    Is the Drozd a rifle or pistol?

    I'm very thinking of purchasing one of these guns and heavily moding it so that it can be used for ratting.

    Due to power restrictions is a pistol or rifle, I suppose I could uprate the power to nearer to legal limits.

    Thanks

    Thanks,

    5.5 ft lbs is enough, I suppose.

    For rats - most certainly if you restrict your range.

    I'm afraid the Steyr is very far out of my price range,
    I'm thinking about bulk filling the drozd and a barrel extension.

    Sounds interesting - you'll have to let us know how you get on

    The bigger mag on the drozd will be a big help - nothin quite like the "bang bang bang bang bang - click..." of a 5 shot clip emptying with a rat making for your trouser legs

    Not sure what the accuracy of the drozd is like though? IIRC it's a copper BB jobby so I'd take care to ensure the accuracy is there before you start - lead BBs might help?

    ATB,

    Exclamation Hey about the Drozd

    You can modify they drozd to what ever you want. If you short circuit the switch you can render it fully auto of 6 4 3 shots, at 450 500, 600 rpm. Be aware this is illegal in the UK, So I presume that you're in the US people have done crazy things with the Drozd, I'm a Drozd owner too.
    For more power in FT/LB use Lead Ball Bearings
    For more Speed and sparks on concrete use Copper steel bb's.

    If you render it fully auto it's a rifle I would say
    Otherwise it's a really big pistol

    There you go, modify the Pistol/rifle to your hearts desire.
