Dirt Cheap Survival Airgun



One thing the recent .22 ammo shortage has done, on a personal level, is give me the impetus to get back into airguns. When I was young I had two airguns, both Crosman: a model 180, single shot co2 powered .22 pellet rifle and a 766 American Classic multi-pump BB/.177 pellet rifle. The latter still exists, but with a different name: the model 2100. It is one of a very few tools of my youth that still exist pretty much exactly as they were then.
Crosman also makes a co2 powered .22 pellet rifle that is very similar to my old 180, and I have one of those too.
This video is about neither of those, but a series of compact multi-pump pellet pistol/carbines that are small enough to stash or carry unobtrusively, yet big enough, powerful enough and accurate enough to reliably put food on the table.
