• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

That's the first thing I thought, too. If you heard it, it wasn't a bb or pellet gun...

You got shot at by something with a LOT more sting than an air-powered "toy"... :shocked: This could have been a trip to the Hospital or worse in fact!
This kind of crap just ticks me off... :gaah:

I feel better now...
 
Coz, I agree with the others, if you heard it, it was not a BB gun :yikes:. Did it hit the :spyder2: or just something nearby? Small caliber .22 might be heard before the bullet hits, I have been able to watch the actual bullet of .22 shorts as they travel away from me they move so slow. Anything bigger it would of been lights out before the sound. Stay safe and stay away from there!!!
 
pellet gun

i'm pretty sure it was a pellet gun. i have two of them, so i recognize the sound, and the low speed of the projectile. a .22 pelet can still do some damage though.:(
 
THE LITTLE GUYS

Hey Bob, except for the size and color those little guys remind me of ME and my solution for certain events/situations..:yikes: :gaah: :agree: :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Probably shot high, And you can hear it, It's the sound of the projectile going bye.
Projectile's make two distinct sounds, The first the projectile going though the air,
Then the Propellent.
In Nam it was called ... The crack and the dud.:shocked:

Glad to here your ok. Pretty scary out there these days. Had a customer in my shop this week with a bullet hole in the B Pillar of his Grand Marquis about 4 inches from his head. He is a senior citizen who was minding his own business heading home on the highway. Heard the noise but didn't realize what it was until he got home..

Stay safe and away from that neighborhood. :pray:

I have had a few and the 1,000 fps barrel cock pellet rifles beat the sound barrier like a rifle and have a crack.
They can kill a squirel at 100 yards ! Your lucky!
 
I was in that same area last night!

Holy crap, Glad you are OK Coz! I was over there last night also but not on the Spyder, my wife and I went to Terry's Turf Club for Dinner.
