Air rifles and Air soft guns are not the same thing at all. Comercially avaliable have the muzzle energy of a .22.
And according to one poster on here, though he denies it now, and air rifle and a AR-15 are the same technology.
You would be the only ignorant fool who would say such a thing...but then you have a long history of saying stupid things. What I said was that air is a gas. What I said was that bullets are expelled from a ar-15 by the action of gas pressure. What I said was that an air rifle expells its bullet by action of gas pressure.
Jesus you are phoquing stupid.
Hummm, Thompson, you're being a little hyper sensitive. Sorta like a girl. What you said is correct. But, what Bama said doesn't have anything to do with what you said. Ease off the meds.
, sorry, you are correct when I read it again. Of course all projectiles are expelled from a barrel with gas pressure. Whether developed from a bicycle pump or burning gun powder. My mistake.
While that is true, the tech of an air rifle, and that of a gas operated automatic rifle have little in common. It is kind of like saying that a pneumatic pile driver and a hammer are the same thing.
Bama, most of the time I'm in agreement with you. Not this time. The lewis and Clark air rifle was very similar to an AR, given the state of technology. Mechnical loading in each. A reservoir of ammo in each. An expellation, if that is a word, of projectiles in each by means of gas. One was compressed air. One is the gas produced by a nitrocellulose combustion.
While there were simularities in intent and result the tech was vastly different.
One was fired by a reservour of compresed air, with the release of that air "firing" the projectile. It produced a high rate of fire with fair results.
The gas operated automatic rifle on the other hand traps some of the expended gas from the explosion and uses it to both work the action and reduce recoil. At this point you are disagreeing with both me and Thompsonx's current position, he says that only an idiot would say the technology is the same. The Girardoni (Lewis and Clark gun) had virtually no moving parts and came from a different Tech background that the modern gas opperated firearm.
I have used the Lewis and Clark gun, the Ferguson Rifle and the Bleton rifle with a 20 round detachable magazine to demonstrat that while the founders didn't have modern weapons they were guite familiar with with firearms with a high rate of fire.
