The coconut test... if it will breach a coconut, it will breach a skull.

The first air gun was the Girandoni air rifle. It was designed by Italian inventor Bartolomeo Girandoni around 1779. The weapon was taken on the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore and map the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. It took LOTS of pumping to have enough air charge to fire a pellet, but it didn't depend on gun powder. Today, the air gun appears to be just hitting its stride and your channel is proof of that. I read about a fellow who put a dab of petroleum jelly on the concavity at the base of the pellet. When he "fired" the gun -- a rifle -- you could see a puff of smoke and the muzzle velocity increased to about that of a conventional .22 rifle. Remembering the gas laws that you SHOULD have learned in your high school chemistry class, when the air entered the pellet chamber, its compression caused the chamber temperature to rise to the auto-ignition point of the petroleum jelly. In other words, it burned and gave an additional kick to the pellet velocity, distance and penetrating power. The only drawback was a oily residue, which required periodic cleaning. I took this concept to the next level. I bought some magician's flash paper. It is nitro cellulose. (Other forms include flash cotton and flash string). Putting a tiny piece in the base of the pellet and firing it with my single-shot, break-barrel air rifle gave impressive results. You could hear the report from firing, see the puff of smoke and feel slight recoil . I had no way of measuring the muzzle velocity, but it seemed to have impressive distance. I put the idea aside as a defense tool since a single-shot rifle wouldn't be much use in an emergency situation. Now, with your demonstration of the PCP pistol, it is time to resurrect the idea and test it. Actually, by disclosing the concept here, I am hoping that other enthusiasts will jump on the idea and try it themselves. Best, of course, would be an easily concealable pistol with perhaps 12-shot capacity. Since air pistols are exempt from fire arm regulations, no license or registrion is required for their purchase and use. Note that ONLY compressed air, compressed pure oxygen, or probably compressed nitrous oxide, will work. Since carbon dioxide won't support combustion, a conventional CO2 cartridge isn't going to allow this concept to be functional.

you have a really good show dude!

5:13 im so so glad you mentioned this. Whilst we have guns in the uk; they are hard to get, and pistols aint allowed without a comically long barrels. Also as air guns gun we are only allowed 6 joules energy pistol and 12 for rifle type, or its a firearms license like a gun. So the last thing we got and looked for self defense (even though, technically we are not allowed too - unless "reasonable force" and i musnt have bought my weapon for self defence purposes- so i have to say i bought it as i enjoy target practice. ) - is the crossbow, and now crossbows have magazines, they are a good option over here with zero licensing or restrictions. I saw jorg sprave review that gun and I'd love one too, but im unsure of the air strength. Crossbows you can get through the mail, air guns and rifles you have to pick up at a firearms shop, no licensing, but they take your name and address.

Cool. There’s a shortage of powerful compact air pistols on the market. Thanks for shining a light on this thing. Dig your show

Amazing film making Gian! Great video 🎉

Great video! The next one you have to try is the Huben gk1 air pistol , I hear that one is even stronger with larger ammo capacity .

Great content bro.. glad to see you testing PCP Airguns

As always such a treat video. Love the Evanix Viper, hopefully sometime in the future.

Those Byrna shotgun shells are intriguing. I was a powder burner fan long before I entered the world of air guns. That being said, I believe Byrna is the Apple IPhone of the air gun world. You could do way more with Umarex 😎

Excellent air pistol! 🔫 And shooting test, bro! 😊

What a beautiful piece of engineering! Amazing that you can pump this thing up BY HAND IN UNDER A MINUTE ! O_o

As always good quality content. Happy birthday and best wishes from Romania.

Love your show dude, greetings from South Africa 👍

Happy 44th Birthday & many more! Thank you for the consistently great content.

That thing is a Monster!!!!😳🫣🤙🏼

Happy Cumpleanos albiet late Sir. Love the show and knowledge. Palm Bay Fl. Here.

Hello Alley!! Very Nice the test!! I really liked the pistols, especially the 6.35mm !! 😎👍

Great video as always. Happy birthday. Greetings from your friend in Norway😃

Another great one buddy. Like I mentioned earlier, I got this in 25cal as well and I love it. Its accurate and very powerful. Im like a little kid each time I take it out to "play" with it. You got yourself a popular channel and im very happy that people are recognizing you for the quality content your putting out. Im looking forward to seeing the Hatsan Jet2 up against the Viper...that will be awesome. See ya next week buddy...very well done!

Great video again 👍😉🇳🇱

Great video again my brother - and wishing you a very happy birthday 😎 Drew

Happy Birthday and congratulations regarding the channel! Just encouraged my daughter to subscribe as I always find something of interest in your videos.

