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.

do they also conveniently sell a dual reticle scope to accommodate two very different trajectories?
