Actually you didn't miss much at all. It may only seem like you did cause people mention it but it really wasn't bad at all.

Nice!!!!! How'd you get your Radius that bright red color? That's how it looks on my screen.View attachment 540291 Thought I would put this pic up. Ti-Kabuki, and the Radius, along with carry Ti Folder.

As pretty as that air rifle is, how does it compare in cost to traditional long arms?
Thanks, @Vape360. I will be waiting patiently. April Fools Day sale maybe?Sorry Scotdc,
Stock changes quickly and sometimes the sales land on a day when we are out of something. We hope to have these back in stock for the next event
That is just beautiful.View attachment 540291 Thought I would put this pic up. Ti-Kabuki, and the Radius, along with carry Ti Folder.

I like that Stealth/Anti-Stealth Radius combo. I do. Yes I do!
HaHa, Pic taken in the rays of the Setting Sun. Happily, it's no where this red! I saw a lot of pic's when they first came out, and was put off by the red color. I do however love the actual color of the Radius. Deep and Rich color!

a LOT more expensive. And when you add in the required support equipment, such as a compressor that can go to 5000 PSI, and a Fill bottle to match, Well, they cost more than most weatherbys X3 on their own! Grrrrrr!!
There is a newer, almost production version of this Air Gun being developed and produced for use on Ocean Going Tankers. Especially for Natural Gas Tankers, for Anti Pirate use, where sparks from a actual FireArm could be disastrous.
These are q available in .277 thru 50 cal. With a few made in .70 cal.
A far cry from what we think of as an air gun. LOL!!! Most are suppressed, as they tend to be incredibly LOUD!!! Couldn't shoot mine on my range without a good suppressor.

Well I like the color it came out in your pic. Hahaha!!! Either way...enjoy it!!!HaHa, Pic taken in the rays of the Setting Sun. Happily, it's no where this red!

Given the ability to compress gasses these days, it is amazing they have not been applied to a more military flavored use. Especially on a large weapon asset like a Carrier, Airborne heavy weapon platform (AC130+) or land based structure. Or...maybe they have and we just don't know about it. ;p
Takes far too much support on site Jim. Not to mention, norman chemical reaction weapons operate at a much higher breech pressure. Where these AG's operate at around 4000 PSI, a Chemical (Gun Powder) Arm averaged in the 50,000 range. And Artillery, much higher.
the Navy is playing with Electro Matic weapons, (the Rail Gun), and NASA is playing with the Air Gun in Hyper velocity test, in the 55,000 feet per second range, for simulating impacts from micro space particles. So the AG's are becoming more and more advanced.
It is interesting to note, that although not widely known, the first working repeaters, were Air Guns built by the French and Germans. One such example was carried on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It was a Rifled Big Bore and could reportedly fire 18 rounds in succession.
As they say, not much new under the Sun! LOL!!! (Just Improved I guess).

I was looking at it from a very small heat signature profile....I totally understand the compression ratios vs. gunpowder or similar accelerants. Just fun to speculate, no?
I think I remember that our CG torpedo's were launched with air pressure. I could be mistaken on that, but I do remember the gunnies firing a basketball out of the tubes one time, it was impressive!
You are not wrong sir. Given that was my Rating (Sonar Tech), we did indeed find all manner of things to shoot out of those three (MK48) tubes for "Maintenance" purposes. It was not; however, the GM's job. It was us, the lowly ST's who took care of that gear. The only thing the GM's did for us on that particular piece of gear was order the parts. I have since been told my rating was retired post 9/11 once the Homeland Security Folks took over the CG. Sad thing that, but to be honest though, it was well known we were just torpedo shields attached to whatever naval fleet we were assigned to during a time of war. Now the small boat guys (44 feet or less), they earned their pay daily and during war time. They were almost always BM's (nitwits/smack-tards), GM's (guys that like to make things go boom), and a boot JG with no fracking clue who ended up in harm's way back in the 80's when I was in. Good times though and I would do it all over again.
I was in from '79-'85, I remember one patrol where we were towing a side scan sonar assembly on a long tether along the US / USSR treaty line up around Adak AK. Fellers from Washington aboard and all that stuff. Those were some pretty weird times...
LOL! You aint done a dive bar till you swam in an Adak "drinking establishment". And them 'Lute women with no teeth...like pure gold on a calm Bering Sea day.
I'm speaking of their personality's of course!
