I want one. Jump to 4:40 to see it firing.

I wonder how the firearms laws work for something like this. They are talking about taking down feral hogs and coyotes with it so it's got to have some power.

Louis and Clark had a .46 caliber repeating air rifle quite capable of killing a man on their expedition. Not saying the rifle in the video isn't cool, but big powerful air rifles have been around a while.

In IL you need a FOID to buy a .22 and above. I have a good friend who's been in the shooting sports industry for ~40-years. He has one of the higher-end .188 ones that he brought over for me to try out. It's definitely nothing like my Daisy .22 I've had since I was a kid. I can't imagine what the .357 would be like!

I want one that shoots ice pellets so there is no evidence. I could be the ninja assassin I've always dreamed of. Silent and deadly. Like the day after a good batch of chili.

From a federal standpoint, it's not a firearm. State laws vary.
