This is why air rifles aren't toys, they are serious hunting tools for small game.

My wife was watching this with me and had to laugh. She said "Typical male". Tape measure shows 9" and he says it's about a ft long. LOL :)

It's nice to see someone actually comparing the pellets equally by foot-pounds generated. My experience has been that the type of Crosman pellets you used don't expand because of the combination of materials the pellet is made of. These are the type of pellet I have used to take quite a few cottontails. Good video.

Anytime I have questions about my air rifle I always check your videos out first James. Always lots of information and explanations on so many air gun topics. Great video!

A simple demonstration with the conclusion unlike a lot of other demos. NICE JOB.

I'm brand new to airgunning, and I can definitely say without hesitation that I love everything about it. Sorta wish I picked up the hobby years ago. But I find your videos to be great and I've already learned a lot from you. Thanks!

Bologna isnt a great example. Hell, its mainly water and has no muscle fiber or anything. Its basically puree meat compressed into a log and sliced.

No Bologna was harmed during the making of this film.

You deserve far more views. Thank you for the knowledge

I love these videos keep up the great content, very informative! Great choice of target for simulating flesh!

I see you’ve also have shot your chronograph. Always a shock when it happens. Bullet hole is a reminder about the difference between bore height and optics height.

How fast was the pellet going when you shot the hell out of your cronometer?

Ty budy for the video content :-) great job!

Recently received my first air rifle from my father for Christmas. Got to say I love the bloody thing it's a .177 it's the highest UK law will let you have without a gun licence. I shot a couple of cans of the top of my back wall. One of the pellets hit the wall with such force it took the top of the wall off. The wall is made of pure concrete btw. I've had a look online to see the wounds a .177 can deal and it's really nasty the only thing that seems to stop the pellets are bones. Air guns are no joke.

Your videos are dope brother!!! Thanks for making them!

You are quite knowledgeable, I would say to anyone new to airgunning, watch this man's videos to become familiar with the nuances of the sport that you may otherwise never know, knowledge is indeed power. Thank you for a very good video.

And thank you for putting out another original exciting video me and my buddies do test similar to this can I recommend you trying potatoes they work pretty good and pumpkins and maybe not be that impressive but it really gives you a realistic performance

Fascinating, never would've guessed you'd get these results

Awesome videos. Can't believe I've never come across your channel before now keep them coming

Bologna usually comes pre-killed.

The most practical air gun videos on youtube right here folks. Thanks for making them.

That pologna stuff really does not represent flesh/meat. Get Yourself a chunk of pork leg (with skin) and re-visit this experiment.

I own a Gamo Whisper Swarm 10X .22 and I love it !! I want to get the .177 Gamo Magnum 10X next. Looking forward to your videos.

Me and my cousin used to hunt squirrel in the same zone as you in atterbury, and that’s how we found you on here. I’m we first watched around 2013 and I hadn’t seen anything for about 5 years . I recall you having about 200 subs. So 5 years later looking you up to see you’ve climbed all the way to 30K is badass man. Congrats.

Needs two layers of t-shirt in the front, two layers in the back, wrapped in a leather jacket, and to be backed by a new and improved, high tech fleece bullet stop.

This is a good test. Subscribed.

You do the best reviews. You give real life useful tests that someone can actually relate to sir

Always look forward to my bologna and pellet sandwiches 😍🤣

Great demo! Keep up the great work!

So cool. I have 2 Gamo air rifles. Gamo Hunter Extreme 1250 Gamo Hunter Extreme 1650 I knew that they are deadly. I just didn’t know how deadly that they both were. Very informative.

Hey what is the advertised fps on that .22 and what are you getting at the muzzle thanks :)

You just gained a new sub. Great information. You're correct, people really do underestimate the power of a modern air rifle. I had a pest opossum on my property. One evening I decided to see if my Gamo Swarm Maxxim .177 would stop the problem. About dusk, I set up and waited. The little bugger came out of cover and headed for the crawlspace. I spotlighted him and snapped my fingers to get its attention. He stopped, looking for the sound. 1 shot right between the peepers. That critter didn't even flinch. Just froze, dropped on his side and didn't even kick. He weighed 7 3/4 pounds. No more critter.

A pellet shortage?! The world has gone mad! Air rifles have gotten so much better since I was a kid. You can actually take small game with them. Amazing.

