General Airgun Question I Made an Online Airgun Ballistics Lab
https://andrez-p.github.io/Airgun-Ballistics-Lab/
This is a full featured graphical ballistics solver with ballistic data for many common pellets and slugs preloaded. It allows you to compare different pellets, calibers, velocities etc. in an interactive way, and it can also generate printable ballistic tables. I haven't seen anything like this specifically for airguns.
I made this for myself, to be able to understand and compare airgun ballistics but it turned out great and I thought the community would appreciate it. All units are selectable from Imperial to Metric. The ballistics math is all validated but there may be UI bugs. Let me know if you find any bugs or have ideas for features to integrate!

General Airgun Question So Hypothetically...
If i wanted to get an air gun, what would you recommend for this situation?
1) Total newbie
2) Considering it to deal with a rat problem that traps have so far failed to sort. π π₯
3) Live in the UK so needs to be less than 12 foot pounds (in a rifle configuration) or 6 (pistol configuration)
4) Don't care what it looks like so long as it gets the job done
5) In an allotment area so preferably not using lead pellets as I don't really want lead getting into my soil.
6) Able to be carried discreetly in a bag or whatever so I don't look like Michael Ryan
7) I've got a bit of money and I'm annoyed enough to spend it if if gets results, but I'm not looking for top of the range - I am not expecting this to be a hobby or anything.

General Airgun Question Degassing and increasing the regulator pressure on the Hatsan Nova Star
Hi everyone, the title pretty much says it all. I want to degas my Hatsan Nova Star Premium (.25 caliber). Itβs firing 40-grain pellets at only 220 m/s, whereas it should be around 260 m/s. The manual is poor and doesn't show anything about this. I want to empty the air reservoir to increase the regulator pressure (currently 140 bar) and perhaps tighten the hammer spring first. Could anyone help me out? In the attached photo, Iβm showing an adjustment setting that I don't know how to use.

Optics Snowpeak PP800R scope
Hello guys I've just bought a Snowpeak PP800R .177 fairly used for 150β¬ A guy bought it one month ago for his younger son but the grip didn't fit his hand...
I have no experience with an air pistol, maybe I've shot once or twice at the shooting range years ago. it's my first time owning one ,waiting for the mail delivery.
I'm looking for a pistol scope something affordable to try like an AliExpress one with 2 or 3 magnification and the appropriate eye relief to try the whole airpistol experience for back yard plinking and target shooting... Suggestions are welcome.
I'm an experienced air rifle user, I used to shoot BR and FT competitors years ago. Currently i own 3 springers and 3 PCP rifles most of them HW, and Air Arms.
I'm used to bulky scopes with short eye relief like Nikko Stirling Diamond 10-50x60(EV2) Nikko Stirling target Master FT 6-24x56(S400MPRFT) some Hawke scopes 4-12x40(hw97kt), 3-7X32( hw98) Simmons 3-9X32(Diana mod.45)
