Re: Gas Piston vs Springer
Pumping is a pain but a pumper is sure fine to shoot without that springer sensitivity to hold. Two pumps on the Benjiman 177 does for plinking, four for nasties.

Re: WW II jacket emblems, help with ID
"they weren't fighting for flag and country"
Yes they were, as much as the Americans who joined Canadian or British forces before 1942 because they couldn't wait to get into the fight.
My understanding is that most of the AVG transferred in place to US forces when the AVG disbanded.

If it's a side mount laser don't zero dead on. Stay parallel with the bore and adjust so your rounds strike as far left or right of POA as the laser is from the bore axis. Then the error will be constant, and small, at all ranges.
