 But you allready knew that didn't ya. I just wanted to warn you to watch
 out because their are folks out there that will try to slip you a Crosman
 160 or QB22 to shoot when your not paying attention. Oh yeah if this
 misfortunate should befall you just tell folks that new air gun is your
 wifes.  :^)   Keith/t >
Well, in a way you are right, it is a bit disconcerting when the airgun
doesn't jump and vibrate like a proper airgun.  Lightweight, powerful,
recoiless, accurate  just isn't playing fair now is it. That they are
available at a fraction of the cost of a halfway decent sproing-gun makes 
hem
downright anti-European.  Lets not even mention all that fun with spring
compressors, grease, etc that us American airgun shooters miss out on. 
By the way, your right again. A new 160/QB22 from MAC-1 would certainly  be
appreciated by any wife, girlfriend, daughter.  With it actually being fun to
shoot she will want to join in on the fun. With any luck at all she will 
tart
outshooting you and you might want to take a look at an Ultra-QB22 with a
Lothar Walthar barrel and special HD high performance bolt for 20 plus foot
pounds.
