    Some lovely pictures there, thanks for posting these, Tom

    This one has me intrigued - can anyone tell me what it is and what the bolt-action thingy on the side is?

    atb, Glyn

    It's an HW35 Barrakuda. The bolted on tube is an ether injector linked to the compression chamber to increase combustion and with it the oomph behind the pellet. It did work, but quite upredictably so accuracy suffered. Hence the low numbers built.

    As others have said.......brilliant....many thanks for your time and effort

    There were some beauties on there, I especially liked the pneumatic pistols styled like percussion guns, and the one with the globe air chamber......when I have time etc. etc.

    Also....the fairground airline fed tommy gun brought back some memories!.......were these made by Chicago Pneumatic inc. ???.......now that would be a crowd pleaser at rivi or a similar charity event....I used to chat to the stallholders at a classic fair, and they said these REALLY rattle out the rounds if you crank up the pressure.......they run them slow to allow for their age etc.
