I found my grandpas gat and im holding it in my hand right now. I have flat cap bullet thingies and I don’t know how to reload it.

still got my gat and about 3 darts left. great fun little pistol.

Still got mine from 1976

Great chat fellas…always entertaining and insightful.

god there absolutely crap i had one . couldnt knock the skin of a rice pudding even if you were hit by one

It's always been regarded as an air pistol but it relies on velocity not air ... sorry if I sound a smart arse 😊

Director, where can I watch your film The Libra?

Need the slo-mo guys on it hitting that can. That was quite spectacular.

my first ever encounter with air guns ,,,,, completely loved it

I have a diana model 2 that needs repair; most crucially, it needs the flanged nut on the end of the pellet tube. I'm afraid I'm going to have to make it myself unfortunately

Still got mine from forty plus years ago. 1 dart & 3 original corks..

We used to call them pop outs

i’m 45 yr old this was my first (sluggy) exact same too…i was 13 and my old man bought me one much to the disgust of mum..i had it about 2 weeks until i lined up my sisters barbies against her dressing table ..one of the slugs missed and went through a tin of her hairspray …wotta bang it made man 😂..it was swiftly taken away 😂 brung back good memory’s i had a 2.2 as well (when i was older)

The 70s were good times sheath knife from Wakefield army stores, Walking the the streets knife on belt, Carrying an axe going bonfire wooding whats happened to them days, Gat gun shooting up Airfix tanks, Good one.

The spud gun I remember so well

As kids we had wars with the darts had a few in the head

The GAT was not an 'air' pistol. Like the Diana G2 it worked on inertia. That means, for the pellet to be ejected, the cylinder had to extend and stop abruptly. This made it impossible to actually hit anything deliberately past about 3 feet. Fun gun but absolutely u/s I upped the ante to a Diana G4 - then a Webley when the G4 fell apart because of wearing it out. Fun gun? - maybe - but what's the point if you can't actually hit anything. Diana G2 wasn't much better, just better constructed.

Sold hundreds of these over the years since the mid 1960's. They even made chrome ones and gat rifles. Actually they were rubbish accuracy wise, compared to modern air pistols, but they were cheap and good fun. You could even fire corks in them. A boxed one in mint condition might be worth £60 now to a collector.

Watching this I just realised I have one stashed somewhere in the wood store

This was the biggest Waste of time and money i have ever spent in my life, i bought a brand new one in the 60s with my pocket money and was so unhappy , displeased, and angered with the total lack of any kind of performance in any way shape or form, ( you are just buying a piece of scrap metal ), so much so that i went into my Dads garage put the heap of SCRAP garbage in a vice and sawed it ito pieces and tossed them into the scrap bin, and this was only after two days and i was only about 10 years old, What a load of rubbish this item is, I would of had greater satisfaction and pleasure buying a sack of potatoes. i was 0nly 10 years old and was so dissapointed that i had used my pocket money to buy a total piece of Garbage, YOU LIVE AND LEARN, I am now 69 years old and with my experience woul advise you to buy somthing much better or you may as well throw your money into a SWAMP, kind regards. enything

wow the memories having this as a kid

I concur with every comment here and I loved reading every one of them , so many good memories of meeting up with my school chums in the woods , yes with our Bowie knives on our belts , I was once stopped by a local Bobby “ what are you doing with that knife “ he shouted , “ I’m going too the woods and I need it to make a den and make some arrows and a bow “ I replied, he just shrugged his shoulders and bid me on my way ! Thanks so much for posting this Vlog , happy , happy childhood memories .😊

From a Gat gun pistol- 45 years later- to an Air Arms S510 TR , and all the happy memories and Squirrels that have been sent to the promised land in between😉

Would love to know where our Gat gun went. We had a hand me down from my cousin when we were kids, would love to still have that 😢

Still got my Old Webley Tempest, I had one in the mid 90's, but bought anotyher in 2002, it's like brand new, barly used. Hopefully it will be worth a bit later on.

I had a GAT rifle years ago in the 80s now that was bloody powerful i never saw another.

I had 2 ...😂

I was posh, I had the gat rifle 😂

Never heard of it or seen it in Denmark

Me and my brother felt like James Bond shooting cans in our back garden in late 80's with the gat gun my Dad bought us. Brought up with handling guns made us take it seriously even if it were slightly more deadly than a Spud Gun. I did manage to shoot one of the sodium street lights which exploded raining glowing yellow shrapnel while it was on but we'll pretend that never happened. My Dad still had that Gatgun.

I was a proud owner of 2 gat guns as a kid, then a Daisey repeater, (remember them?) Then licenced my Dad's 1980 Weirauch HW35, which I still have, now I shoot 8mm Mausers, 9mm CZs, .38 specials and do pyro in TV&Movie special effects, BUT!!! It all started with a Gat...😊

My first augun. I remember ys walking to the woods with our air rifles and the coos told us to carry them broken. Best oart is we were all around 11 and 12 years old. Mist cops then were ex army and just accepted boys will be boys and ket us continue in our way, with our barrels broken.

Great memories

Yer my first pistol was a silver Gat, many a happy hours plinking in the back garden, target's was match boxes, cigarette packets, Great day's and lots of safe harmless fun. Wonderful introduction into air pistol shooting.. 👍🏻

God.. These were awefull 😂

Oh my gosh, yes I had one!!!!!!! Thank you.

Still got mine, shoots straight as a banana, could kill a small field mouse of it landed on it, still love it... I'm 46

These were great and the darts could be used again and again!

Its not a air gun. Its a spring loaded gun.

I used to have Gat guns when a kid, they are not really an 'air' pistol. the barrel fires forward, then stops, the pellet just continues it's inertia. Fairgrounds used them with corks.

I always preferred the Diana SP50.

Also could be used as a vicious spud gun 😂

I had a brake barrel webley.

Happy days,when kids could be kids and the nanny state hadn’t reared it’s ugly head yet,

Lol grt memories. Never worked out how they worked. Where was the air pistol part? Seemed to work more like a catapult!

I always thought of it as a slightly beefed up spud gun

is the gat actually an air pistol at all ? I seem to remember reading that it shot by flinging the pellet out, rather than compressed air behind it

Most peoples first air gun. Progressing to Webley Tempests, Hurricanes, target pistols and then onto rifles like The Jackal and the BSA Meteor etc. Sound familiar?

OMG that’s the exact model I had. Mine split where the pin is and had to trash it

I got shot on the ear lobe from one of these (lead pellet) when i was 12, looked like i'd tried to piece my own ear for a couple of weeks. They can really hurt!
