SGraves155He also makes a 308 that fills with 3200PSI and gives 5 shots before having to add air. The 115 gr projectiles average about 800fps!

The SpecialistHypothetically speaking ... one could construct a 12ga air weapon using slugs and a 3L 300bar air tank. That would theoretically chuck a slug through a solid Oak door at 70 yards and hardly even slow down.
But of course we'd NEVER do such an ILLEGAL and dangerous thing.

Probably legal and already done in the US.
I seen a post on a guy that had shot a deer with a cannon using very large balls. Talk about somebody trying to go to jail.
