Has anyone had the chance to play around with one of these bad boys? There are a couple of Chinese companies, along with a Korean company (Shinsung) that make 9 mm air rifles, and they can launch an 80 grain projectile to 900 fps, which packs more punch than a .32 ACP cartridge.

What's more intriguing to me, is that the Shinsung also has the ability to "dial down" the power level, in addition to it being a repeater.

On another note, I guess I've fallen behind the times, seeing that Shinsung also makes a .50 air rifle...

Aye, reckon so. People get hurt badly enough when 'ordinary' air weapons are mishandled or not treated with adequate respect; lord knows what one of those'd do!

{has flashbacks to when a school-friend of mine got careless with his air-rifle and shot a dart through the hair on the top of my head}
