there is this .25 caliber pellet gun that is one of the coolest looking guns ever. It throws a 42 grain bullet at 1100 fps. For compressed air, that is incredible. Check it out its call the bounty hunter by air force

Lol, there's nothing "poor man" about PCP air guns. A quality .223 suppressor is about 1/2 the price of a good PCP gun and carbon fiber air tank; maybe 1/3 the price.

Carbon fiber tank your looking at close to 700 dollars. I think the bounty hunter is another 750. Would be a cool setup though for sure.
