Could they ?

Tue May 05, 2015 7:08 pm

Air Arms have introduced three nice new rifles into their range.

The FTP900, the HFT500 and the Ultimate Sporter. Could they add to these with a sub 12FPE Semi-auto ?
It would be a nice addition to their 3 new rifles.

tbh. Im not a fan of semi-auto. the fx semi-auto is as ugly as john terry lifting the prem lge title. also speed shooting a semi-auto will make at best 4inch groups.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless.

No problem with accuracy. The lads using them for LSR appear to like them. Mr Steyr was shooting clays with one :lol:

Reports from people who have them say the accuracy is outstanding.

I saw a vid from teds hold over on the semi-auto fx. the gun was spot on. but as soon as he speed shot it the groups were bad. seems like they are fine if you give a little time between shots. but ted shot his like a uzi :lol:

No problem with the legality of sub12FPE air rifles in this country.

Air rifles not classed as "Specially dangerous" are not subject to Section 5 restrictions, or for that matter Section 1. They are excluded.
