The Airgun Weapon Pack

[cerulean karma]

At the moment we have only one airgun in the game, a somewhat underpowered 45 calibre airgun

This weapon pack not only serves to add some new airguns to the game for a wide range of animals weather its the 25 calibre for hunting jackrabbits and coyotes in the Mexican Deserts, the 357 Calibre Airgun for culling kangaroo and goat in the Australian Outback or the New 45 Calibre Rifle with new ammo types that will allow you to hunt animals like Black Bear and Plains Bison in the Colorado Rockies or the 50 Calibre Twinshot, which will allow you to use special shotshells for wingshooting or Airbolts for big game hunting, and if you prefer the Vasquez Cyclone you can still use all the new ammo types with both 45 calibre airguns.

Happy Hunting and make sure your aim is good

We need more air rifles...

And a fix for the hunting pressure on the existing air rifle, which currently produces as much hunting pressure as a loud firearm.... this needs fixing.

Hello @cerulean karma ! Thanks for the detailed breakdown - this is a solid proposal! Expanding the airgun lineup with more calibers and ammo types adds great depth and flexibility across multiple hunting scenarios. I'll be sure to share your ideas with the rest of the team. As always, we'd also love to hear from you at: https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

Dont forget the Zues .72 Cal

[cerulean karma]

Funny enough I did initally forget about it. Speaking of the Zeus 72, the only animals I have seen hunted with it on Youtube are white-tailed deer and pigs where as videos exist of large bovids like bison and eland being hunted with both the 45 and 50 calibre airguns and Cape buffalo with the 50 calibre

[dull night]

There was a hunt with Sambar with the 72cal however after youtube changed their terms & conditions many videos were taken down unfortunately. & I'm not surprised most videos that are still posted are deer & hogs due to PCP's accessibility & use in the US. Cost effectively & use the 58cal. is typically the highest most use. The Zues 72cal is expensive and only has 2 shots unless a new ver. has been released plus it uses alot of air for ea. shot. If they were to release it I'd place it as a 7-9, it hits hard despite being an air rifle & lets be fair hogs are considered pests in the US so regulations for caliber use is pretty much open season, esp. in Texas.

2 Shots, I have that covered with the 50 calibre

To be fair the main reasons I chose it was

1. I needed an airgun that could fire airbolts and the other 3 models don’t do that
2. The specific model I chose can also double as a PCP Air Shotgun
3. I did legitimately not remember the 72 Zeus when making this and I almost even forgot about the 50 calibre airguns

Good to know I can blame Youtube for robbing me of a sambar hunt with an airgun

Funny enough while I was typing that I was cleaning up a bunch of sika deer I shot on Te Awaroa with the 45 calibre airgun we have in the game

The Vasquez with the Argus Scope can clean out sika deer and fallow deer on that map quite easily if you place your shots carefully

😞 yea alot of videos from hikkok 45 were brought down as well it sucks. But I've been looking at PCP airbolts as well they are impressive. Seen a cape hunt with both the airbolt & slug.

[cerulean karma]

The first time I heard about big game hunting with an airgun

It was a Cape Buffalo being hunted and I saw it on Youtube

[dull night]

Yea PCP's were popular in the UK & spread like wildfire in the US. We have a shop dedicated to PCP's here although its a 2hr drive where I live now.

Umarex Hammer .50 cal, it's been doing work for a lot of hunters

[slow vessel]

Bump. More Airguns please

[cerulean karma]

bump

[unkempt jay]

I have thought about the airguns before and I would be interested in a 4.5mm(ca .177) air rifle to shoot birds with. We'd use them on the farm to keep pest birds away from the fields.

[smoky rapids]

May I interest you in

DOUBLE AIRBOW

[cerulean karma]

A strange but unique airgun, I imagine it should be good for hunting big game animals in places that allow the use of airguns and airbows for big game

[smoky rapids]

Well, the single airbow above is supposed to reach 450fps with 169 lbs of kinetic energy, should pretty much rival crossbows, unfortunately not allowed for hunting in my state tho.

I'm still going to order it as soon as I have the cash to spare
