This is a subject that comes up often, but us airgun enthusiasts already know this. And as we all know, some people laugh at the idea of PCP's being used for home/self defense. But theres also the people who are educated enough to realize that PCP's have evolved to such a point where some models are MORE than enough to keep you and your family safe. Sure, some things are better than others, but a PCP is more than capable. Great subject...great video. Thanks.

Hey Aaron I agree in many scenarios they would be effective. But, you have to be very familiar with your tool. The stealth of smaller pcp’s is a huge advantage in many prepper scenarios. Another advantage you can have is the adversary likely has done very little if any training. Of course it’s not my first choice. I have other options and I do some training with them. The new “Rattler .35”, Leshy 2, and a few like them would be great choices for what you’re talking about. The optic on it would make a huge difference for say a dark space at close range.

I'm about halfway through this video and enjoying it immensely. There's one flaw which is easily remedied. If you're trying to get the drop on someone, you want to be doing that with iron sights at such close range. By the time you find your eye relief in the scope, that evildoer could have gotten the drop on you. If you're only option is a PCP rifle, definitely go with iron sights.

I like lasers. Any reason why people don't? Especially on less lethal stuff, that can take the force easily without going out of alignment.

I agree 100% with all that you said here. I sold everything and only kept two 25 cal PCPs, as clean fire power and penetration, you want something over the 600-700 fps 22 and 25 cal machines. I competed with 30 cal power weapons one day on the range, and my 1,000 fps 25 Cal Hatsan bolt action beat a 30 Cal Winchester in speed, accuracy and had twice the penetration in the same 20" thick block of ballistic gel target. The 30 Cal had a penetration of 9 to 12 inches, and mine typically went all the way through the depth of the target. A 45 grain 25 Cal fired at 1,000 fps has roughly 90+ pounds of force at 25 yards. 25 Cal pistols and regulated PCPs have less performance, but that simply depends on what you can handle and what you can lat down as protective force when needed. And in that regard, I am something of an expert witness as a veteran of Vietnam conflict with three tours. Oorah!

Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Very real world approach to using these types of options for self defense. Great collection of airguns brother. Most of my airguns are for recreational activities. That said, I do have less lethal airguns options along with my firearms for self defense. I added less lethal airguns to my self defense system, because I realized not every self defense encounter required a lethal response. Although the airguns you showcased are basically the equivalent to firearms and would be good alternatives for those who would a firearm and for whatever reason, can't or don't have access to one. Appreciate your input. Good to see another Michigander doing what you do to promote self defense for law abiding citizens. Stay safe and healthy. Peace

Wise words brother. Millions are not allowed Conventional arms. I am trying to reach and teach those people about these options. Also as we saw during covid when supply chains break down it is very easy to cast your own ammo gpr pcp

I would suggest to anyone that's using a PCP for home defense to get at least a 30 cal, 357 preferably in semi-automatic bullpup for better maneuverability. For your optics disregard the scope, top it off with a open sight, Red Dot or laser. A true air Gunner knows the capability of those 357 air rifles, they're just as deadly as using a handgun. Also, there's technology out there in which you can double your foot pounds of energy which is really not necessary.

It's not for everyone, because of the price point. However, the .357 Rattler fires 81gr. JSB pellets at over 1,000 fps producing 200 fpe. Or you can also use 174 gr. slugs at 800 fps generating 230 fpe. It has a very reliable 15 shot fixed rotary magazine. That is semi-auto only. Or, the .30 cal Rattler that has a 17 shot fixed rotary magazine that is select-fire. Using 65 gr slugs generating 200 fpe. I own both Rattlers and also , two SK 19's .

I would not use an air gun simply because I have firearms. However if I was in a situation where I was forced to use an air gun, I have a Gamo Swarm Magnum break barrel and with quick reflexes, you might get a 2nd or 3rd shot off because that particular break barrel is magazine fed and potentially could be considered a repeater. The swarm magnum also packs a powerful punch for a 22 air gun. it can penetrate sheet metal and plywood all day long. I am sure that at close range and good shot placement, it could seriously injure or even kill if need be. But hopefully I will never have to find out though.

Too many factors but definitely have a few that would make someone think twice about the mistake their about to make . R att Ler or sk.without a doubt

Good vibes here., brother put ya eyes Out @ 10 yards ,,yes sir.😮😊

The problem with most PCP's and semi autos is that they have spring loaded magazines which you cannot leave them loaded for long periods of time because the spring tension will weaken and this might cause jamming when you most need it. The Edgun Leshiy is an excellent solution but it is crazy expensive! In my opinion a good home defense setup needs a compact form factor, a revolver magazine, > 30 Joule power and effective penetration which means .22 or max .25 cal H&N Hornets. Not sure how many PCP's satisfy all of the above.

The absolute lethal effectiveness of an air rifle, capable of propelling projectiles at over 900 feet per second, is a testament to its discreet yet formidable nature in self-defense scenarios. This high-velocity capability ensures swift and precise incapacitation of threats, offering a distinct advantage in situations demanding stealth and precision. The lack of loud gunfire reports allows for a covert defense strategy, catching assailants off guard. Its lethal potency, combined with the advantage of silent operation, makes it an invaluable tool for individuals seeking a non-lethal yet highly effective means of safeguarding themselves in self-defense situations.

My friend, I totally agree with you. Air rifles of today are deadly! Most people doesn’t know this fact! The first thing they think is their grandparents BB gun.

