no, but i always thought the ones at the carnival would be fun to play around with. what kind of pressures can that thing stand? About how powerful is it? And how fast does it shoot?

I wnated one that used to be advertised in guns and ammo mag back in the good old days.

Anyone remember that ad? it showed a MARINE I think in a camo cover, choking on a stogie firing a strange looking bb gun that ran on freon for 55.00.

Mm that looks like a homemade job converted brad nailer

Yeah but can you bump-fire it underwater?

I always like the Thompson look alike at the fair. It took a bunch of practice to get the red star totally eliminated.

My dad had one of those when I was a kid. the Freon ate up the orings and corroded it something fierce

Can't remember the name of it, but it sure would rip through some BBs

I've ALWAYS wanted one of those. Has anybody ever seen a privately owned one? If not, why don't they make them? If yes, why aren't they more available?

You can find them for sale every now and again. I saw one on Auction Arms a few months ago. I started to buy it. It finally went for something like $80

Oh yeah, I remember that advertisment, dad never would order me one. Looked so cool too.
