    Now you are talking. With blowback. I'd like one of the target versions please.

    Yes, sadly, given that the real thing in steel had only marginal operating power with the recoil of a .455" Webley cartridge, I have a feeling that any attempt to copy it in light alloy in CO2 form would not function - unless it got about 6 shots per 12g CO2 cylinder. I mean the Umarex DE has a very light slide and turns a small light cylinder when it cycles, but runs out of gas after around 25 shots (and is NOISY).

    You might be able to make it work OK with a 95% plastic upper, but who would want a 50% plastic Fosbery?

    Well, maybe me. If it worked. But not many others.
