Well, I got my 1st air gun today. It is a Crosman Diamondback SBD NP Elite .22. The initiative was to try to take care of a bit of a rat problem we have in the backyard. Being in a suburban neighborhood I needed something more discrete than a 22lr (and the wife said no to a silencer).
I ended up throwing an Olight I had in the closet on it so I can work at night. Worked out pretty well actually. The slots on the rifle are just decorative and not actually M-Lok, but with some slight modification to a short piece of rail I was able to get it attached without modification to the gun.
So far my thoughts are that the gun is heavy! I am slow, and the rats are fast. They bug out as soon as I hit them with the light, and I can't track a little rat fast enough to get a good shot. A nice light 22lr sure would be a better tool for this, but not in my neighborhood.
