    Freaky Incident

    As I was leaving Walmart in my pickup out on the street was this agitated nutcase. Really agitated, high on crack or something. Shirtless. Walking back and forth over maybe 20 yards. Carrying and shooting a rifle at cars. Got past and reached for the cellphone to call 911, when I noticed he cracked the rifle and pumped, so likely just a Break Barrel Air Rifle like the Crosman 30021 Break Barrel Air Rifle (looking that up now). Still, I was going to dial 911 when a Bexar County Sheriff's car came up with lights a-flashing. Lost sight as I turn a corner and saw another cop car coming. My thought being the idiot, the deputies might not see it's an air rifle when he points at them and they shoot him down. Never did call 911. A little later, on a local neighborhood forum, there were posts warning people to stay away, one reporting the dude had stripped completely naked.

    Was it an assault air gun? Did it look mean?

    I have a 177 caliber break barrel pellet rifle. With the right pellets, it will shoot at 1200 FPS. You could seriously injure, or even kill someone.

    If he stripped naked he had no place to keep the pellets and the break barrel is pretty easy to identify.
    That and no ammo would leave him not being a threat.
    Shouldn't have been to big of a deal to apprehend him.

    Any idea how it turned out?

    Have you tried any of the lead free pellets?
    So far I haven't found any that can beat the accuracy and consistency of lead pellets.
