Battery powered air rifle

[lowmalziepete]

Hi, purely in interest , I've been browsing the forums and searching to see if anyone had posted about a battery powered air rifle that was a thing many moons ago. I remember seeing one and marveling at how ingenious it was , if sadly a little noisy though I can't mind who made it or what it looked like now . Does anyone still have one, pictures etc . Purely for nostalgia lol

I don't remember much about it but I think it was the Browning Airstar... I could be wrong though.

That's the one

That's the one.
A springer that was cocked by battery power

 

[lowmalziepete]

Does anyone use one. I remember with amusement the racket it made. Ghillie suited up and clunking and whirring away lol

Here you go.

That's me not lol. Superb sound effects

Certainly a good idea for people unable to cock a rifle.

I know few shooters with shoulder problems who would like to shoot springers but can’t.

Yes, back when PCP was exotic

Thanks for that. I couldn't find anything on it as I didn't know what it was called. Henry Krank has a matched pair brand new .......hmmm!

Has anyone ever built a gun built around a paslode system, using battery power to ignite gas to provide propulsion

 

[lowmalziepete]

I suspect it's feasible but illegal

If they did,they would have nailed it

Reckon it would be a tac driver

Not an air rifle, but definitely battery powered

Can I get one of these on a Scottish airgun certificate?