Iam so glad for you my friend ❤️ Happy birthday 🎉 When you give a passion for what you love always be a good results... Your channel will grow and so many sponsors will want to work with you!💕 Cheers!

Thank's! I'm in stand by ,for yours vídeos with the Byrna! Excelente! Apologize my english.

I'm so excited to see what you do with the byrna. Can't wait! 🎉

Happy Birthday Brother Great Videos 🫡

Macabespeed couldn't have said it better. I love your channel. Great entertainment 👌

Good job

Happy b'day dude. New fan luv the channel n the Gonzo green visor! Im weeks away from a hds68 here in Seattle

Nice one brother! I had my eye on this one, but decided to wait for the Huben GK1💥💥💥

Nice video again nice power. 👍🏻 25 caliber very nice

Woowww!! This gun is amazing!!!!

Great video! The way you shuffled the steps was interesting, starting with the shooting and leaving the charging to the end. Can't wait to see that Byrna video! Happy birhtday, Gian! Hadn't figured you for a fellow Virgoan...😂

Happy birthday, my friend! 44 years old? Thought you were younger than that. The Viper's really nice. I have one in .25 as well. I was on a pre-order list for it. One of the bonuses I got with the pre-order was a free double magazine added. If I remember correctly, one of the big reasons they made the Viper was as a self-defense weapon legal for use in South Korea.

So satisfying 🔥

Happy birthday, dude!

Happy birthday. My bday today love your vids bro.

When we were about 13, we made 1/24 scale wreaks and smashed some of our model cars. Now I see the error it was. That steel Chevelle was a great work of art. Bumping it out to factory again would be a good skill increaser. Oh, the airgun is nice too.

Nice ! 😊

Definitely a cool little pistol bro

I just picked up the Umarex Notos pcp carbine .22 cal and the thing is an absolute tack driver. Very nice compact carbine that can also be made into a pistol. New England Airgun isn’t that far from my house great guys, very knowledgeable, awesome shooting range and amazing all around shop.

Well let me start by saying happy birthday! Nice gift you got too! Also love your many 'tiers of destruction', which if you haven't named it yet I think that's appropriate. Now the gun itself eh, was not thoroughly impressed with it honestly. It looks great and all but in my opinion lacks the punch that I would expect when you have to lug around a tank of compressed air or have a compressor with you wherever you take it. Yeah, guns more portable running off of CO2 were more efficient. And that's why you do what you so we don't go out and spend the money and have regrets afterwards, and I'm sure we all thank you for that. Great work again as always brother!

A Blessed Happy Birthday Dear Friend 🥳🎂🙏🏽

I love airguns, mostly for their precision. Coconut does different dance when hit by my .45.😊

i told you long ago in the beginning , you would be great , there is a saying , “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them” ..... no matter how you slice it brother , no one puts up a better show in the business , no one comes close to spending the money you do to make sure you put on a fantastic show !!! .THE SKITS YOU INCORPORATE INTO THE VIDEOS ARE SECOND TO NO ONE !!! i have been on you tube since 2009 , and always dreamed about starting my own airgun channel , i just been pre occupied with testing , inventing , yata,yata,yata, !!! lol . i really enjoyed this video My brother was really action packed !!!

Alright mate 👍 and have a great birthday maybe a shotgun to go with your new ammo 😂 bryna looks good would be interesting to see how it compares to your other 50 cal pistols . The new PCP gun looks nice with the silencer on it was surprised by the power of it hatsan as met it's match maybe .as always keep up the good work 👍

Happy birthday :D damn that's a cool little PCP gun, I wish I could get a gun like that in Denmark, but only .177 and of cause paintball markers :P Great video as always :D

Man I wish I had that gun

HATSAN BLITZ NEXT 💥🔫

Nice bro scare him with a video camera 🤣🤣 cool video man. Glad you finally learned how to say evanix🤣

Happy birthday! 🎉

I have the full power Jet 2 in .25 calibre. I can’t wait to see the comparison.

...and happy birthday!

Hey man I've been getting into replica markers I think doing a video on the umarex .43 pistol would be awesome

Looks good to me

Yeah soon as I got mine I took the air gauge and put it at the bottom and put the fill port at the end. Because looking at the end of a barrel whether it's loaded or not is not exactly the best thing. Remember treat every gun as if it's loaded

Epic !!!

Cool video . I'll be checking it out.

