The air guns have become safe queens, can't use em due to lockdown.

Although the new craze is gel blasters, particularly where you are, I started collecting them, so much fun and you can sometimes use them in your own backyard.

I know it's second rate next to our air guns but at least we can get some sort of trigger time from home.

Some of them are exact replicas like a SCAR and fitted with real metal EoTech sights the kids feel like they're shooting one of their favourite gaming guns, it's quite addictive.

They are from airsoft manufacturers that make em for the Aussie market using the gel ammo, full metal electric powered but now they are bringing in CO2 powered which I think will the nail in the coffin for them, too much realism with full auto replica pistols etc.

But you and I both know from all our experience over the years it will be short lived as this nanny country will surely ban them sooner or later, all it will take is some idiot using plastic BB's in them and then that'll be it.

Well, I’m in the throes of entering the air rifle market as soon as the lockdown ends.

Hi Andrew
Good to hear from you again
Angus went through the gel blaster phase but is now back with airguns again
I see they arrested some imbeciles with gel blasters shooting at people at Werribee I think

I spoke too soon, the idiots are already ruining it for us, in Vic these are illegal to own as they come under the replica category which I'm licensed for but we are trying to legalize them, no chance in hell with incidents like this.

Hey Lewis,

I remember you sometimes used to travel to Melb, if ever you do again, you gotta look me up and visit, even if it's a short lunch out somewhere, of course when all this is over, prob next year sometime if you have plans that is.

I put a scope on one of my lower power springers and got it sighted in last time I was out at the farm. Time for a cull.

It was not to be.

While setting up I was watching their behaviour to work out where I could conceal myself and still get a clear corridor and have a safe background. They were concentrated around the wife's rose garden, climbing on the rose stems.

The buggers were eating the aphids. So they got a reprieve because they were helping...
