I get aggravated at myself

I just bought a old build, street legal / drag race car.
Trying to both update some things that need updating, and changing things for a few different reasons.

DRIVING me up a freakin wall, the way that the original builder did some things, good drugs I guess...

Not too many guns bother me.
Although I do have a Weihrauch HW100 Bullpup, that I can't get to hold air. Shoots well...just have to fill it...every day.

is .357 good enough for wild hogs

Just my two cents, a wild boar has a thick gristle armor plate behind his shoulders even some powder burner wont penetrate completely. Sows and piglets are another story. I personally would stick to Headshots for a higher rate of success and a clean ethical kill. If you get a chance check out nomadic pirate, he’s killed more hogs than anyone I know on here with an air rifle.

are the cheap compressors on ebay worth it ?

its mostly a matter of expectations vs duty cycle .. the cheap compressors are absolutely perfect for poor people and light duty use, ie a tank fill here and there a couple times a month maybe .... now take the guy with too much time and disposable income on his hands, sits at a bench all day burning up thousands of pellets a month, and literally he empties 3 tanks a day and successively fills them every evening .. no .. just no .. a cheap chinese compressor never was, isnt, and never will be, designed to support that .. it takes a 'special boy' to even attempt to use one to support that kind of compulsive behavior lol ...

We need a slug challenge.

You've got a 3.5" tall playing card on there for a size reference. Your far right and far left shots are further away from each other than the height of the card, by what seems to be about double. So a 6.5-7inch group @ 200 making that a 3.1-3.3moa group. 15 shots though, which is a plus.

4/15 sounds occasional to me. The 4 that touched the card aren't your average accuracy, they're the outliers. To do that 2 dozen times you'd need to take 90 shots, assuming a continued 4/15 hit rate (4/15 = 24/90). You're missing a lot more than you're hitting. You've chosen a difficult target, I'll give ya that.

Next time you're at the range, try shooting 5 consecutive groups of 5 shots each, or even 25 shots in a row, trying to center a bull, and then share that. 100 or 200 yards, whichever you prefer.

Umarex M1A1 Thompson - Ammo & question

Recently purchased the gun. Been using Daisy BB’s- no problem. Then tried Excite low ricochet and Gammo lead; both with idea to curb bounce back. Neither would chamber properly. Have Dust Devils and Hornaday Black Diamond- have yet to try either. Any feedback? Love the gun- play Combat episodes while shooting- hey I’m 70- returning to youth is great. Just like shooting my 1894’s while Cheyenne plays.

Also, for those that have them; between the Grease Gun and MP 40- both by Umarex- any preferences between the two and/or issues.

Finally; can you purchase the Butt Stocks for the Thompson someplace?

Thanks in advance.
I do have a solution for the hard screw in and removal for the M3 grease gun Co2 issue. I used Silicone Oil CST 350, that solved the problem as long as you remember to empty the Co2 (all of it) from the gun it works fine, like the other Umarex guns.
100% Silicone Oil CST 350 is a thicker Silicone oil with a viscosity of a 30 weight oil. Screwing the Co2 in and out is no problem, it just needed a thicker silicone oil.
