You may have noticed that there has been a large influx of new members lately.  In an attempt to help all members (especially the new ones) to understand the language used on this Forum, I have been working on a little project.

Please help me by adding to the list with your posts.  And if you see errors, please tell me, but be gentle.  I will modify my original post to include your additions so that the entire list can be viewed in one place.  Thank you for you patience and cooperation.  Please scroll down.

**There is also a very good list found in the GTA Library = GTA General Air Gun Glossary Of Terms This is the best idea I've come across since I joined. It is frustrating to be reading a post and not know what is being talked about. I'm new, but if I can add anything , I will. MSP= multi stroke pneumatic.

Thank you for reading me - and I am still updating the list.     Mike

vinenator:
alphabetic order, please. when looking for something we don't know, having them categorized doesn't really help much. maintain in Excel and it is easy to sort them.

Motorhead:
Bugs ..... Bunny or Rabbit
Grinner .... Opossum

Good list so far   ;)
