I shoot in my yard all the time. Who's to tell me I can't? 😂😂. It's my property. As long as you aren't shooting towards anything. I have all woods in my back yard.
Great video, very informative. A bit of perspective - you need a scuba cylinder or a high pressure pump for those PCP rifles. That is not an insignificant investment. You can get a 10-22 for about $350, and it has a ten-round magazine. The .22lr is a go-to rifle for many shooters, due to economy of scale. It is a definite win for the PCP rifles regarding the ability to get it shipped straight to your home (usually) and no tax stamp for the suppressor. Also, .22 ammo can be relatively affordable, is easy to store, and lasts almost forever. As others have said, you are a pretty decent shot! Thank you for making a very interesting video!
Thank you! Correct, the fill method is going to be an additional cost to get started. The good thing is that cost is distributed across however many PCPs someone ends up buying. For someone looking to get a solid unit, say 800 dollars, across 10 PCPs the price is 80 dollars per airgun. Even for firearms, one safe can be hundreds to thousands of dollars, but when you are storing a dozen firearms, it isnt so much when you break down how many its storing. The air source should be considered part of ammo costs. With no primer, no casing, no powder, the air being propellent, its part of the cost that firearm catridges carry. That units one time fee only costs you electricity or gasoline after, where as every single catridge for a firearm has it built into the price.
@@toxicmatrix1337 They sure do. They also load into the breech with a relatively light push. I haven't tried the bigger boat tails, but I have a large supply of 64 grains that I'm very happy with.
In case you haven't tried this yet... don't go more than 4 or 5 turns in from zero on the hammer spring screw. If you go too far your gun will dump the entire air tank. Not like it damages the gun but it will surprise you if it happens! About 2 turns in from stock (which is about 3 turns from zero) is as far as you can go before it wastes air and then pretty soon will just dump air.
I had it built at Hajimoto, they have an option on the site for barrel work. Im not 100% sure what all is involved, but it should chamber slugs normally, it apparently just makes it a bit easier. The new G30 SLs from Umarex claim to be slug ready now.
Great content! Short and to the point. BUT......as I moved to Oak Park, Illinois, zip 60302, No retailer will ship to me an air rifle with a muzzle velocity over 700 FPS. Should have brought my air rifles with me when I moved. FMR Intelligence Office
You will need a compressor, it can be as little as a couple hundred or thousands if you want to go all out. The compressor is something that should be considered part of ammo cost. Imagine having a unit for firearms that produced gun powder out of thin air. With the cheaper cost of lead pellets and slugs vs cartridges, you are saving money over time. Get molds and cast your own and you save even more. Weight can add up, but if that is a concern, swapping to carbon fiber bottles will shave about a half of a pound quickly. Maintenance is practically zero. Run a good filter on your air compressor, use proper ammo, shouldnt really have a problem. Never use petroleum based lubes or solvents. 1000s of rounds and a completely spotless barrel is something youll never see from any firearm. Zero fouling.
Why people complain about the bolt handle cook people say that it is very hard to cook. I don't no why people always are very ridiculous about the bolt cook handle
did you upgrade your gauntlet to bolt action? all i can find on both pyramyd and airgundepot is a side charging version which is really lame. i want it to feel like an actual rifle not a toy and the sidecharger definitely gives it a toy feel and look.
@@N4STYNATE If you weren't able to buy a firearm? I think its a pretty viable option. Its manual cocking, you can get a pump action kit for it to speed things up. Rounds went through about 15 inches of ballistics gel with it. These shouldn't leak out, you can have it stored ready to go.
Thank you for watching!

Ive said it several times,but it deserves repeating...you're a hell of a shot bud.
Thanks Steve!

Depends on where you live. People are better off checking before doing anything, like in Illinois for example.
That gauntlet 2 30 cal is Awesome !!!
Its one of my favorite PCPs

Very professionally made video Toxic!🤠🇺🇸
Thanks Johnny!
You should be getting 1000fps or better with the 45 grain JSB. Everyone ive seen is getting 100+ fpe with the G30.
I think the highest Ive recorded was 980
BIG BOY TOY ... Me likey
Same!
Gran video como siempre bro, cada vez que subes un video con el g30 es espectacular, saludos
Thank you!
Amazing video. Thanks for that.
Thank you!
I shoot 64 grain Griffins at 122 fpe so you can def tune it up a little just with the hammer spring. This is good content btw
Thanks! Do those fit in the magazine?

@@jdp5704 Excellent!
Is it the same in the new version G30 Side Lever? Or they fixed that issue in new version?? @@jdp5704
Very cool testing!🤠🇺🇸☕️

Nice ❤

Thanks!
Thanks for the video! Can you share what modification you've done on the Gauntlet barrel in order to fit the slug?
I had it built at Hajimoto, they have an option on the site for barrel work. Im not 100% sure what all is involved, but it should chamber slugs normally, it apparently just makes it a bit easier. The new G30 SLs from Umarex claim to be slug ready now.
Gauntlet 💯 %

Start up cost, weight and maintenance are big considerations.
You will need a compressor, it can be as little as a couple hundred or thousands if you want to go all out. The compressor is something that should be considered part of ammo cost.

Never use petroleum based lubes or solvents. 1000s of rounds and a completely spotless barrel is something youll never see from any firearm. Zero fouling.
Why did you load the slugs individually?
Also to my door? 😂😂
Of course!! Right after you move here lol
@@toxicmatrix1337 joooo haha
How did you get the side lever or added it is that really possible
Hajimoto installed it. I had them build that G30 from their shop.
Did you cut the barrel on that G2 .30?
Stock length.
@@toxicmatrix1337 U must have the hammer spring turned down. Turn that girl up and see what she does.
dude..😂😂 guess ur great neighbour.... 😱🤣🤣 but as its texas ' that's like 250mls difference 🤣🤣🤣 ...plus your soda bill must be astronomical 😂😂😂😂.....
lol!

Thats how they used to come. Now Umarex only offers side-levers.
Would you recommend anything for home defense?
Bintac m50 pistol is small but has good power.
@@toxicmatrix1337 but would you RELY on it for home defense?

@@toxicmatrix1337 appreciate the response... definitely cool to see new tech! keep up the great content!
Wats the fpe and how many shots
@@steveburlingame1935 28 rounds per fill, I went over the fpe in the video for everything.
