I just found this and it looks rather fun, and for $40 who can turn down a shell ejecting M4.

its illegal here as its classed as a firearm

[Lance Jackass]

Aye, this ones done the rounds before.

If the cap propels the bb, then it is technically a firearm in this country.

did anyone ever try to get one?

Cheers guys, didnt realise this was so old or illigal, I thought it was only classed as a firearm when it exceeded a certain velocity.

ill say it again, did anyone ever try and get one?

[Aod]

no, because they look shoddy, sound shoddy and are classified as firearms in both the UK and america.

Anything that uses an explosive propelant is classed as a firearm in the UK.If it's air or gas powered then it's over a certain power {over 12 ft/lbs}.Sorry i work in old money & it's been years since i've done any firearms orientation so maybe someone else can pick up from there?

This has been out for at least a year now. Made of fail.

Yes we know, read the posts above you and go away.

Yeah, I bought two before I don't want to go into the whole legality issue, this is just my view on it when I had it.
They were crappy at first, in almost every aspect. Low range, low fps, looks, etc
Then I started to mod it, first I added in a tightbore and a custom hop-up (made of hard plastic, as normal hop-buckings wouldn't survive) And with that, there was a great change, I was consistently (well, relatively, when the shells didn't misfire or the caps weren't duds) getting *really really high*fps and range. Then I tried to increase the capacity by modding the magazines, basically I just gutted two of the magazines and mated them back but longer and wider. Lastly was the cosmetic, added a better carry handle and sight, then mounted a scope.
The thing became a temperary DMR, until I got to fed up with loading each shell and jamming/mis-firing; well, I guess it lives up to the Armalite status quo

slightly off topic, but did anyone ever try those shell ejecting springer SKS's?

[TheBauer]

would this be illegal to those in the UK with a firearms lisence?

i was hoping someone could tell me, i made a thread asking in general discussion

[wicaed]

I didn't feel like making a new thread for this, but since it's on the same kind of topic

Strange as it sounds but this would be in the same classification as a high powered hunting rifle used for shooting bambi.It would be very lucky to get through customs & if it did you would recieve a visit from a fully rigged out armed response unit knocking through your door at 6am.Silly as it might sound authorities over here would stamp on this as fast as they would for uncle Boris AK discount shop!
