Most all of the vintage Crosman repeaters, models 102, 104, 118, 400, 600 use a system that is effectively the same as the Girandoni. They all have tube mags aligned with the barrel. The only real difference is the method of opening and closing the transverse shuttle.

The twisted rod mechanism seen in the 400 and 600 models came to designer Rudy Merz from watching his son play his accordion that used such a mechanism.
