I sure hope that is an airsoft, because I could not consider a backyard range with penetrating power of bullets safe at all. That is fine for paintballs or pellets, But even with callibre pellets I always insisted on a backstop.
My son used to sit on the staies an shoot into the basement with callibre and BB’s and I was on a business call and heard this metallic clang. I end the call and go downstairs and found behind the box that he was shooting into was my 4 inch copper sewage pipe with dents in it. I insisted on using phone books after that as filler material for the backstop.
Have to agree with RAH, rule 4 is definitely an issue, with what we’re shown, with the neighbor’s house/second floor windows right there. The sound says air gun, but still…
Sounds like a CO2 cartridge model Airsoft, with realistic slide action (completely cosmetic, of course).
I’d like to get me one of those. I have a couple of the regular pneumatic ones (compressed air, rack the slide for every shot), but the CO2 ones look cool.
I doubt it puts out enough FPS to crack a window, much less shatter one.

Looks more like IPSC than IDPA…

Yea you have to use cover in IDPA. Just another reason why IPSC is gay.
