[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1660233, member: 9308"] I'm a fan of heavier pellets, too. They smack things with that much more authority and keep the velocity of my .22 springer sub-sonic, which helps quiet things. I really like the PCP guns for their ability to be short (bullpup?), their ability to easily shoot with a scope (don't have the issues of weird, scope destroying recoil of a springer), and their 'quietness'. I just don't care for the 'infrastructure' needed to shoot them. (Pump? Air tank? Air filter to remove water? How long can it sit there, full, and still be usable? Seal issues? Corrosion issues?) The springer may be 'crude' in comparison, but it can literally just sit there for years, ready to go in an instant with a bending of the barrel and loading of a pellet. And then...it can be put back in the corner for the next time a 'varmint' needs a trip to the pearly gates. [/QUOTE]