Good

Nice 👍

Nice

Joyeux Anniversaire 🎂

Try shooting the pan first, with a fresh charge. You have a great channel , well done 👍🏼

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Certo che e' brutta come una cambiale sta Viper, ma potente! Decisamente ottimi risulatti per un .25

Happy Birthday

How long can you leave the co2 in the air gun? For personal defense I would assume you want it to be ready to go at all times

Thanks for saying something important; in most countries having a firearm that is handy like a handgun is illegal or severely restricted. You may as well say there are no other options and that is 100% true. Anyone who argues they would rather have a real gun lives in a privileged world. Currently I have a Tippman pistol, two Umarex, and a Byrna like we just saw you get. They are not illegal to own, but you still cannot use one in open carry. It has to stay in a more discrete belt pouch. For us deprived people, an airgun IS part of a line of defense. The Viper shows what it can do to a coconut; that is more than enough to make a thief think twice. A shot to the head might kill. A Byrna 68 hard ball (we cant have pepper balls) to the face WILL break teeth and probably destroy an eyeball. All of which will stop most people. That is more than fine for us.

Happy belated birthday ❤

Is this stronger than the grimburg gavle ???

Be nice if they was smaller and like the weatherton p22

Wow never seen or heard of one of those before. I looked up the UK price with tax over £1150, that’s an expensive air pistol! I think I’m pleased I can’t afford one, a 27 joule pistol, that’s 16 ft/lbs in old money. I would end getting 3 years in jail in the UK with that illegal handgun. Pleased I’ve found your channel. Keep em coming! Richard

Hello my friend love the power and look but keeping it filled i believe will ruin seals and parts due to the pressure. If this one has that issue solved i would get one tomorrow.

my friend , You should try helium gas sometime. Helium is a very flexible gas and very difficult to compress, it does not liquefy in a container like CO2.

Looks good! What's the price point on it?

Hey just curious? Do you get to keep the gun after testing it??? Or do you send it back?

Show👍🏼👍🏼

How long does the tank hold or last on shelf?

AWESOME, what are the FPS on the .25 caliber, I am sure it is more on the .177 version.

O.k. 12 shots & PUMP EH? (2) MAGS:Then The Pump! The 12 gauge pump is 16 shot pump] 15:16 shotgun b.t.w./Umarex comes basically in (2) power levels co2 & pump load up to "40 joules!." (WHOA!) & in.50/68 calibers. Thanx, J. (Way Kool)

As someone who’s been in the airgun world for awhile now. I’ve learned that it doesn’t take much energy to stop someone. I’d prefer to stop someone, killing them would always be a last option to me. But honestly 15-20fpe could kill someone with proper shot placement.

Flaco, siempre subis probando contra un coco..No en todos los paises tenemos cocos como para saber que tan duro pega.

Impressive. This will definitely give any attacker second thought about approaching you after being hit. Unless they're from krypton. 😂😂😂

Ey you left out something important: Can these be stored with air, or do the airtank need to be empty? That makes all the difference if this is useful, if you need to pump it up before using it, its fairly useless. Lots of us have 0 experience with PCP

The magazine holds how many .25 pellets please?

How much does it cost

You mention a hand pump in passing. What hand pump would work and can I at 85 years young do it?

Its about the next best tool for self defense besides a firearm. A crossbow or bow would be more lethal but you really only have one shot and very hard to hit a moving human sized target. But if you point this at a bad guy with the adrenaline and stress of self defense situation they won't even realize its w airgun. So yeah if you cant or dont want a firearm this is probably the next best option but dont fool yourself into think this is anymore safer than a firearm because its just as dangerous. A bullet is a bullet doesn't matter if its a explosion or air propelling it.

Yo my dude put something with a heavy coat and see if it goes through thanks

Long video for not a lot of info , You shot only one type of Pellet, How many rounds did it hold, How far off is it effective, Are there different pellets? What are the strength of the other 2 calibers?

Would love to get one of these but nowhere in my budget is room for a gucci airgun

I like the idea of this gun. It seems to have similar fps to my Hatsan Sortie .25 cal. But the Sortie is a bit weird configured & too large for convenience for self defense. I look forward to more demonstrations with this gun. Thanks for this!

P.s. will u review this with folding stock n carbine attachment? Like the Henry AR 7 i loved as a youth! Thanks

is it quieter than Co2?

If you soup up a air pistol will it break pepper balls in the gun?

I'll keep my 1911

I'm thinking of getting a better quality air pistol to play with in the backyard and possibly train with a walther for operating. As a us citizen for self defense I'll stick to my Mossberg 590 12ga. Sorry other places.

Does the Viper have blowback, and is it noticeable?"

Ok less lethal alternative But if you really want something that doubles the capacity, more than double the power Get the Gk1 by huben, everything will look like a toy compared to that😁

These are so cool, but so very expensive. I can't wait to be rich!
