One shot wonder...

Well, in my never-ending quest for weird guns, here is one that I came across on ASC:




Star PSS-300 Pistol
-System: Gas Power / Single Action
-Material: Metal
-Magazine: 1 Round / 6mm BB
-Velocity: 370-380 FPS (0.2g BB & Green Gas)
-Length: 415mm
-Adjustable Rear Sight

Yes, you read that right, STAR...

-Doug

WHAT THE HECK? Is this based off of something real? What is the purpose of this gun?

looks like a compatition style pelet pistol. they use them for siloet target IMSAH style

Replica competition gun. Not the real thing but certain looks like it:

Very cool, check the real ones out. You know, if they ever made one like the one with the 8 round mag (Twinmaster Top), I would buy it.

EDITED FOR DOUGS SENSITIVE EYES
no idea what this is but it popped up on ASC as well.

I always forget there is a tonne of competition shooters our there for pellet guns. I know that ISPC has used airsoft but is there an airsoft specific shooting competition?

yes there is we do it up here with airsoft and pellet. it is a air powered silloet target shooting. we only do pistols not rifles but we also do the full sized big bore pistol silloet shooting as well.

Man, I have seen that gun posted waayyyy too much, I was tempted just to delete your thread I hate that gun soo much. Seriously, they could have done a better job, they didn't even try when putting accessories on it. Bahh!

On the flip note, nah, airsoft is smooth bore, hop-up garbage compared to those competition guns. The real things put airsoft to shame... The difference is that our go FULL-AUTO AND HOLD 100's OF ROUNDS AND LOOK BETTER>>> NYA NYA NYA...

Seriously though, they make for some nice space guns.

Nic did lots of the target acquisition stuff, remember the pie plates and coded targets? Maybe should look at doing that for boot camp again...

-Doug

I missed all of that shooting stuff, was that the assault day?

Ummm, its been awhile, 2years ago fall. I am sure that we will get to do it again, if not, there are a few people around PG and North that do this professionally so they could always give a hand

-Doug

Yah I think that was the assault day, that was the day GM and I came busting outta the bushes guns blazing, and that lasted all of 5 seconds before I tripped and fell...

that is my idea of a one shot wonder. I considered picking one of these up not to long ago.

We need to start a petition to get Nic out of the bush and back in the city. I think his wife would have her name at the top of the list. The club fees could just buy him loads of lotto tickets to pay for him to stay in.

Bah, I hate those fugly wood things. Get the nicer looking pistols:




-Doug

I just barfed a little...


there one in Ronin, or something more like the TM one. They look so Alienesque, not a huge fan.

I got a tommy for my first gun so clearly I have something for the fake plastic wood.

Haha... I used to use one of those pellet guns back when I did some competition shooting.

As for the grenade launchers, I'd much rather take an m79 over those wierd things.

Edit:

At least Star is releasing some nice stuff as well:

Jackboot gets a free high 5 for that, Doug you clearly need to come home and show me and Jackboot a lesson in futureistic gun loving.

Barf???? BARF!!!! Tell me Dave, just how well that Tommy worked out... You know, regular mag sizes, great body design, tons of accessories for the built in rails... (your rail was revolutionary)

There is a reason, Jack, why people have stopped using some of those old guns... and it is not always lowest bid contracting... I love the wood AK, but when I look at the Fibre AK's my love goes to a whole new level... Hoplophilia...

-Doug

"The M79 has seen notable limited use during Operation Iraqi Freedom, such as for clearing IEDs."
-Wikipedia

Clearing IED's
IED= Improvised Exploding Doug

I could use one of those M79's to clear out the roadside Doug's in games.

Ummm, that is not combat related...

Both the XM148 and M79 were eventually superseded by the M203. However, the M79 has remained in service in many niche roles throughout the American armed services.
-Wikipedia

Unless your load-out is bomb disposal or mine-clearance, I think I will stick to the M203 and it's derivatives

Still, not to hard to build your own of one of those, heck, do a potatoe cannon setup like one of those and you got yourself a seller.

-Doug

Jeez, in that one game, I was the IED clearer... Heck, my avatar still holds honor to that...

Yeah, still in the end, this is what we all want:



-Doug

I think that is the middle ground for me and you Doug, not sure what other think about that thing but taking out a vehichle at busters with one of those would be epic.

Maybe without the stock and scope:



I'll take two.

Yeah, you are right Jack, minimalize the package and it looks pretty tight. If only grenades were more effective... 6 shots just would not do it in a field game. CQB, maybe a different story... But again, how realistic is it to be grenading people right in front of you, not like you can bounce the shells off the walls...

Why look at that... A real life bb shower grenade.
