I just discovered this rifle, and it looks awesome! Here's a picture:

This rifle is pnematic and is single shot .177 BB and pellet. Made between 1985-1990 and shoots at 450 fps (BB) and 400 fps (pellet).

combination bb/pellet guns suck. If it was a co2 powered semiautomatic pellet repeater then I'd be on it like a fly on litter.

I agree, but I'm just saying it looks cool. (M16)

It also doesn't use co2, so you can pick it up anytime, and let go a few rounds. The cold doesn't bother it either.

The best use I have for mine is shooting mice at the cottage. Using BB's ,they don't exit & kill quickly. Safety glasses are a must because of ricochets.

What it's copied after is the Colt AR-15

I was looking to see if anyone owns one of these AG's and came upon this post. Kinda made me laugh abit M-16. Anyone who see's these thinks of the M-16 all of the time. You should try and shoot one but with a Centre Fire .223caliber

I get to in a few more months... C7 actually, but it's modified from the M16A2 so it's technically the same thing. Have you shot it before? I have heard that the empty brass ejects backwards and I have seen that the ejector port is on the right of the rifle. I'm a south paw, and I hope I don't get a steaming brass in the face when I'm shooting the rifle. (I've had this happen before from a Walther P38 that had improperly loaded cartidges that were improperly made.)

The realones are pretty kool, but I think that Assault Rifles were banned? Yea, they eject pretty fast, I had a friend step on one being ejected outta a Ruger Mini-14 .223caliber Stainless one. It stuck to his foot and burned him pretty good to. Thats what you get when shooting in BareFeet. They've got a pretty wild kick to them. But I was just looking for if anyone owned one of these in here. They were only made for acouple of years from what I saw at CRS. There probably banned anyways, because they look like an assault weapon. Stupid laws
