I dont know the rifle or brand, so i cant advise you on price or quality.

But i wouldn't consider CO2 rifles for SHTF/TEOTWAWKI situation, as it will need refills of CO2 which probably will be in short supply.

for that kind of money , you get a good used springer
pistols are only allowed to be 6psi . rifles are 12 psi . so unless you only want it for garden plinking or practice ,i`d give it a miss .
YES i walked away mid sentence , you were boring me to death and my survival instincts kick in .

Why do you need it?? Is it suitable for what you want to shoot??

Regardless of its effectiveness it looks pretty scary. It might be good as a deterrent if an attacker didn't know what it was. However if they call your bluff you will be in trouble.

Don't do it. Get your self down to a local dealer and for £130 you'll get a nice second hand springer. Then when your ready to upgrade or pass it on you won't lose to much unlike the plastic co2 junk.

I'm going to totally betray my ignorance here, what's a springer?
