ni big, you are right about that. I meant before the self contained cartridge gun which I think came around the mid 1800's. The wealthy had powder burning hand canons towards the end of the middle ages.

That makes sense. Still, I had no idea of the history nor the POWER of air-powered weaponry. Pretty cool, myst!

Thats a hell of a pig that little kid got. I consider myself to be a good shot, but it's been awhile since I've gotten the gun out. I live in the country so I can take out the gun and do target practice pretty much whenever I want.I just cant afford bullets right now
