Q:

I wish I could shoot that way…

Found few videos of shooting EDgun Matador standard .22 in Russian segment of Internet. I think you will not need the translation to understand. 13.5 means 135 meters and so on…

Ed I have a question. Is it illegal to own airguns in Russia? I watch a lot of Russian airgun youtube and every shooter hides his face. I always thought the shooter hid his face because they were using bullpups to kill crows in Moscow. But this target shooter is also hiding his face.

It’s not the air guns that are prohibited in Russia. It’s the power they are set at. If you have a license, you can go to perhaps 30 fpe. Without the license, you are limited to perhaps 6 fpe. A heavily armed nation seldom give it’s citizens the protection we enjoy under the Second Amendment. We are armed to protect ourselves FROM the government! That’s unique in the world…

Further, I doubt many Russians want the local officials to know they are shooting targets from such ranges. The penalties are very severe.

The Russians still have they’re shit together even with all the government regs

There are many former spetsnaz members who reside in the U.S. now, and have appeared on several “Special Operations” series that explain how very private, technical operations are achieved, but never heard of. It seems all nations have their “special people” who do special things under difficult circumstances.

One of the better known is Saulius ‘Sonny’ Puzikas, who has done some films and training videos.

This is an interesting video that he appears in. https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=spetsnaz+sonny+puzikas&hspart=att&hsimp=yhs-att_001&type=att_mail_chrome_dss

Very impressive!

Ed I didn’t know blurring one’s face on video prevented mosquito bites. :rofl: Sneaky Russians :8:

I will translate these videos to English….Translation: HOLY SHIT, that’s some fine shooting!

Your welcome,

…I fucking LOVE my Edgun!

It is becoming known.

Great Cousin Oak

our Magnificent Uncle has local Spetsnaz connections….

:whistle:

I wonder if Russian word “spetsnaz” now is understandable withoutn translation like it was with sputnik and perestroyka?

Great Cousin Oak :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: ,

our Magnificent Uncle :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :hoot: has local Spetsnaz connections…. (like the one shooting in the videos, he is a professional sniper…)

Just in case…..

:whistle:

Ed takes nothing personally and has g00d humor. My most honorable of magnificent :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: Cousin Pippo I don’t think our Greatest of Uncles :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :hoot: would want us to enforce the family honor over Ed tomfoolery. Besides to many cold nights by dog sled to get to where Ed is held up hiding from the angry US Ed Gun Buyers.

quote Pippo:

Physical activity is your worst enemy when shooting, you need rest in order to control breath and heartbeat

Just for information. Before going to gym my pulse in rest was about 80 beats/minute, now it can variate from 55 to 65 beats/minute. The lung capacity improved, thus I can keep the breach longer without shaking any musculs 🙂

And I am very glad that you accept my humor, no intention to offence!

GYM is always good, what I mean is that it’s just not good DURING the shooting session 😀

And different opinions are always good as long as they are in “good faith” :thumb:

quote Pippo:

The only thing I can add is that the R3M I’ve shot could not be cycled with that ease, let alone with my weaker left arm….

You always have way to change it 🙂

Shit Cousin of the highest Regards Sir Pippo of the Genius of h00tsberry Arkansas are you going to stand for Ed busting on you like this? Are you going to stand for Ed telling you to do some push up, pull up chin up and dips? Are you going to stand for Ed telling you if you can’t index the Edgun the “MANS GUN” then maybe you are not a man? Pippo? Pippo of the Highest Order?

Basically what Ed is saying Pippo my Cousin of the Highest Magnitude is that BOLT ACTIONS ARE FOR MEN!

Magnificent and Great :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: Cousin Oak,

I don’t see any offense in Ed’s reply and I don’t have any problem with some funny comments 😀 .

All our TAG mates know that in order to shoot accurate you don’t need muscles but concentration, technique and a tool that is up to the task.

Physical activity is your worst enemy when shooting, you need rest in order to control breath and heartbeat and if you need more gym to pull the Matador trigger and to cycle the gun then it is more some kind of Flintstones tool.

What I can say is that I gave the R3M a second chance with the newer breech design but unfortunately it didn’t work much better and this is because I’m “sometimes” negative about the R3M.

This said Ed, it’s true I could need some more gym 😀

Magnificent Cousin Oak, I hope you feel the family honor is safe :bow: :bow: :bow: but if you want we can leave the final judgement to Magnificent Godfather Uncle :bow: :bow: :bow: :hoot:

Yeah, as well as the blurred face against mosquitos.
