Which means that there’s no short-barreled rifle laws. Which means that I can order it online, and they can just ship it to my house. Which means that you do not have to abide by firearms laws. Even though it shoots a projectile capable of taking down a deer, it’s not a firearm. What’s really cool about this airgun, and all airguns, is that the ATF -the organization that makes all the laws of firearms in the United States- does not actually classify this as a gun. Now that I know the sights are on, I went ahead and moved the target back another fifteen yards, so we’re probably around forty yards now. Hopefully you guys can tell that, because that ring was super super loud, because that 50-cal bullet hit it. That was cool! A little bit too loud for shooting without ear protection on, but not nearly as loud as a gun. I’m gonna shoot this thing with no ear protection on, just because I want to see how loud or quiet it is, hopefully that’s not a mistake. And there’s apparently two positions here, one for low-power, one for high. So now that the air tanks are full and we have a bullet loaded in the chamber, I think you just cock it. So both these bullets are 50 caliber, this one is a hollow-point one-hundred-eighty-grain, this one is obviously not, but it does have a steel tip, it’s two-hundred grain. I guess it’s ready to put a bullet in there, which I think you do right here. Now you can see we are in the green, not into the red yet. Oh yeah, cool! I don’t know if you guys can see that, but the gauge is up, it went all the way to red. And I guess I need to look at this gauge as I’m doing this, make sure I don’t put too much in? I don’t know. So, I’m gonna use this big fill tank right here, which I went and got filled, and uh, try to pump this thing up. Basically, it holds air in these two bottom tubes, the top one is the barrel where the 50cal bullet shoots out. It actually has a gauge here, and it came - it came with a little bit of air in it, you can see, that we are just getting into the yellow, so I think it’s got air. I need to fill this thing up, it’ll be the first time I’ve ever done it. Because I’ve never thought of an airgun as being that powerful. You can actually take down a deer -where legal- with an air rifle. These guns are used for small game, they’re also used for like, Whitetail deer. It shoots a 50 Caliber bullet, which is crazy. This is actually called a Dragon Claw, made by Sam Yang, which is Korean I’m pretty sure? I got this off, and this is what they call a Big Bore Airgun. It’s not a BB gun, it’s not an Airsoft gun, this is… like, a pretty powerful gun. Or maybe like, a airsoft gun, where you go shoot your buddy, and no-one dies. When I think of an “Air rifle”, I think of like, a BB gun or a pellet gun, y’know like, something for a little kid to learn how to shoot, maybe go shoot a bird or squirrel or something, and that’s about it. Some of the guns that I make videos with, I really, really like. Still, this thing is pretty unique, this thing is just too cool! Video Trascription I just have to wonder what the cost comparison looks like when you shoot one of these, contrasted with the ammunition costs of a standard rifle. This is the first one I’ve seen that also has the capacity to shoot both arrows and bullets. It will definitely be interesting to see if laws evolve and change because of these and the similarly controversial “airbow” starting to make waves with hunters. People are already using these air rifles for large game like deer. Talk about a cool airgun! It’s kind of crazy how easy these are to purchase (but the technology for these big bore airguns is evolving so quickly, the ATF may have been a little blindsided by these things). Just watch the video and see for yourself. What’s cool about this rifle is it not only shoots bullets, it fires something you might not expect. It may look like an over-and-under shotgun slash grenade launcher like, but it’s a. Watch the folks from Demolition Ranch try out the Sam Yang Dragon Claw. You can use it for fun shooting at targets and possibly for hunting small game. It turns out there’s some real potential in many of these rifles. Big bore air rifles are something of a new phenomenon in the world of shooting and hunting.
