Well that looks fun as hell. I want one. 30rd magazine seems a little small though... of course one of my air pistols has 17rd and the other is 15... but full auto goes through 30 rounds pretty quickly.

Without asking someone stuck a McCain/Palin sign in my yard back in November, that's been my target of late... this thing would probably be enough to cut through the metal stand in the sign.

$350 doesn't sound like too bad of a price, most high quality airguns are in that range. But I'd have to see more than a prototype and at least handle it.

But just from that video, I want it.
 
I clicked the thing on the site and am on their mailing list. I'm hoping it will make production. When I find out, I'll buy one and post!
 
The History Channel just did a Modern Marvels segment on "Strange Weapons, and profiled a fully-auto law-enforcement specific "airsoft" weapon.
Thing runs off a compressed air tank that's a bit bigger than the one on this, and gets some 1200 fps with the airsoft pellets.
It's designed as a pain-compliance weapon...

However, it also shoots aluminum pellets, designed to take out windows for SWAT applications and such. they showed a demo and it made a large pane of plate glass just sort of disappear.
Quite impressive. Unfortunately, I can't find a link...
 
If you like that, it might be worth looking up the Drozd or Blackbird. They are currently commercially available. Although from the factory they are limited to semiautomatic, or 3 or 6 round bursts, they are modifiable to full auto.

I'm personally more interested in this one:

I've looked into the drozd and I'm not a fan. You need way more than a 12 gram (or 3) for a full auto airgun. The Liberty airgun looks alright, but I'm going with higher FPS.

ouch... airsoft pellets don't feel particularly good fired from a toy

But I wonder how accurate an airsoft pellet would be at that speed. Any little imperfection in the pellet is going to catch air and spin way off course.
 
back in the '80s ya could get a pistol which looked kinda like a small MAC 10 which used cans of R12 freon for a propellent(it fir under the pistol grip) and had a hopper thing on top which held a lotta BB's, hundreds for sure, fired full auto only, and was a lotta fun, IIRC ya could also hook it up to an air tank but then it lacked mobility, all for IIRC ~$29.95 or so, i had a lotta fun with mine but the price of R12 pretty much killed this idea, i dont remember the name but they used to advertise in all the gun mags, ya could empty the thing when full in i bet 5 seconds, i dont know about velocity but i killed some grackles with mine so it did have some 'uumph' at close range, a lotta fun for the $$, back then the freon was ~50 or 60 cents a can. did i mention i had a lotta fun with that thing lol?

One of my buddies had one. Another downside of freon is it would start to freeze up the gun if you "autoed" for to long a burst.
 
I remember a full auto airgun that used to be part of many State or county fairs and amusement arcades. You had to completely shoot out the center star on the target to win a prize. This thing was shapped like a Thompson .45, fire full auto, and really spit out the bb's! I haven't seen them in a while though....

This one supposedly had the "spin inducing" feature you see on many high-end airsoft weapons; it was shooting everything into a fist-sized group at what looked to be about 30 feet.

yeah, you know IIRC mine would do that too lol, if ya tried to empty it out, but it was ok if ya stuck with 5-10 round bursts with a short pause beyween the bursts, i had forgot about that little "quirck" lol.

also mine wasnt real accurate, oh it was ok up to 25ft or so, IIRC it mighta had a smoothbore bbl, but it spewed out so many BB's it didnt really matter.

do you remember if theywere smoothbores, seems like they were, maybe not?
 
I think they were smooth bore, inaccurate with limited range. But who cared when you could shred a pop can. :D

I also remember getting near frost bit, trying to warm the freon can when it got frosty from the long bursts. :p

Yeah those things don't shoot BBs, they shoot number 2 chilled shot.

Neat stuff. on a full mag, they would hold about 250 rounds. And they aren't cheap.

I remember those ads, a guys in a steel pot and fatigue jacket chompin' on a stoogie. I wanted one but the parental arrangement forbade it.
 
thats the one, i wanted one for a long time but didnt know anyone that had one, and no 'net in those days, & i was worried it was junk, but i finally took a chance and ordered one, and it was really fairly well made, for the $$, functioned well, went thru freon kinda fast but who cares when R12 was so cheap, went thru BB's pretty quick too but that was the name of the game lol, all in all it was not a bad deal, i had a lotta fun with it, i had moved and didnt have a good place to shoot the thing anymore and a "bud" borrowed it and i later learned he had moved from TX to arkansas with my BB gun of course lol, the jerk, but i suppose i got my $30 outta it in fun by then i had had the thing for 4 orr 5 yrs, i was suprised it lasted that long.

My brother bought one of those, it was called the "Annihilator". They were offered in a carbine version, and later a MAC10 kind of set-up. It functioned pretty well, but as someone already mentioned the freon would freeze up after just a few 5 second bursts. The rate of fire was IMPRESSIVE (I'm talking probably a thousand rounds/minute) and so was the fun factor. It wasn't built real well...but it was only like $39.
 
If only they made one that would shoot steel bb's. HPA or nitrogen cylinder?
