Shooting and collecting replica air pistols is an increasingly popular hobby around the world. Whether these are 6mm Airsoft pistols or airguns firing steel BBs or pellets, these replicas mimic the appearance and in some cases the function of firearms and are used both as a supplement to training with firearms and as an alternative for target shooting.Replicas are cheap, fun and safe to shoot which makes them a good way to conduct low-cost firearm safety training and many are sufficiently accurate and powerful to be satisfying target shooting pistols in themselves. But replica air pistols aren't just less powerful firearms; they are complex pieces of equipment in their own right which function in a completely different way and are designed and manufactured to high standards. Replica air pistols incorporate rubber and nitrile seals and other components not found in firearms. To keep them working properly, you need to perform specific and very different maintenance. If you use the wrong lubricants or cleaning techniques on your replica air pistols or even if you store them incorrectly you can damage them. This book provides step-by-step guidance on;-Which greases and oils to use and those you must avoid-Simple cleaning and lubrication for all replicas-Advanced lubrication of trigger assemblies-Safe storage-Shooting tips

New York State. 1971. A young girl leaves her house on an errand and never returns. A predatory paedophile is trawling the streets of Rochester, NY, luring children into his car, sexually assaulting them and then dumping their bodies in nearby areas. Three shy 11-year girls are murdered and the police begin a desperate race against time to find the killer before he can strike again. Investigators have suspects, car sightings and evidence that the girls may have known their abductor. But the one macabre thread that seemingly joins the tragic victims is that all the girls have alliterative names and all are dumped in towns beginning with the same letter as their first and second names. A strange coincidence? A chance first killing that became a compulsion or a chilling peep into the murderer's twisted mind? Read the full, spine chilling story of the shadowy killer known only as 'The Alphabet Killer.'
