.72cal Zues (extremely powerfull 2000fps) air rifle. What are the odds that you shoot a burglar to another wold with a contactshot? They hunt giant animals with it but is it good for homedefence?.

A lot of new high powered air rifles are being made that are sufficient for game and soft targets, the tech goes back to the Napoleonic era.
What do you mean with aoft targets? Arent those supposed for slort shooting?
> slort
sport ffs
It’s alright.
They can’t even spell Zeus correctly.
snort shooting
Snort, formerly chucks
They're about the same as a 12ga slug. Plenty powerful but you only get one shot.
I'd much rather have a less powerful repeater if an airgun were my only HD option.
Soft = not armored
It is 100% good enough for home defense and i think it can be loaded for up to 6 shots at a time. I can see this being useful for a cucked state or felons home

.51" 200gr lead ball at 500fps, how much damage can you expect from this? it was good enough for lewis an clark supposedly
also how did they refill the cannisters in the fricking 1700s?
>also how did they refill the cannisters in the fricking 1700s?
It came with a hand pump and a refill took half an hour of vigorous pumping
>half an hour of vigorous pumping
amature
Pic related is from someone's testing with a reproduction .45 model. They really weren't that powerful, and the power dropped off further with each shot rather than more modern PCP guns where velocity increased and then drops off due to how modern valves work (and especially not like modern regulated PCP guns).
>also how did they refill the cannisters in the fricking 1700s?
With a special hand pump.
>.51" 200gr lead ball at 500fps, how much damage can you expect from this?
That's weak by modern standards. For example a .40 S&W shooting the same weight bullet gets double the velocity and makes four times the energy. But it would be lethal at close range.

https://airguntactical.com/es/products/aea-precision-zeus-pcp-big-bore-air-rifle
The official website says it's more or less 280m/s, less than half of 2000fps
I would work, but an AR would work even better
>extremely powerfull 2000fps
You fricking liar, the fastest airgun barely hits 1700FPS under ideal circumstances and that's with a tiny ass pellet.
They say its about 2000fps everywhere on youtube
Seems like a projectile not to mess with to me
You might want to check your sources anon. PCP airguns have trouble even breaking the sound barrier due to the problem of gases not expanding at faster than the speed of sound in that gas.
And you believed it?
Wow, that 4500 PSI is extremely high
But still around 1500 FPS which is impressive for air and that large .72cal round. Explains why heads explode.
>But still around 1500 FPS
That's 1500 ft lbs anon. It's an 820 grain bullet at 900 FPS.
>Wow, that 4500 PSI is extremely high
Yeah, that's part of the problem with some modern PCP airguns. The fill pressure is even higher than a SCUBA tank so you can't just bring your tank to the local dive shop to get it filled, you need a specialty compressor to get that high. So you either need to live near a specialist airgun shop which has that kind of compressor, or you need to buy one yourself.
>So you either need to live near a specialist airgun shop which has that kind of compressor, or you need to buy one yourself.
No, you need to buy one yourself. No one is bringing their gun to a shop every time they need to reload it, especially with something like the gun in the OP that gets less than 5 shots per fill.
>No one is bringing their gun to a shop

Anon, normally one has a large tank for filling the gun. THAT is what people take to dive shops or wherever for refilling, not the gun itself. Taking the gun would be pants-on-head moronic since it holds so few shots.
You fill your big tank with the compressor (or at the shop), then you use that to fill the gun.
>Explains why heads explode.
Gel heads do not react like real heads.
Everything about gel being even somewhat similar to flesh goes straight out the window when you put a bunch of plastic shit in it that looks like bone.
NASA developed a program decades ago to study uber ridiculous velocities and insane energy impacts that is a giant airgun that shoots .30 cal pellets into space. The recoil is so great the steel beams it's mounted on flex when they fire it. The fastest airgun shoots at Mach 20.44 - that's 23,000fps - but I think a new part of the program goes Mach 25+. So like, it's not like there's a velocity limit.
Gas and Air are not the same thing, the Light Gas gun therefore is definitionally not an airgun.
You're half right, anon, it wasn't designed to shoot pellets into space, it was used to model impacts from space. It's at the NASA Ames facility just outside of San Francisco.
Here's the datasheet
https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/files/ames-vertical-gun-range-v2010(1).pdf
You are correct on those velocity numbers, it can fire a 7.6mm projectile at 7,000,ms (which 22,966 fps). I've actually been to see it, but sadly not in action.
In conclusion, it's ideal for home defense imo
There is a velocity limit, and it is based on the molecular weight of the gas. Hence the “light gas gun” project.

Its the /k/ autist again. Literally first autistic reaction, hmm, who can this be?
>(extremely powerfull 2000fps)
It's 2000 joules or 1500 ft lbs for freedom units (about the same muzzle energy as 7.62x39mm), and you're only hitting that with the 32" barrel. With the short barrel in the OP, you're dropping into the energy range of .357 magnum or 10mm from a handgun. It also has a large tank that needs to be filled to 4500 PSI so you need an air compressor if you want to hit that full power, and can only manage a couple shots per fill.
While the muzzle energy is in the range of intermediate rifles, I would predict a greater terminal effect on medium game just due to the difference in caliber, specifics of projectile choice notwithstanding.
>.72cal
>2000fps
that's more power than a .45-70
misread the energy calculator. thought it said 11500 foot pound.
It was denounced it as an "assassin's weapon" in Napoleonic times and even banned at times. Probably because it is dead silent and very deadly. These days, is popular with hunters. I guess CIA assassins would get a lot of mileage out of these things, especially with a thermal clip, if the CIA is employing you as an assassin.
Air rifles seemed neat til I found out 2k is pretty unrealistic to consistently hit, having all the seals to keep greased, shooting low quality bullets fricks your accuracy even more than gunpowder, and that you are basically required to use an air compressor because you'll be pumping an hour to get that shit reloaded. All for the price of a quite decent rifle or more ammo than you'll realistically need. Only real use I can see is extremely fat subsonics.
it's kinda overpriced considering it's ZOMG most powerful air rifle evar!!
the Umarex Hammer does the same in .50 cal, still kills deer and hogs but costs $850. You still need a compressor or scuba tho.
How long can the weapon be stored with a fully-charged cylinder?
