RWS (German-made). Spring-Air. Cal: .177 Muzzle Valocity: 900 FPS
I use this gun for plinking and hunting small game (squirrel, rabbit, crows, rats).

Its usable range extends to 300 feet. Official Olympic target range for air rifles is 10 meters.

Extremely accurate--Ten rounds in the exact same hole at 10 meters is common for this gun. It has the same point of impact at 100 feet as it does at 30 feet.

WEIHRAUCH (German-made). Spring-Air. Cal: .177, Muzzle Valocity: 1028 FPS
I use this gun for plinking and hunting. I plink in my basement using 6 inches of balistic puddy as a back stop. I hunt small game (squirrel, rabbit, racoon crows, rats). Weighing 12 lbs, it can be a hand full after about a two-hour trek in the woods.

The usable range of this gun extends to 350 feet and it is extremely accurate. Official Olympic target range for air rifles is 10 meters. Ten rounds in the exact same hole at 10 meters is not uncommon for this gun. It has the same point of impact at 125 feet as it does at 30 feet.

There are common stories from the Korean War about 10-year-old child snipers using these guns to pick off American Soldiers while they slept. The air gun noiseless and the sniper hits were usually undetected until later when the assassinated GI would be found by his comrads.

This little plinker can be a lot of fun, but its more expensive to feed than the spring-powered plinkers. It's accuracy will certainly not win any Olympic Awards and its too loud for use in your basement especially while other occupants are occupying the house.
