Pegboard challenge: Can you name each gun on it?

[Xun]

I've been into airguns for a while now, and I absolutely love them. Unfortunately, it's tough to find others around me who share the same passion, so I'm sharing it here.

Here is my pegboard challenge :

This is my pegboard — can you name every gun on it? Any favorites?

[bantam5s]

The only one I own is the Umarex S&W model 29,but I see the Umarex Browning buckmark, Umarex Ruger 10/22, Diana chaser with a 3d printed target grip I think,  and a beeman p17 I assume but could be the P1.


I'm not a springer guy but I recognize the Hatsan stock style, no clue what model or caliber.

[bantam5s]

I don't have my guns on a pegboard, but here's a gun for you to try and name.


Here is a hint, the manufacturer is long gone and it's not in .177 or .22

You got so many of them right! It's especially impressive that you not only identified the Chaser but also accurately pointed out the 3d-printed target grip. Amazing!

Break-barrels can be tricky to identify since they all look quite similar. The revolver in the bottom left might be the hardest one to figure out I wonder if anyone can identify it!

That's the manufacturer and of course the caliber, but what model is it ?

I forgot about that one, it looks like the umarex Colt python to me.
I know there's a few co2 pistols modeled after the Colt python, but this one looks like it has the removable plastic pellet cylinders at the back like the umarex.
I don't think it takes shells.

This one is tricky. It's definitely a model E, but I've also come across EB and E9 versions alongside it searching on the internet. I can't quite determine what the differences are, or if there are any at all.

You are a real pro! It's not quite the Umarex Colt Python, but everything else you said is spot on.

That one is probably the most accurate replica-style pistol currently on the market IMO. Here is an 8-shot group from 10 meters, shot from a bench rest:

This one is a Racine made original Sheridan E from 1980.
They would say EB on the box to note the black finish ( though I don't think any silvers were made in Racine ) but the guns were just marked " E SERIES ".
The E9 and E9A were Crosman made examples which had walnut grips.

Is it a Dan Wesson?

[Xun]

Is it a Dan Wesson?

Nope. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think a Dan Wesson can put 8 pellets into a 0.67-inch group at 10 meters.

Diana raptor

[splitbeing]

Hw50 or maybe its an hw30 on top

Hatsan 125th below it perhaps

[bantam5s]

Diana raptor

Now that you say it I can make out Raptor clear as day on it, I never would have associated diana with co2 replicas.

Here's another one, sling studs added by me but otherwise unmodified .

Did some research and it appears to be a Crosman 400

I didn't know we were allowed to research.
I could Google just about any gun, I thought we were supposed to just know the guns ?


Oh well, here's another gun.

All models have now been correctly identified!

Here they are:

HW30s
Umarex Ruger 10/22
Diana Chaser w/ custom 10-meter target grip
Umarex Buck Mark
Beeman P17
Diana Raptor
Umarex S&W M29

Haha, I didn't know that either!

It seems we had different expectations. In my version of the challenge, researching is not only allowed but encouraged. If you've never seen a particular gun before - especially a vintage one - identifying it from a photo takes both knowledge and effort. Plus, I believe none of us have access to every airgun model in person, so searching online is exactly how we expand our understanding. Once you find it, it becomes part of your knowledge!

That said, you are absolutely free to set your own rules
