Semi automatic multi shot airrifle ???

[warbucks]

Why is it that the manufactures like Daystate ( Daystate seem to be pushing the boundaries) or any of the other top manufactures, dont come up with a semi automatic. Crossman do the nightstalker which will do 12 shots as fast as the trigger can be pulled, doing up to 350 shot on a 88g co2 bottle, just imagine a Daystate airwolf 10 shot semi automatic, that can fire the pellets as fast as you can pull the trigger, with the Dayestate accuracy, now wouldnt that sell. Does anyone know why this carnt be done ??? your comments anyone please.

They have done it.

Thats becuase the crossman nightstalker is less than 6ftlb's, so classed as a pistol.

FX make 2 semi-automatics. Semi -auto's are illegal in this country but not abroad nor elsewhere.
They are called the Revolution and the Monsoon, both have had teething troubles but generally are awesome rifles.

If you go to their website and watch the Download section there are 2 clips, The FX Challenge and the semi-auto show.

Both totally awesome vids.

If it was my choice i would have the Monsoon with a bipod and a NV rig in a.177 FAC flavour. Then i would just site myself around my busiest warren about 50m out with a slight breeze in my face and just wait for the crowd to appear.


But thats just me!!

No they're not.

...But I was told and read here some years back that semi auto was technically not allowed at lest with a rifled barrel .
Others with a stronger grasp of the frivolities of the Law as it relates to airguns being treated as fireams , can tell for sure , but the aforementioend semi auto by Crosman is a smoothbore for this very reason . I was even told by Brocock that if the same model is sold on the Continent then its rifled for accuracy but here has to be converted to smoothbore as considered a firearm - even to it only does 6or 7ft/lb
Nonsense and stupid for all to see .

Correctomundo!! Cannot have a rifled barrel semi-auto air rifle here in the UK as it is deemed illegal.

Always thought semi auto air rifles were illegal in the UK!

[bripard]

blimey just as well they dont make them,
just imagine the cost, its bad enough using a 14 shot mag,
you get through enough pellets now,
