Stocking stuffers are usually an afterthought. Just pick up some small stuff and toss in an overly large non-elastic stock. Easy-peasy. No need to overly complicate the matter, but hitting a home-run on the stocking for sport shooters keeps you riding high for the rest of the winter.

In any given caliber or type of projectile launching device, there are three basic variables, the shape of the projectile, the mass of the projectile, and the force of the launch. Changing any of these variables results in different performance based upon the variable altered.

Both CO2 and spring powered air guns do need some maintenance to help ensure a long life. Keeping them clean is a big part of that care, but you do need to be careful about what you are putting in and on your air gun.

Shooting CO2 powered BB pistols has never been more fun.  There are fantastic revolvers, double action, single action, blowback, and non-blowback style pistols available to suit your fancy.  Some of these are fairly easy to load.  Some, however, are a little harder to load than others.  In this blog entry, I’ll offer some insight on loading your magazines with as little hassle as possible.

Fake News has a deception at its core but is flowered about with enough truth that it takes some skill to rightly divide truth from fiction. It is insidious, and, as I have already alluded, a story as old as time. So what does this have to do with air guns? Plenty. We’ll circle back around to this directly.

Recently the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission announced that big bore pre-charged pneumatic air rifles will be legal for hunting whitetail deer during modern gun season.

The Walther PPK is a gun that requires little introduction. If you’re here, reading this review of the Umarex PPK/S, I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that you know the PPK. We’ll get to the BB gun version shortly, but first let’s take a look at the complex history of the Walther PPK/S.
