I got my kid a Gamo .22 break barrel Maxxim air rifle for Christmas one year. He was pretty stoked.

It's ridiculously cool, 50 cal at 1100 FPS... that's insane stopping power for an air gun.

Wow, I didn't see that it's a supersonic 50 cal. Okay, that's not cool, that's insane! How many shots per canister? I'm going to go read the details. I may need one of these for myself.

Edit: only 4 shots per canister, so that's not great, but it's insanely powerful for an air rifle, and I'm sure you can probably get a bigger canister for target practice. I wonder if you can get a threaded barrel for a suppressor, or muzzle brake.

It's an air rifle, I wonder what how effective a suppressor would even be?

I have no idea how loud that thing is, I don't own it... although I really want to

The suppressor will cut down on the sonic boom from the ammo going supersonic. It works great on the Gamo Magnum and Maxxim air rifles. They're not huge suppressors like on a firearm, but they're big enough that you can shoot the rifle without bothering people or needing hearing protection.

Best christmas ever! Precision rifles and high power optics are NOT cheap

What was your prompt?

That scope alone is like $2000. The rifle is about a grand. So that's a $3000 Christmas present. Fookin noice!

I totally got a shotgun for Christmas one year, I think at 13 or 14. This pic is dead on in my experience.

I'm surprised how often Bing gives the picture a gun when you don't directly ask for it.

Armed guards - no! Too dangerous!

Bodyguards - ok, here are some dudes with big assault rifles and pistols

I'm somewhat amused that the size is relatively accurate for the small boy holding it.

This Christmas Story remake looks like shit. I bet it's filled with right wing political ideas.
