I would agree with the other posters that the gun is in a different class than most airguns, that is it is not really for the volume found while performing pest control. Having said that I still think the 9mm or 30 or whatever caliber airgun is made the gun needs to be pretty much a one hole weapon. This 9mm is essentially putting less energy than a .22 LR shooting a 32 grn bullet. Hunting larger game with an airgun is like fishing with 4 pound test line. One has to have perfect technique and the equipment must be flawless or the hunt could be considered unethical. From what I saw in this video the 9mm cricket is not ready for prime time.

Hi eelect,

no bubbles here, at least not for me, only unbiased opinions 😀

I didn’t actually want to say that airguns bigger than .25 don’t shoot straight….

Airguns bigger than .25 do somehow enter powder burner terrain and IMHO there is no competition there.

OK big bore airguns TODAY maybe can STILL be owned with lesser formalities and authorizations so they can have a reason to exist but this will change very soon if the bigbore airguns market will grow.

So preferably we should keep two perfectly distinct categories, airguns and powderburners for the sake of free airguns possession in the future.

Heary, heary ! That has been my opinion all along.

Alvaro posted this… about 3/4″ at 50 yards. It’s loud and has recoil. I will stick with my Edgun standard .30 thank you 😛 It’s plenty for raccoon sized critters and very quiet.

“With jsb did it pretty well except for the 4th shot that was my fault but shot 1,2,3 and 5 were in les than 3/4″ not so bad for a gun in 9mm cal. H&N grizzly were horrible. It’s a very powerfull gun very hard to control, it has some recoil and it’s very noisy. But the over all for my is that is much better than other 9mm gun like careers or samyangs, and it’s only a hunting gun not for precision target shoot. so o if you think you’ll have a gun with the precision of a Steyr and trying to shot 5 pellets in a same hole keep the 30 cal. Cheers”

Not to burst anyone’s bubble but someone make a caliber bigger than 25 that can shoot straight. Take a look at this.

A marvellous little device created by Imppu. Regulated Airspace Increaser.

I’m a bit confused now :sadn: .

Does this mean that there isn’t still anybody able to produce a mini bullpup full-automatic .50 cal fully suppressed with 300 shots autonomy at 1200 ft/lbs with 300 rounds mag capacity?

I mean obviously with one single hole 5 shots group at 100 meter!

There still isn’t such a pup?

Well it’s really a shame! :rofl:

I agree with Ville, airguns max .25 cal 😀

According to the “Great Northern Apothecary’ manual. Heat and beer are containdicated for confused Swedes, Finns, Dutch or even Baltic country residents. Pickled fish with ice cold vodka and some black bread is what he needs. 😉

New Zealand, Australia what´s the difference ? The Toilets flush at the wrong direction , you have weirdish Creatures and very poisonous Snakes.
And Swiss watches are nice as are the Wenger knifes. I´m proud being Swiss ! Or is it Swedish ? No – calling a Finn for Swede is an insult.
See what you´ve done now – i´m all confused… 😳

OK Ville, you seem to be in bad state now. Go to the hottest place you can find and pretend it’s sauna. Take off all your clothes, grab a beer and start practicing some swear words in your native language. Then run out of the boiler room to the nearest lake while shouting all those swear words. Swedes should take no note of that, there are enough Finns out there and the reputation is set already. You should feel much better afterwards assuming the lake is not too far away.

I send you email…

And yes there is some rai units still laying in corners.

Great, my friend. I´m not alone then. :biggrinn:
I actually need one more RAI and if you happen to have one laying around – for my friends Cricket .25 – we´ll take it. He´s tuning his Gun for max output and the RAI is a good aid in that. Send me a PM.

Very poor grouping 😡 And price for 9mm ammo will be higher than .22 powder gun

My thoughts exactly ! I buy GOOD (Norma,RWS,SK) ammo for .22 LR for the same or less and i´ll be very quiet with attached muffler. More quiet than a 9mm AG. I see no point in over .25 cal AG if it´s not used for Hunting or for one of those Silhouette disciplines, which we don´t have in Sweden. I shoot 5-6 mm CC 5 shot groups at 50 meters all day long with my .22 LR and that fat 9mm bastard will not be able to do that with one pellet.
For me : Totally useless Airgun.

tested and can agreed to you Ville!
