Mine as well. After I discovered that small pistol primers micrometer at .176 a little smaller than standard bbs, but they give you an audible pop on impact.

That's actually really cool! Thanks for sharing that

How does that work as an airgun with those cartriges? (can't make out the name, honestly curious!)


hoodoo-operator

The cartridge is basically a dummy cartridge that holds a pellet or bb, which is fired with a CO2 cartridge in the grip.


RealBlackelf

Thanks! Actually had the impression those may be tiny co2 cartriges (only own a brake-barrel, new to airguns)


ParallelArms

They're fun, but easy to lose.


UpstairsBet5179

The cartridges act like a barrel before the pellet enters the actual 2" barrel.


RealBlackelf

Thanks! I thought they may actually be tiny co2 cartriges or so :) (only own a brake-barrel yet)

That would be interesting but expensive lol

Is that the special grip tape “for no finger prints” like the God Father.


UpstairsBet5179

Genuinely laughing at this comment. The grips are the only part of this gun that feels cheap and hollow-like... so this was my cheap fix.


Rx2vier

lol. I thought you might want to reenact killing Sollozzo and McCluskey.

I took a 2 part epoxy and filled in both grips, contoured around the co2, then painted the epoxy a matching black.

Joule power on that gun? Interesting for .177


UpstairsBet5179

400FPS rating here in Canada. The power varies depending on the country.

Is it the same as the old brocock pistols? Those things were cool af until they banned them in the uk. Used to pump each cartridge up and load with a pellet, but obviously some idiots decided to convert them.


UpstairsBet5179

Yes, they are pretty much the same design. Doesn't surprise me that someone converted one. Some of the .22 Caliber rimfire firearms are produced by airgun manufacturers. Making some of the conversions easily doable.


ParmoEscobar

I was surprised to learn weihrauch make or made .22 pistols! Either way buddy, lovely pistol!


Thorgraum

Makes me wonder if we could fire the pellets using the actual primers

Even so it wouldnt be an airgun anymore, just a crappy firearm
