Beginners Questions How many?

[Nordic Norm]

Hi folks, I divested in all of my firearms a few years ago, too noisy, too expensive, too dangerous, no places to shoot etc. Well, hello! Airguns! I used to shoot a Beeman R9 deluxe in my basement years ago. Didn't like the cocking or wacky scope killing recoil. Wait.... what is this? PCP? Affordable! Shoots great, low to no noise, shoot practically anywhere with moderate stealth. What could go wrong? Compressors! That's what. Tried a cheapo, died on the 1st run to 300bars. Bit the bullet and bought a nice compressor and air dryer. Heck, compared the that investment the guns aren't all that expensive. Fact is, the more guns I have, the less the cost if filling them (per gun).
So, my question is,

How many guns does an airgunner need?

As many as you can enjoy.

Three for each caliber: plinking, hunting, target; and since one is none and two is one, times 2, now if you compete, three for each discipline you compete in. Heirloom, historical and unique models that strike your fancy, and of course pistols. That should pretty much cover it, unless you're ambidextrous and the model of gun you like isn't, than times two again. Any more than this and you are just wasting money that should be spent on ammo. Need is very subjective.

One more !

As many as you need to make you content!

Limitless amount potentially.

Always, just one more!

Too funny. I'm using that in the future

As many as you can get away with buying until the wife has you in divorce court

See I don't have to worry about that because my wife and I opened an airgun business ...

 

[Eric Brewer]

Maybe I should open an airgun business too... That may stop her from counting how many I have.

No she will just be counting them more

I've got my "allowable" airguns/rifles. . . . the rest are just for "spare parts". Shucks, I can't lie to my dear wife . . . she seems to be OK with one new airgun a year, and as I'm coming up on my 76th birthday before long, I've got some catching up to do! Orv.

As many years as my wife will allow. Believe me . . . I enjoy them all, even the inexpensive Crosman I bought at the beginning of this journey. Orv.

As many as you would actually use, because an unused airgun is a sad thing. But if you enjoy collecting? As many, as you’re comfortable with…

Unused airguns don't need feeding.

I hate safe queens. I have 4 airguns, and they all get used. If it doesn’t get used for a period of time, it gets sold.

As many as you can afford.