It will dump 4 rounds out of the 21 shot mag in a burst, that's the least amount of pellets you can shoot in a burst, it dumps the full magazine in about 1 second, and has never jammed. No man is going to take 10 or more of these in 1/2 to 1 second and stay on his feet. I shoot frequently, so it's always full of air. It sits beside my bed, cocked, locked, and ready to rock.

@aaron cantrell most of them don't push pellets quite fast, their around 1000 fps. Mine for whatever is a hot shot. Thanks for the response.

I think about the same things occasionally however, I have better tools for that job and I train with them occasionally.

I think that most of us are like you. But I know people who don't own a powder burner but just got in the PCP game. This video was for them. Thanks.

Do you know someone who has been hit with one and asked for another?

I have a 50 cal pcp pistol and if that doesn't stop them I also have a new hand held 50 shot rail gun that uses a Ryobi 18 volt battery good for up to 75 feet

A quiet pcp rifle with a good suppressor and thermal scope could be a more deadly killer on the battlefield.. you won’t even hear your buddy dying near you ..

Have a look at what a .22 26 grain slug can do to a coconut at 13mtres?

When purchased my used FX Impact Mk2 it came with eight boxes of .22 cal slugs. I own four .22 cal PCPs and none of them have ever fired a slug. That is because slugs are a scam to me. $16.00 will purchase me 500 pellets and $17.00 will only purchase me 100 slugs. Are slugs five times better or five times more expensive to make? The answer is no!!! So it is a well marketed scam to me. Thanks.

My 25 cals will drop deer at 75 yrds. So intruders within 20-25 ft might have a "BAD" day like you said if I get off the 1st shot. As you said you can have a 9mm, 357 magnum or whatever, but if you don't get off the 1st shot then it's no good. Would I want a pcp rifle in a war zone ? Nope, but for in home protection I wouldn't have a problem with it if I get off the 1st shots and hit the intruder.

what kind of pcp's are these ?

The AEA terminator or the S45 are way better than any of the guns that he is using Semi autos with 300 foot-pounds of impact

I kind of agree. But I’m a bad shot I can’t see that good. And I’m not wearing glasses or contacts when I sleep. Need something bigger than a 25 or 22 cal.

You didn't mention one of the most important things, a pcp rifle has no muzzle fire so no one knows where you shooting from.

i know everybody will say im crazy but i grew up in a time when anyone could mail order to their door step any rifle and shotgun and that included thompson machine guns when my grandfather was a young man so if they start being linked to deaths then they will quickly become regulated and there is no amendment for air rifles

Maybe not sure I guess if it’s the only thing you have

If a pellet gun was all I had I do believe I could use it in a self-defense situation people have been killed by pellet rifles, my KZread channel is All American prepper 13 and I have a video about this and I absolutely do believe used to use a pellet rifle for self-defense, I mean you can buy one at Walmart that shoots 1,400 feet per second and that can cause some serious damage I could possibly kill someone I have over 14,000 subscribers and I hunt with a pellet gun it's all shot placement and they also are good for a prepper for hunting small game without making a lot of noise and very cost-effective.

Good video works for the USA but a completely different ball game here in the UK Not allowed semi auto air rifles all are bolt, only semi i think we can have is a 22LR..

​​@@aaroncantrell8819 Correct. It's sub 12 ft lbs for an air rifle (sub 6 ft lbs for a pistol). Above 12 ft lbs you need a Fire Arms Certificate (FAC). FAC Air rifles aren't all that common, other than for intermediate range pest control. Once you decide to go down the FAC route it's much cheaper to buy a .22LR, .223 etc than a higher powered air rifle. You're right regarding gun violence (and home invasion) in the UK. Most people don't even think about it, it's such a rare occurrence, despite what the media would have us believe. Also the idea that 'you can't defend yourself in the UK' is also incorrect. This is the official statement from the Police and Crown Prosecution Service: "Anyone can use reasonable force to protect themselves or others, or to carry out an arrest or to prevent crime. You are not expected to make fine judgments over the level of force you use in the heat of the moment. So long as you only do what you honestly and instinctively believe is necessary in the heat of the moment, that would be the strongest evidence of you acting lawfully and in self-defence. This is still the case if you use something to hand as a weapon. As a general rule, the more extreme the circumstances and the fear felt, the more force you can lawfully use in self-defence". In essence, the definition of reasonable force in the UK includes killing your attacker if you felt it was necessary "in the heat of the moment". Good video by the way, very interesting.

I have always said that if noise and power is not a concern then a .22 cal rifle shooting short subsonic rounds costing $200 makes more sense than a $2,000 PCP. Most states here are "stand your ground states" so defense of property and self is not a problem. Heat of the moment not withstanding. Thanks for watching and your great comment.

I did not think of the air shotgun for home defense. The Wingshot would do very well. Thanks.

I don't see much difference between powder burner and air guns. Both guns are designed to shoot bullets at high speed. But economics says that for emergency use, powder burner guns are more economical. For example I have 12 gauge maverick 88 shotgun which cost total $300 including taxes, registration and background checki. Compared to that similar air shotgun would cost $1500+. One area air gun really shines is less lethal self defense and air revoloves like HDR50/HDR68 are really awesome for stopping home invaders especially with pepper ball rounds.

A practically silent .22 pushing 60ft pounds is enough to dispatch any human being on the planet given proper shot placement. If you consider a 50 grain .30 cal pellet moving 800fps, no skull or rib or forearm or Tibia is going to stand up to it. Shatter bone, fracture skull, all quieter than a hand clapping.
