Hey guys
I'm looking for an air pistol so that I can discretely dispatch some annoying Indian Mynahs and other avian pests that are fouling the steps and entrance to my place. It must be 4.5mm (.177) not 6mm BB. I'm looking at an Umarex Beretta 92FS but if anyone has some other recommendations I'd be interested to read them.
Get a cat
Already have one - it's old and fucked.
Get a new one
No. Far more enjoyment to be had from an air pistol than an annoying creature that I'll need to feed and water for next 15 years.
Get a stuffed one and put it on the step
I don't want another cat, stuffed or otherwise.
get an air pistol then
He might wanna stuff you and put you on the step @Gibo if you keep going.... :P :thumbsup:
But can you catch - frighten birds ?
Weihrauch HW40 or Zoraki HP01. Pneumatic driven (break the barrel to load and cock).

Ron Young at Youngs Air Guns in Dominion Rd sells them, can also deliver.

I have been known to scare a few birds in my time ;) Normally with my driving, sometimes with my drinking but most often with my stone cold stare :ORLY:
More likely it is the drool running out the corner of the mouth GiboQuote:

Its accurate as and packs quite a punch.
I no longer have a use for it. Its in mint condition and is a quality bit of kit, certainly not a toy like some others.
Google it. If you like the sound/look of it pm me an offer.
or could it be the stench of brewed sewage that some call Waikato beer !!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Listen to Gibo, get a cat :P
Our school uses Wairauch target pistols. Very powerful and reliable. About 300 dollars.
Those Webely's look the business. HW make a couple of good ones 40 and 45 I think and crosman do a 1377 and a 2240 (multi pump and CO2) slightly cheaper .
Or go all out get a dive bottle or hand pump and something by Evanix or FX - you could shoot rabbits as far as you could aim well but kiss goodbye to around $1500 Bucks.
Because you are completely familiar with my property's location and layout...Quote:

From memory it was about $250, shes due for a $20 seal kit when I get around to it
Crosman 1317 pump to charge/bolt to load.

Thanks for the input guys, I've now concluded a deal.
Get yourself a mint BSA Scorpion. .177 or .22 doesn't matter. When I was a teen, I used to smack starlings out of trees with my .22 Scorpion. They were dead before they hit the ground (mostly) :wtfsmilie:
And.... a good one will hold its value, and, you will be able to bring up the fact that you own a BSA Scorpion during casual conversation. It's a no brainer.
