compare to shooting live, raw flesh.
Ty budy for the video content :-) great job!
From this entire experiment I am left with 1 critical question... Did u still eat the bologna?
Should it solved if .20 pellets and maybe luxe heavy .177 pellets what same impact energy as .22 with more high velocity as .177?
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
I'm still trying to learn this ..
I have both .177 & .22 rifles my grandad gave me there both made by webley and there old rifles he bought them in the 1950s
I knew the 22 went through all 5 because I could see the hole in the duct tape.
Your video was well done. Thank u.
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Your videos are dope brother!!! Thanks for making them!
I appreciate that!
Seriously, what happened to the description?
👋🏾 interesting video. You have a lot of bologna sandwiches 🥪 to eat “want not waste not” brotha 👊🏾😎
Thanks!
Ya because leaded bologna is super healthy.
@@βιζζγΚιδ Never had wild game? Even when it's processed there's always a tiny bit of lead leftover. Something like this there would be the same- very little. Heavy metal poisoning is also additive. As long as this isn't done often there's basically no risk. Any lead dust is completely removed in the firing process and the likelihood of any lead being transferred to boneless meat directly from the pellets is quite low.
@@disturbeddemons1 no 1 I was being sarcastic no 2 dont assume that you know more than others I was born with a 22 and an 06 in each hand. Lol
good thing the chrono made it safely this time
So 5lbs of bologna can be substituted with a cat?
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.
Aye thanks for keeping up with postinf
Thanks!
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.
Thanks!
