At the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries, early cyclists/velocipede enthusiasts seemed to be plagued, however, with curious and often aggressive canines.  This was apparently enough of a common occurrence that René Galand, son of prolific revolver inventor Charles-François Galand, came up with a firearm and cartridge specifically designed for cyclists to shoot at pursuing dogs. The 5.5mm Velo-Dog cartridge was a 30-ish grain .22 diameter centerfire cartridge, though its energy was roughly equivalent to the .22 long.(1)

After moving out from behind enemy lines years ago, my first act was to divest myself of my high-end air guns and stock up on NFA items like suppressors. It was a wonderful feeling. But every so often I get the urge to pick up a new FX or Daystate PCP .25 caliber rifle. Besides being hyper accurate and quiet, they are relatively cheap to shoot. Recently Airguns Of Arizona Announced another make and model that would pull me back into the game: the LCS SK-19 full auto air rifle.
