Sure it's cool.......But

Oh yeah. Now that right there is a truly stupid idea. Should bring the AG community into the lime light as soon as an idiot gets hold of it. You know sometimes I wonder just what the frack vendors are thinking. You want the AG industry licensed, registered and limited in the USA? That should get it done.

Now you resellers, ask yourselves, "Do I want to make a quick buck or do I want to ensure the continued sales of unlicensed, unregistered, unlimited, *RATIONAL* airguns in the USA?" Then gently stroke the, "No we will not be carrying this stupidity in our line of merchandise" button.

The absolute last thing we need is a silenced, 16 round, .30 caliber, air powered MACHINE GUN in our community. Worse even than that it's got 48 rounds on tap if you have 4 full mags and 96 if you carry a spare bottle... This is just plain a bad idea.
 
That’s what I thought when I saw a video on YouTube for the AEA Terminator. It was a .357 full auto version destroying a cinder block. “That would be sweet but someone’s gonna have a problem with it. Might be the reason I’ve only heard of a couple semi auto versions make it state side. I think they will let the full auto go until some idiot does something stupid or kills someone. They are too busy going after the AR platform and powder burners. In the governments eyes airguns are not classified as firearms. I think it’s more likely to get banned on a state level. Until then full auto fun for everyone!


Two years max before BATF has to come out with an opinion and when they do, they will revisit moderators as well. Bad idea on every level.
 
Those that don't police themselves get policed.

The problem is the gov't paints laws with broad strokes.

On a side note, I noticed Hatsan is still mounting their scope mounts to the bottle. Stupid. Caused all kinds of POI shifts with the Bully. Bottles aren't firmly mounted and tend to move around with pressure changes and with applied pressure (like when resting against them.) Fortunately, it looks like the receiver has got scope grooves which is how I solved the POI shifts with the Bully.

Those crazy Turk's!!!

Combat or self defense is not what airguning is about and that right there will give us a bad name! Not cool at all and the same goes for that new SK19 as far as I'm concerned.....absolutely no need for it in our sport but so many don't look ahead for the consequences! Same goes for the drones a few dumb asses ruined it for everyone!!!!

See the picture ?

We own and operate an excavation company and used to use a drone for showcasing our work with ground footage and arial it brought clients to table. Then came faa registration then licensure then more insurance. My thought is it was a money tree for the powers that be. So you take our silencing moderators and now we are approach ing a tax stamp and f f l to own and same with this type of air auto platform , we already pay a premium to play just wait until they figure out how much your willing to pay. Soon be running around with rubber band guns with orange tips at ebr

Personally,I fail to see the use for a full auto pellet rifle. Hunting? ...nah. Target use? ...give me a break.

Impress your buddies? ...Sure,as long as They don't have to supply the ammo. (Or the platform said ammo is being launched by.) 

I enjoy my MP40,but sure as hell don't use it to put food on the table. Don't get me wrong,it Is fun! But from a practicality standpoint it's pretty useless.

In my humble opinion,a high powered full auto pellet rifle is a squeaky wheel just Begging to be slathered with a messy glob of government issued grease. Not what any of us need.

No point in thinking locally based vendors will stop selling what folk will then just buy online, the cat is out of the bag, be prepared to join with Firearms in the great Second Amendment battle.

PS I dont think rebranding air gun ammo from "pellets" to "SLUGS" is going to help.

US based folk can still look on the bright side, where I live anything producing over ONE Joule requires a FAC (licence),

it will be a while before you get to that stage.

GOOD LUCK.


 
Murry lawn mowers I believe, years ago had no warning on box or instructions as to “DO NOT PICK UP MOWER AND USE AS HEDGE TRIMMER” well guess what they do now, because an idiot saw a payday and sure he is a couple fingers short of a full hot dog , but he got paid. It will only take one dumb azz to bring on some things to what we love like no more classifieds have to go through a dealer blah blah blah. Please don’t get me wrong I don’t mind rules but am more prone to common sense and common sense says a couple of teenagers in a moment of brainless ness ( teenage momentary loss of common brain function) will get a very big magnifying glass put on us all and a good lawyer will set a precedent that manufactures will go hmmm we can not afford that .......
 
With a cyclic rate of 1000 rounds a minute, at current pellet prices, that would be $120 a minute operating costs. 

So a 16 shot magazine would last about a second ...then you are empty.

Cool ...I guess.

Way cheaper than centerfire or even rimfire. This kind of thing should be left for low powered BB guns....not lethal rounds.
