22 in your garage? Why not? You don't need ears but I would wear eyes just because you never know, a ricochet to the eye would suck. The VFW hall a couple of suburbs away has a very nice range in their basement and you cannot hear reports upstairs. It used to be fairly common, especially if your father was in WW2 or Korea. That could be a point of those things, I have a friend who has a range setup in their basement and you would never know it even if you lived next door. My nephews and nieces weren't standing in line at pot dispensaries at 6AM yesterday morning because pot became legal. While my sister in law was initially pretty pissed that her kids became "gun nuts" because of their uncle (me), she's pretty proud that her youngest is probably going to become an FBI agent.įor 15 years+ she thought I was a bad influence on her kids and now I call my niece Clarice. If she sticks to that plan I don't think she will have any problems with FBI firearms training. My god daughter has one more year left of college in forensic psychology and then she's off to Quantico. They knew gun safety and what Kentucky windage was before I ever took them to a live fire range.
#COLIBRI GUN HOW TO#
My nephews and nieces learned how to shoot in my yard with that Gamo into my compost bin. In urban or suburban areas you cannot just set up an outdoor range with a berm behind the house. By the time you take them to a range they are already used to handling firearms and shooting, they aren't going to be like that big chested girl in that video who is a danger to herself and others. You are in your house so you don't have to take a kid to a range where they might get rattled. While my father had some fairly decent pellet guns, the real crash course in gun safety comes from an actual firearm. Especially if you are trying to teach say kids gun safety. 22 rounds, I think those no charge Colibri's are fine for that set up. While I think your POI will be way different with actual. It was more fun the shooting the Gamo which I think hits 1500fps, it's no toy. 22s, dumped the powder and just shot the primers. 22s.Įven though you are just shooting the primer with that Colibri, it's more fun then shooting a pellet gun. As kids we all started out on match grade pellet guns and then moved to. When I was growing up my father had a range in the basement, a few of his friends also did.

I have a Gamo Adult air gun that is more powerful then most. 22 shell and a mini marshmallow both with one shot each. At 10-15 yards it is so accurate that my 12 year old granddaughter was able to hit an empty. The granddaughters love to shoot with this ammo because it is quiet and no kick to the shoulder. It's actually from compressing the air trapped between the two bullets, the second bullet doesn't impact the squibbed bullet all that hard as the air compression rapidly slows it down.I think it's because you can. 22 ammo is great for youth and adults too. Was easy to feel the bulge when pushing patches through, but was virtually impossible feel or see externally. I bulged my 10/22 with a squib, but it didn't have any effect on the rifle. I've made some calls but still haven't found a source of Aguila here in Victoria. I've wrecked a barrel with a 22LR squib, even with the thickness of a bull barrel the pressure created when a new projectile slams into a squib is at crazy levels and can easily bulge any barrel and wreck its accuracy.

I've never measured anything under 275fps (a jacketed 173gn. It verges on barely making it out the muzzle. S&B Short is rated at 920fps, but makes just over 600fps in my 18" rifles. So I gather this ammo is useless except perhaps for a pistol.Īll of those "CB" or "gallery" loads are better in shorter barrels. Pushed it out with a cleaning rod and the 2nd shot was a repeat of the 1st. The bullet lodged about 2½" from the muzzle of my LA101. Sure enough, when I looked down the bore there was no light at the end of the tunnel. I smiled and thought, this is cool.īy chance I thought to myself I better check to see if it made it out of the barrel. 22lr ammo today out of curiosity.ġst shot was super quiet, as in you hear the firing pin quiet.
