I graduated from my numerous bb guns to a Crosman CO2 powered .22 pellet rifle. It likely wasn't as strong as your Meteor, Franc, but it accounted for small game as well. I got my oldest grandson one just like it when he was about 7. I still have several boxes full of the CO2 "Powerlet" cartridges and his rifle. There is a way to hot rod that rifle and make it use more CO2 each shot, increasing the velocity. I may try it someday.
One thing I still wonder. Why pressurized CO2? Why not just pressurized air? Anyone know?
