We also have a Gamo Varminter. Its an awesome air rifle with scope, flashlight and laser. If you shoot someone with it it will definitely ruin their day. Especially if you use the Raptor ammo. This is not your father’s Daisy BB gun.
i find the gammo insanely accurate, 35 yards can shoot a half inch group. .177 gammo hunter ammo. it is a serious hunting gun, not a toy no way.
still, for self defense, no. whats wrong with mac or a can of bear spray? besides having to get the heck out of the house if you used it?
