Semi autos / blowbacks

[MartynB]

Hi Guys

I'm somewhat confused by why some of these were sold (Blowback DE for example) but then disapeared from the market.

Also, why some have rifled bores (DE) and others like the Beretta Storm rifle are only smooth bore. Is this due to the letter of the law and was the DE removed due to some anomoly ?

Apologies if I've msised something here.

I have a mint and still box blowback DE - great fun but don't get to use it alot, probably only used 2 or 3 cartidges.

Same for the Storm.

I was just curious to know why there seem o be those oddities regarding rifled bores etc.

It seems that semi-auto 'rifles' up to 6ftlbs and smooth-bored are acceptable under the law, possibly as they aren't true semi-auto as the magazine is still indexed by the trigger. There's doesn't seem to be a problem with semi-auto pistols and the Beretta PX4 is still available as are target pistols like the Steyr LP50. The Deagle is probably still available but no-one's asking for it these days so we don't stock it.
