I would probably pick up one of these for me and the kids to use if it was durable, and if it didn't require burning up a permit.

While I was recovering at home after hip replacement a few years ago, I set up my pellet trap at the front of my living room and measured 33 ft (10 meters) back to the bathroom threshold, a perfect indoor practice range!

 

Given the prices of .22 ammo, centerfire components, and gasoline, I may be doing more of that real soon!

really need a permit for this? cant order online i guess?

Here comes the discussion of BB/Pellet/rifle/handgun legality for the 362th time!!

 

And there is no clear answer to some of the questions. LOL. After all, this is NEW JERSEY.

FYI – my experience is that while the blow-back models are more realistic, they are not nearly as accurate (and the sights are not adjustable on most). I’ve got a Beretta PX4 Storm, and while it’s a blast to shoot, if I actually want to hit something I’ll use my Webley Tempest. YMMV

How many gun safety fails in that video?
