Thanks, bro. I didn't mean to sound flippant--keep it just for chasing raccoons--but I REALLY liked the pippa-shaw. I'd missed out on getting one of the .22LR sorta-copies they sold in the 1980s, but found a good secondhand "carbine" pippa-shaw (semiauto only, 16" bbl.) at a Kentucky gunshow--with mags!--and got a tin of "7.62 Tokarev" to feed it. THAT is how much I like the durn thing!
The semiauto is a pretty good plinker and could even be "construed" to be a small-game rifle. Like the Broomhandle, it could be called an "economical weapon:" shoot thrugh three or four foes in a row . . . penetration and range is greater than 9mm Para. Still, that's something I can only shoot in a safe environment--because of the greater range and penetration!
The Airsoft version is the way to go; "kinda like" the real thing in rate of fire; "exactly like" it in looks and handling--and quiet enough and restricted enough in range to let me use it pretty much as I please. AND reasonably "nonlethal!" (If the "biodegradable" airsoft B-Bs K-Mart has really do disintegrate, I could hose down the yard with impugnity!")
I've always been a "marksman." Long range, "Service Match," combat pistol, target pistol. I've been keen on getting something with which I could do autoweapon shooting without the "umbilical" of an air hose, like an old gallery tommygun. I used to clean up at carnivals where they had those! ("Shoot out the star" contests--you know!) I still like to keep my hand in . . . .

) if you want to check and see if he has time to build one for you.
where did you get the gearbox and internals to put inside, and how many fps do you expect it to have?
