If choosing a PCP don't forget you'll need to charge it too. Either a pump or dive cylinder. My R10 being a buddy bottle rifle can and has been pumped manually, but I was ready to deposit a lung on the carpet afterwards. I immediately went out and bought a dive cylinder. As for plinking in the garden, that's fine provided a safe backstop is used. I don't need to tell anybody especially our friendly boys in blue (Pete

) that pellets should not be allowed to leave your boundries. I also use silencers on my PCP's too, without one they go with a heck of a crack, not dissimilar to a .17HMR round, perhaps not quite so loud but not far off.
