That infantile response is not an acceptance of the role you played in the build up to the shootings.Nom nom nom!!

If it was adjustable over 12 ftlb then it would have been an FAC weapon.
I'm curious. Do they get charged with a disposable bottle of compressed gas? Does accuracy decrease as the reservoir loses pressure and trajectory becomes more droopy?If you're hunting then most people will use a Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) rifle these days - many of which are multishot (my Hatsan has an 18 shot magazine and my Coyote has a 10 shot magazine) - fitted with a good suppressor. The old springers are too noisy and slow to reload.
Thanks.You charge from a large air cylinder into a reservoir on the gun.
You will see a drop in power as the reservoir pressure drops below a certain level. That said, I can get about 100 shots off from a single fill of the Hassan without any real loss of power.

Thanks Rocky. I'll be round yours for the plane ticketsAll you have to do is get to the shores of Lake Malawi.
The laws in Malawi are not exactly liberal.I think he'd enjoy your company - he's missing intelligent conversation, humour and culture.
Oh, and he played for Cambridge University U21s rugby side when he was at Fitz.....so we'd have no worries about your reputation.![]()
Typical muzzle energy for a Lee Enfield 0.303 round is about 2000ft/lb. A bit of a cannon really.
Sounds a great job.No!! Indeed. Religion and superstition play a major part in society as well. He's spent the last six years working round the globe in places like Madagascar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Honduras and Belize - fitting in, not getting noticed and avoiding confrontation are all essential tools in his profession (he's a marine biologist).
It's amazing to think that the 0.303 was introduced in 1895 and is still used by the Bangladesh police. The recoil took a bit of getting used to. I eventually gave up shooting with them because I was convinced the noise was doing seriously bad things to my hearing. I'd come off the range not being able to hear anything for an hour or so apart from a loud ringing in my ears. Ear defender technology was pretty primitive back then.ahhh, my old Army cadet days at school. We were still using them in the late 80's, I think we did get a few slr's towards the end of my time but I may be mistaken, certainly fired them though. Hang on what came after that, a green and black thing. (now googled and it was the SA80).

Awesome rifle. I shot many competitions with one when I was a youngster. In fact in 1981 I was Oxfordshire u18 champion. Huge field, I scored three points more than the only other junior entrant!Indeed the recoil was somewhat lively, we also used a larger riffle for target shooting on the ranges, I think it was related to the Lee Enfield .303. Knicknamed the elephant gun, a hazy recollection of it beeing .450 or .50. Sounds a bit too big though. I'll check with a pal of mine.
Edit to say it was 7.62 Parker Hale.![]()
