I am not an expert but my understanding is there are only two systems that operate a semiautomatic firearm.. That is gas and blowback. I guess for airguns you could add electric as a third system as used on the old Evanix select fire guns. All of the pellet and BB semiautomatic pistols that I have seen use blowback. I have the Hatsan Sortie and it works very well in semiautomatic using blowback providing it s tuned properly so that there is enough blowback force to completely compress the hammer spring and the reloading spring..
I am seeking funding to take my concept for a non-blowback semi-auto suppressorable air pistol to production. Can't share many trade secrets, but suffice to say it relies heavily on pixie-dust. Partnership ventures start at $500k.
Wish it was belt fed for the max capacity the cylinder is good for. The compact might be my next gun. I'm going to Tennessee soon and was going to stop by Plinkertons an check it out. Is yours 22? How quite is it with the moderator? Thx
The Steyr LP50 semiautomatic pistol only comes in 177 caliber and with this existing custom LDC fitted as shown it sounds as loud as a spit or like a cat sneezing. Without it you may think it sounds like a 22 Rimfire.
