I own a .50 cal air rifle made right here in Missouri.

The Navy used to have 15 INCH cast iron air rifles. Used them in the Spanish American war. The ship which had carried them torpedoed itself during World War I (before Wilson dragged us into the war). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Vesuvius_%281888%29

The rifle shoots a .495 round ball.
Check out Quackenbush...

Wait time for a new gun is > 1 year.
