How can a gun's spring be made of gas? Tom tells you all about gas springs, why he likes them, and their advantages and disadvantages. After you hear this, you'll want your next gun to have a gas spring!

The Q&A section answers questions about the HW70 and if it's a good 10-meter airgun, where to find the 8-gram CO2 cartridges for vintage CO2 guns and a general overview of the RWS Diana 460 Magnum air rifle.

Tom Gaylord (host of Pyramyd Air Waves) has been an
airgunner for over a half-century, but it was the Beeman company in the
1970s that awoke a serious interest in airguns. Until then, all he knew
were the inexpensive American airguns. Through the pages of the Beeman
catalog, he learned about adult airguns for the first time.
In 1994, Tom started The Airgun Letter, with his wife,
Edith. This monthly newsletter was designed to bring serious reports
about airguns to the American public. The newsletter and Airgun Revue, a sister magazine about collectible airguns, was published from 1994 until 2002, when Tom started Airgun Illustrated--the first American newsstand magazine about airguns.
Tom worked for three years as technical director at AirForce Airguns, the makers of the Talon and Talon SS
precharged air rifles. Today, he writes about airguns and firearms for
various publications and web sites. He also makes videos, and you'll
find short clips embedded in some of his artices on our web site. |
