Never heard of this, but they make some interesting stuff, what however seems to be mysterious is how did Lewis and Clark have an air rifle using bone in its parts and yet had better re-peat shots?

These modern day air rifles require a scuba tank for refills.

What would just be nice is to use a smaller caliber, make it fully auto even if it means building it gatling gun style and is able to fire no less than 500 rounds per second using a rotary magazine, and solely powered by portable air. Basically the ultimate area denial coverage without using loaded ammunition.