Have also noticed this pellet shortage, just bought a game varmit the other day and was shocked my local fleet farm was OUT of .177 pellets, however the Walmart in the next town had a decent selection

Question I have a gamo 975 22cl 5.5 Is that strong enough to kill a iguana lizard

One of the most nasty hollow points you can get that fragmented at almost any velocity in any caliber is the RWS super hollow points it's such a soft lead that even at low velocity is it just splits apart I hope you try this pellet it's nasty and pump up springers and nitro piston don't know about pcps but it's a really good pellet RWS super points

Aye thanks for keeping up with postinf

Air rifles have always been a passion of mine. I am waiting for the day that they start legislation against them like the government does with firearms. I have several air rifles that are at strategic locations in my home for home protection. I hate it for the poor fucker that tries to break in my home.

I personally use the Crosman.177 destroyer pellets. They are a hollow point with a tip inside, thing is gnarly. Would love to see them tested out some time on the channel

I recently started shooting blocks of wet clay avout the size and thickness of 7 or 8 decks of cards lined up. You get a really nice impact opening and wound channel, kind of like ballistic gel that freezes into impact shape. Personally though I think a phone vook is the best analog.. Take a panel sat upright... Hang the phone book through the back 50 or so pages near the spine in a way that makes the book hang spine up from the panel flatly, as it would rest on a table. You want the edges to be squared up when hanging freely. When the pellets enter you see a wound path and indication more in line with real game. The thin paper also sustains damage beyond the pellet rest point to indicate bruising from force. Give it a try.

I was really surprised it went through all five, especially after a plastic / duct tape skin 😳

LOL I love how you're cronometer is broken from you shooting it

My friend just got a Gamo rifle and started testing in my yard and started shooting but some bounce in the wood where we shot, any tips for a solid shot? What material? And is it legal to shoot in house or its necessary for a shooting range?

LOL at 4:11 "crony issues" you think with all that holes in it that it still would work perfectly LOL... still really like your channel keep it up

I am looking to get a air rifle for hunting squirrels, rabbits and raccoons. Which air rifle do you recommend 500 or less. I also want to be able to replace parts as the go bad over time. I would like one that is powerful, and very accurate . Thanks Jeff .

Very cool and informative, thanks. You forgot the mustard and bread and a beverage

In Canada, that there is 40 bucks worth of bologna .... Thanks for the show ...

Very cool. Would like to see this done with Gamo Red Fire, PBA Raptor or similar higher end ammo.

So what is the overall best air rifle under 400$ that is not PCP and .22 cal ?

In wich episode u have the test with shooting the cronometer?

That thumb nail will give politicians reason to start wanting to put bans on air rifles.

Typically designed for small game however I've seen people kill bigger game with these types of air rifles. For example air rifles made by gamo shooting 1300 or 1600 fps

The 16 grain H&N hornet pellets I shoot from my Diana model 34 classic .22 air rifle would penetrate through all 5 pounds of the bologna and leave a nasty wound channel the way they penetrate and expand. I recently ordered me another tin of 200 of them from pyramyd air because there is a shortage and they was out of stock a spell

I would still fry up that Bologna with Eggs and Potatoes! 🍳

With all the pcp hype it’s nice to see a springer

Thanks for the info 👍

Good video as usual.just received 5000 rounds 177 hollow point.

Awesome video buddy 👍🍻

What is the best 12ft lbs in your opinion?

great video! can you do pellet vs jacket? a lot of people think a jacket and layers can stop a pellet. it may be able to but could do other damage. in regards to self defence.

Note to self: don’t wear 4lbs of Bologne as body armour

Great video, this! The guy sure knows what he's talking about. I will visit this channel again.

Great video thanks

Wow i haven't seen that gamo till now. It's a lil slow but I like that reloading mechanism. It's awesome. I

This is the first test I have seen of yours that interests me. You have a consistent density target, you controlled the energy at the target well, You are using 2 different calibers with the same model pellet. I am at min 4:34 right now, taking apart the meat after each has hit it with equal energy, and I will predict. You controlled all the factors I can think of pretty well, and what we learn from the penetration should be pretty valid. Which one made more penetration? I am going to say they are about the same. Gonna see now. :)

Thanks for making this video. I haven’t seen bologna as a shooting medium before, lol!

Hollow points are hunting pellets meant for high muzzle energy guns. My 7.5 joule 240 classic is better off firing wadcutters for quicker energy transfer to target.

Would like to see comparison at same distance of .177 and .22 air rifles (same pellets as here) both that shoot at about 800 fps to show how much penetration difference on some comparable type penetration target and also a target that shows difference in impact damage to target.

