Hey I’m an old broke guy who took on air guns as an easier hobby for my body can do and I really like it. I gave up Biking. I pretty much just shoot pistols in the back yard now, bad back limits my movements. Been doing this for last year plus and I’ve spent a little $ on all these 80 something air guns I’ve bought. I got mostly stuff under 300$ like the Pinty Buster, thumper, Notos, MPX and such. Then I got some cheap BB guns and some for about 300$. I just bought the KWC version of the Umarex Beretta M9A3, both shoot about then same. In the pellet pistol I like the Beretta M92FX in both the nickle and wood handled and blued, these are both good plinkers also.
I like the break barrels my less popular ones are an Express 800 it’s a brick, a BFS, and a Weihrauch 70. Then I have the new Browning and some other cheap ones. I like the break”spring piston” also. Like the P17, P3, and I have a few old Crosman repeaters.
I have over 40 CO2 guns. The Acro 1 was just added and I can get about 30 shots out of it but has a bad CO2 seal. I also have a very small collection of guns where I got the real gun, the air gun and the movie gun by Denix. The Walter p-38, and the S&W 357 are a few.
One of my first air guns was the Pistrell 68 and it’s a real brick always has some issues. My favorite is the Reximex RPA with the blue handle it’s a real light straight shooter.
My favorite favorite and it’s hard to pick is that dumb Sig MPX, it is slow but very accurate with flip up sites and real fun to shot given 30rds mag of uninterrupted fun fun fun. I just added the PCP to it for more fun also! In fact of the all the Sig Sauer air guns are pretty cool. Yes, I do have a broke 365 also! LoL But with that off the table I must admit they work hard like some Beretta’s to give an easy operate CO2 system. Daisy does good on some of their cheap guns also. You can get lots of shots out of those cheap non-blowback Daisy guns, and I love dancing the hanging plastic water bottle with about every 5th shot with them! LoL Those dang BB’s. LoL
Well that’s a lot but I have lots of them. I’ll be getting more upscale guns in future maybe but I’m really turning to saving these old cheap guns like the Express 800, some BFS’s and of course the older WH’s. I got my eye on a couple newer WH’s if I ever see a sale price. LOL that’s the other thing I only buy the air guns on sale, I have a Big 5 box store pistol collection and I search FB marketplace for the odd duck air guns.
I have added the C1 Pro crony to my collection and a Wheeler trigger pull gauge to make sure these air guns work like they say they should. I tried two other types of crony but caved to this C1 and it is a different level of air gunning for sure and I like it. I used to sample nuclear waste material for a living, I went to it, it didn’t come to me. Anyway I’ve missed the numbers and this crony and all these different guns and pellet weights will keep me in numbers till the end that’s for sure.
Here are a few random pics of some.

Wow, quite the collection. From 0-80 in the blink of an eye. Welcome to the HAMlet, I think you'll fit in right nice. P17 and P3 are single pump pneumatic, vice "springers". Much more fun 😉
