UMAREX AIR RIFLE GUN PISTOL AIRGUN STEEL FEATHERED DARTS .177 PACK OF 10

Product Information

I did experiment with “arrows” and my best performing ones were made out of glue saturated paper rolled into a tube around an old fishing rod (waxed) that formed a tapered mandrel. I’d guess that they would supply enough HPA that it would keep the pressure rising as fast as possible in the bore and “cylinder” as long as the arrow (piston) was still sealed to the Pioneer to get a maximum transfer of energy.

The piston is a leather seal around the outside of the inner barrel, running in a larger concentric cylinder within the receiver. The breech comes to the rear end of the frame (what appears to be the pistol’s action from the outside) and the breech pin extends outside the rear of the gun. The homosote is the key feature in my setup with the paper target because homosote has a good density that allows penetration and there is no bounce-back ricochet.I always think of that scene from Lindsay Anderson’s masterpiece “If”-where Malcolm McDowell is lying on his bed, using a Webley* pistol to fire darts at various photographs, on his bedroom wall. It's now apparently an offence to keep airguns and pellets in the same storage place to prevent under 18's from access.

They took quite a bit of time to make and were pretty fragile but it was cool to fire one just to see how far it would go.This being a smooth bore barrel at BB size specs, then having a larger yet rifling helix cut into them. Next they will want a lock on the knife block in the kitchen to stop these 'yoofs' stabbing each other. I shoot at the smooth back because if the darts hit the steel wires that separate the scoring sections on the front the tips are damaged quickly. I just placed the muzzle on the counter and used my body weight to cock them and was a healthy young man so the cocking effort wasn’t an issue but to do it between both hands would leave bruises if done more than once. I am not sure how long the Gat and its rivals have been out of production, but they are now touted as collector’s items!

These guns are made to shoot steel BBs, so there is room for some soft tape that will seal them better and decrease (eliminate? The last airgun I tested with airgun darts was the Ruger Mark IV Break Barrel pellet pistol even though Umarex advises against shooting darts with it.

Fun to play around with but you have to be careful because you are messing around with a lot of pressure. As far as using your the boar bristle dart board, you will get permanent indentations because the dart’s flat face crushes the fibers.In this respect, the little gun is quite advanced, for other airguns that do all of this have to be modified with accessory barrels. It was this inaccuracy that made the cork firing Gat a favourite with shooting gallery stall owners at travelling fairs. But due to weight and available power, short will be the goal, but that may bring it’s own set of problems. B. Will be surprised with the accuracy IF he can ignore the sights which could be difficult for a competition level 10m pistol shooter. That’s what I meant about it would be a balance of arrow legnth to get the most efficient power and flight from the arrow.
