Begginer of airgun at Auckland

thank you mate.

Heard that someone just lost three fingers playing with PCP because of the failure of container.

Higher the altitude the thinner the air is, the thinner the air the less that will go into cylinder. So yes less power higher up.
You can buy CO2 guns, they are differnt from pcp and you don't need a licence to use them.
But they all have limitations.
Look up on the Web, what are the three main types of air rifle.
Then look up fps and fpe.
I can send you to a site that has a lot of info on stuff but you will need a basic understanding of air rifles, pellet speed and pellet energy (fps, fpe or what ever the metric units are.)
Probly pay to look up pellet types and weight as well as shape.
Then look up the difference between a target shooting set up and hunting rifle set up.
But mostly for now just enjoy shooting with your air rifle, have fun and as time goes by if you want to upgrade you'll have had plenty of time to learn what's out there but more importantly you'll have a better idea of what sort of air rifle will suit you better.
Oh look up triggers for air rifles too. They can make a huge difference to accuracy.
Have a read through the sig asp20 thread on this site. There's a whole heap about differnt pellets we have been using in them. It will give you an idea about how pellets affect accuracy.

Wow，thanks. but there are lots of panic buying when the covid-lock down is coming. what I mean is that if she really concern about self-defense and she won't win in a fist or blade battle against gangsters, should she directly get FAL and buy some semi-auto wapon like AK47 rather than low power airgun?

Thanks. That's very useful. by the way, is the club very expensive? I only find some small bore firegun shooting club by Google and seems costing a lot...

When I got my first air rifle in many years, I brought a gamo fusion, 10xmag, roadster model. About 700 bucks with scope. It was the most problematical gun. You can go back through posts on this site and see.
Being so annoyed at it (I still think I got the one rubbish one out of a thousand) I then spent around 1300 on a top of the line gun.
The difference like night and day.
If you can save your money for a really good quality rifle it's worth it. Especially for target shooting.
In my opinion your better off doing that than buying a few cheap ones that won't be as good. When you have a good rifle then you can by not such good quality rifles and if they turn out no good, doesn't matter you'll have a good one to use anyway.
Having said that my favorite gun is 1322 which is a cheap pistol that I've upgraded a little with stock and longer barrel and put the gamo scope on.
I love it. Its a close range bird gun.
But it came after the top line one. I'm glad I have a good quality gun and scope that will do targets, whack rabbits and hares at distance and long shots on birds only thing bums me out is the gamo cost me the price of a better quality gun with all the running around and parts. You live you learn.
If you think your going to get serious about target shooting CuteRabbit don't waste time and money on cheaper rifles they won't preform as well and won't hold resale value.
By the time you have 2 or three OK rifles you could have brought one awsome one.
Look at some of the sig targets in the sig posts, ( target shooters ones not mine) tight groups, that is the rifle, pellets and shooter.
Air arms, weihrauch, are names that constantly get spoken highly of.
