    2015 SHOT Show: Beeman DUAL air rifle

    Beeman, now tied in with Marksman and S/R Industries, is introducing a spring powered air rifle with a twist.
    The air rifle (Model DB2015 )has two barrels clamped together, one being in .177 cal, the other being .22 cal.
    (I forget which is top and bottom) There is a switch or tap lever to control the flow of air to the chosen barrel.
    The idea is that you now have two guns in one, and can tailor your pellet choice to the game at the moment.

    Personally I wonder if this is practical, and I really dont care for the pea-soup green colour and the bogus magazine molded into the stock.
    But, apparently, that is what sells now.

    Velocity is given as .177 at 1000fps, and .22 at 800fps. This is obtained with alloy (light zinc) pellets, so magnum lead pellets will be somewhat slower.

    Yes, it can be done, but should it? I think not in this case.Another answer to a question never asked.

    I was expecting a nice wood stock and something that looks like an old Savage 24. Who is gonna buy that thing? It is hideous! The fake mag really puts it over the edge.
    I like guns....

    That's nice, do they also conveniently sell a dual reticle scope to accommodate two very different trajectories?

    Has a real com-bloc flavor to the styling, perhaps they should include a Yugo with every sale?

    The phrase "Jumped the shark" comes to mind.

    Beeman was so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.......

    Makes me think of the Johnny Seven rifle a friend had when we were kids...
