Does anyone here remember the short lived Larc BB Machinegun? I bought one when they first came out and it was a blast. It was designed to run off a can of Freon but we know what happened to the Freon so I adapted mine to run off compressed air (scuba tanks) and upped the pressure to approx...

Just in case anybody is wondering, I own and shoot Kimbers, Colts,Smith$Wessons,Glocks,Kahrs,Brownings,Rugers,Walthers and Barettas so I don't really get down on any brand of gun.

Originally Posted By: chevrofreak Originally Posted By: Snake42 That was the 9mm parabellum story. Are you sure it was a 9mm Luger/Parabellum? There are many different cartridges that use the same diameter projectile, often with similar bullet designs. Perhaps it was a .380, or a 9x18...
