Is it possible to die from an air riffle?

School is out for the summer, boys!

Yes. It's a chunk of metal going very fast.
>>
>>30114797
Buy one and try it. Make sure you get a good one.

>air rifles are not /k/

that's where you're wrong, pinhead
>>
>>30114865
That's not the point. The point is that it's a stupid fucking question.

>Is it possible to die from high velocity lead projectiles?

Depends, a high end rifle is close to a 22lr and there is all sorts of higher caliber air rifles that match the performance of a handgun in their caliber.

Even a cheap .22 pellet gun shoot in the head could fuck you up pretty bad, if hit in the nape it could break your spinal cord and leave you paraplegic

pretty sure Lewis and Clark used an air rifle instead of a conventional weapon on their expedition.

Are you a rabbit?

If so then yes, very possible....
>>
>>30114933
Is some company making repros of Giradonis?
>>
>>30114948
They did. As a practical measure for lack of/reliability of gunpowder, and weight.

>>30115179
Giradoni. Aren't they still making air rifles?
>>
>>30115198
I think they stopped in somewhere after Napoleonic wars because those rifles were expensive to make
>>
>>30114865
Yay, a dipshit literally changed every word said.

>>30114883
Exactly.
>>
>>30114797

Yup. My buddy's ex's ex got drunk and shot himself in the chest with one. Hit his heart, pretty much instant death. We all kinda wanted to feel bad, but it's a pretty dumb way to go, and he was a dick anyways

Air pellet hunting is the biggest meme on this planet
>shoot squirrel in ass
>shoot rabbit in thigh
>runs off and you never see it again
at least with a .22 you'll incapacitate it
>>
>>30115312
Okay so don't shoot it in the ass or thigh.
>>
>>30115312

Meme has truly lost all meaning.
>Hurr shoot a rabbit or squirrel and it runs off.
Don't use toys to hunt then.

Guess this airgun didn't kill this buffalo.
>>
yes if it falls from high enough.
>>
>>30115236
I guess so. After a Google search I couldn't find any. I swear I saw an advertisement not long ago for one.
>>
>>30115740
I saw some survival website market a break barrel .22 air rifle as a "Girandoni" a while ago. I'm not sure who actually made it.
