.22 semi auto "machine gun"

#1 Post by Grizzly »

Any reason why this wouldn't be legal in UK? It's a semi auto 22lr.

They could do a M2 50BMG to keep the scale right and be UK legal :good: Finding a range that would let you use it might be the sticking point!

Long long ago when fairies dwelt in the land and there were gnomes at the bottom of the garden I had a rig which mounted four 10/22 barrelled actions which were fired by turning a handle which was connected to cams that tripped the triggers, it would make an impressive display of "splash" in the sand back stop. Very popular but pricey to feed even in .22rf, it would certainly rattle through the rounds.

You might fall foul of the discharging of multiple rounds without repeated pressure on the trigger side of things, I dunno.

To avoid disappointment I think I'd prefer the scaled down version. Like the mini cannons they shoot at WNSC.
