Can 13 Books Stop a High-Power Airgun? (Hunter S. Thompson Tribute)
How many copies of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” does it take to stop a .35 caliber slug?
Today, we’re paying tribute to the legendary Hunter S. Thompson in the most “Gonzo” way possible—by putting his most iconic work to the ultimate ballistics test from 100 feet away.
From the new, affordable Pinty Vanguard .22 to the high-tech precision of the KalibrGun Snipe 2 (.30 Cal), we’re ramping up the power to see exactly what it takes to punch through 13 volumes of HST’s finest.
We even bring out the Huben GK1 and the “Terminator” of air rifles—the FX Impact M4 in .35 caliber—for a grand finale involving reactive pellets and a little bit of fuel.
Hunter S. Thompson was known for shooting his own work, and today, we’re continuing that tradition of “technical research.”
🎯 Gear Featured in This Video:
• Pinty Vanguard (.22 Cal): A standout for 2026 budget-friendly PCP power.
• KalibrGun Snipe 2 (.30 Cal): Elite-tier precision and engineering.
