[matty86suk]

Yes, they are legal. There is a Russian made gun, that one of the dealors sells.Baikal or something like that is the brand.

Yea there fun to i had a couple stopages well playing with my friends auto airgun.

I don't see why not. My paintball gun shoots semi, burst and full auto. It is set to shoot at 240 fps. No problems so far.

Search for Drozd. There is a guy in Russia making a new board that allows this gun to shoot 1200 bb's/min. They are legal in Canada because bb's are so light that even if the gun shoots over 500fps, the fpe is still low.

Not if it's full auto and over 500fps and 4.2fpe. then it is prohibited.

I have one, it is great! A pig on the CO2 though.

 

[fat tony]

Well I guess it could be semi auto only, I would like to see them try and classify that as centerfire or rimfire.

 

[idontknowjack]

Airguns have their own classification, so I don't see what you're getting at?

Strictly speaking, the Drozd is not a full-auto BB gun....It is a burst fire gun, but by "feathering" the trigger, you can get a full-auto type mode....

If your on a budget an Umarex "steel storm" is a nice fun shooter.It is only 80 buck and has a select fire switch from Single shot and 6 shot burst mode.It is not a hog on Co2.Gets several hundred shots from 2 Cartridges.Quite accurate as well with RWS match grade BB's.

With the modded board I mentioned, it is full auto. No feathering needed. Stock, it is burst. Board seen here... http://www.drozdmax.com/dmax-drozd-bb-gun-1200-rpm-mod-b1200.html

These can be easily modded to full auto as well and converting to HPA isn't difficult.
