This video from Shooting Gear Reviews, presented by Ben, outlines three primary reasons to own an airgun in addition to firearms: accessibility, usefulness, and prepping applications. Airguns offer easier acquisition without background checks and allow for shooting in more locations, like backyards, providing more practice time. They are also versatile for pest control and survival scenarios, with some models being quiet and requiring no external power source beyond manual pumping. The presenter emphasizes that airguns are not replacements for firearms but valuable complements to a collection.

The Umarex NOTOS in .22 caliber is a budget-friendly PCP air rifle ideal for new PCP users and close-range plinking or pesting. Its compact, quiet design, easy filling, and adjustable stock make it user-friendly, though its limited shot count and 50-yard accuracy preclude competitive bench rest shooting. The reviewer highlights its maneuverability and reliability for light, close-range applications.

This review of a budget Herum Red Dot sight and a resetting air rifle target highlights their performance under the abusive conditions of air rifle recoil. The Red Dot, despite its low price, demonstrated surprising durability, holding zero after significant shooting and a fall. However, it suffered from a difficult zeroing process and a less-than-clear reticle. The resetting target is suitable for low to medium power air rifles and CO2 pistols, offering quick setup and a reversible face, but it's not robust enough for high-power air rifles.