If yoy are worried about a pellet shortage it might be worth investing in a pellet making press, sure they cost a fair bit but over time youll make your money back, they can also make slugs in pretty much any caliber you want, all you need is lead wire which you can make yourself with two half aluminium block cnc'd or milled a channel into it so when mated together they create a lead wire that way you dont have to buy lead wore on a spool from the manufacturers who sell the press, the wire being perfectly circular isnt essential as it will be squeezed and squished into the correct shape and excess is squeezed out of a small hole built onto the press. You can go one step furthar and weigh and size the slugs/pellets (i do this with tinned pellets then seperate them into marked tins of their respective weight and gwt the most consistent accuracy that way, sure it takes a bit of time but you can do this while just chilling out or watching tv kust make sire you wash your hands with some dish soap moxed with granulated sugar to really get any particles of lead off you. You can wash the pellets before weighing and sizing but by doing that you are basically hotting diminishing returns in terms of performance ive learnt from first hand experience the best increase to accuracy is from sizing and weighing. Its not neccesary but here in the uk with our sub 12 ftlb airguns without an FAC accuracy is the most important factor to consider when it comes to any pest control or small game harvesting

Here in the UK we can only have 12 ft/lbs maximum without a licence but they are still lethal potentially nice one subbed!

Pellet rifles are optimal for pest control a 22 or 177 can take out rats squirrels and all kinds of varmits. By no means are they a joke they can cause serious harm. Most are not as powerful as a regular rifle but they hit hard and do the job. Awesome video.

Damn that’s lethal

I noticed that the crony was damaged. Any issues?

You've shot your chrono pretty often haven't you?

The resistance on processed meat vs human live flesh is very different but i guess nobody else has done something similar so thanks and good job

Thank you for the data

Have any bread and cheese and mustard, your video got me hungry lol, great video.

Great video

This is why Apex Air Solutions preaches self-defense with air arms because it's safe to use inside of a house and not pass through walls but it will definitely maime your attacker appropriately

I have both .177 & .22 rifles my grandad gave me there both made by webley and there old rifles he bought them in the 1950s

This is not a fair test.why would you use the 177 at point blank? You wouldnt shoot any pest or game that close.wow why not just shoot both of them at 25 feet away and compare ? This was totally a waste of time to watch .very unfair test

good thing the chrono made it safely this time

Should it solved if .20 pellets and maybe luxe heavy .177 pellets what same impact energy as .22 with more high velocity as .177?

H&N make a 20 grain .177 pellet (I've forgotten the name of them) Trust me when I say you need to get some, If they suit your barrel ,well you are going to seriously enjoy them, I use them in a 12 fpe PCP rifle, all I can say is WOW! seriously powerful.

It would be interesting to compare penetration comparison between 177, 22 pellet and a .22 short rim fire 🤔

In the first round the 22 cal went all the way through you can see the exit hole in the duct tape. Cool demo

Great idea. Try the same thing at say 20 yds with the sub 12 gun. That would be interesting. I shoot sub 12 breakbarrel. I don’t have a chrony. But I can kill a lot of pests at that distance. It would be interesting (at least to me lol) to know what the power and speed would be at that distance.

I'm new to airguns. I have a gamo .177 caliber @ 1420 FPS, should I switch to a .22?

3:57 what scope is that?

22 is no joke.. serious piece of kit

Wow, I saw the baloney and suddenly I wanted a fried bologna sandwich with Dukes mayo 😂😂

I personally think you should have used a muscle meat versus baloney to be a true representation of what the penetration would be although definitely more expensive to do. Thanks for the demo.

Nice job shooting your chronograph

Lol that chroney took its fair share of 'Hits"

can one shot these pellets in a Chiappa Rhino co2 pellet revolver?! thanks and where can one purchase these pellets?!

It does not look like the pellets expanded much at 9:22. You might try this with round nose pellets and see how they compare to the hollow point. I would expect them to penetrate better, but I don't know if it would be enough to be significant. Everyone says pointed pellets are the best for penetration, but I have my doubts how much difference that little point makes. The point is easily damaged and that will upset the balance of the pellet and affect accuracy. That's my thought anyway, but I have not seen any data to backi it up. Comparing penetration of the three styles would be an interesting video.

Hay James the bologna is a pretty good medium to shoot through. Pellet Shortage? I can find Ruger, Gamo, H&N excite, Daisy, and some Crosman pellets online at Amazon and Walmart. You just have to check daily. You can order from Crosman directly and pay a couple $$ more. Even PA and AGD have some Hades in stock.

I know what rifle I'm buying for next time I'm off boloney hunting!
