It just sucks they aren't repeaters. It would be nice to be able to make multiple shots even if you had to break-barrel each time. I do also worry about handling that much lead. Lead makes you stupid and I really don't need any help!

Meh, I'm dumb enough that it won't effect me. I gotta imagine breathing shit in and ingesting it is way worse than a little seeping through your skin.

As far as repeaters go, that's why I currently have a hard-on for the Benjamin Marauder... PCP, 8 shot repeater, dead accurate, and pretty powerful.

The PCP's are cool but, I don't like the issue of having to recharge. I like having a permanent power supply. Have you seen the big boys? .50 cal and above! They're taking down cape buffalo with those things!
As for the lead, you don't realize how often you touch your face during the day! I didn't until I started working with certain UV reactive chemicals and when I get home I hit the black light and it's quite a shock!
