Air Gun noise... is a problem...

Now with integral suppressors on the barrel, air guns are much quieter... but for a long time now I've been using the Aguila "powderless" Colibri .22's in a Rossi break onpen single shot carbine (16" youth model)... the only noise is the hammer falling and a slight "poof"... and it's accurate enough to hit a coke can at 50 yards... does the trick around my place when I don't want to frighten the chickens or when the family is asleep still... I even use them in my Colt Official Police revolver for rat patrol... no louder than a cap gun and kills mice dead... The only problem is that you still have to "find" a dealer that has the ammo or order it online... yeah.. it's a bit more expensive than pellets.. but makes my .22's much more fun to have around and shoot more often...
