"Don't need 'hummers' any more." Really? Hammers, I should think.

If you had an IZH 46, you could do it the "old-fashioned" way.

It'd be easy enough to make a tubular alignment adapter for this... just a couple of inches of PVC tubing or something with a slot for the front sight, pressing it up against the board to prevent eye-destroying recoil for those who don't have full-face protection. Kind of a waste of pellets though.

At least back away 10m to make a sport out of it.

Now we think about it. Air pistol shooting needs be more interesting and spectacular for people. If you can make some good inner 10s. You will be able to hammer in nail from 10 metres too.

I believe this is why some people call accurate guns 'tack drivers.'

I remember (in the early 90's) a photo production published in a gun specialized US magazine (almost sure it was G&A) that featured a .22 caliber bullet in the precise moment of hitting the head of a nail, shot from a Hammerli 280.

I'll try to find and scan it, it was a high-speed photo caption (probably strobo lighted) showing a perfect 360 degree fragmentation of the bullet.

I think not. First, I remember the nail as being much shorter, and second, I stopped buying US gun magazines back in 2001, and the article you quote is from a 2011 issue.

But you got the idea OK.

It was a "test" of the Hammerli 280.
