The local Wal-Mart carries the Benjamin Nitro piston and I have been tempted to buy one.

The thing which keeps me from doing so is I remember all those GM cars from the 1980s which used gas pistons instead of springs to help lift the hood.

I have yet to see one in which the gas has not escaped leaving them dead.

My brother and I had 10 shot bolt action Crossman CO2 repeaters.

We thought we were the stuff.

Then came the .22 rifles and the 20 ga. shotguns. My did we enjoy quail and dove hunting. And we held our own with the adults. The old guys really enjoyed that.

Fond memories.

They've improved a bit in the last 25 years.
