    Feinwerkbau - Westinger Altenburger GmbH | Air Pistol Model P11



    My newest toy. Entry level Olympic 10m air pistol from Feinwerkbau-precision German engineering that I'm a huge fan of. I have a range set up in my basement and have a couple of old pellet pistols to keep my shooting up to snuff which translates pretty well when shooting my Wilson Combat 45, but I have been interested in one of these highly engineered precision pistols for many years.
    Both of these are stock pics. The air pistol is on order and my 45 is in the safe but is identical to the one in the pic but I have laser grips on mine.

    Alright so I've had this pistol for 2 days and have already almost put 300 pellets through it. It is quite a blast. To be able to shoot a precision German-made, highly accurate(way more accurate than I'll ever be) is a treat. Especially indoors and without having to use earpro. It shoots .177 cal pellets at about 500fps. At 30 ft it'll completely bury a pellet so all thats visible is the entrance hole in a 2x4. Standing with my back to the pins in my basement I can open my garage door, descend a few steps into the garage and get a 10m distance. I've got the target/pellet trap in there and have at it. It gets about 80 shots per fill of the cylinder which I then pump to 200 bar (2900psi) in a couple minutes. Reattach the cylinder and you're back in action. These olympic match guns are pricey but that's what accuracy from highly precise components cost. I figure I would pay for it in .45cal ammo and range fees in a couple years at most.
    The pics are of the cylinder with pressure gauge, heavy duty hand pump, and also the cover of the owner's manual showing 5 shots at 10m. I'll just say that I can't replicate that accuracy yet.
    So as to not completely hijack, here's a website that is the very definition of cool things of all types.

    I'm going to be going to this on Saturday the 1st.

    3D Printer World Expo 2014 - 3D Printer World Expo

    Seems to be really neat and will be the first time I attend. Who knows maybe I'll be one of the lucky people who wins a 3D printer.

    i saw this tonight... to bad it has to look so much like a mustang.. not saying a mustang is bad looking but with a bit of change and tweaking they could have had something that is more original..

    the front of the car is a nice combination.. not bad looking at all..

    I like the retro muscle cars coming out of Detroit but this thing's styling leaves a lot to be desired.
    For that money Id get something European and if American then it would be a Ford GT but I have no idea what they cost.
