This is an intersection of several projects. It needs to be semi-auto with as many rounds as possible available.

Sounds like it will be easy to go through a lot of CO2 cartridges quick. I must be old because I prefer having to cock a BB/pellet gun between shots.

Let us know what you end up with and any insights that come from the project.

***That’s actually a good point. One of the reasons why I’m impressed with the paintball marker guns — there are some that can be hooked up to a compressed air cannister. Now, THAT would make the project interesting. Of course, it would also mean the kid doesn’t get a bb gun as one of the goals of this project. But if the functionality is there, it might be worth it to me just to see it work, time & again.

***One of the insights is that pyramidair.com is a very cool website for this project.

I’m settling on the Morph3X
http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Umarex_MORPH_3X_CO2_Pistol_Rifle/2747

for the following reasons:
price
30 round magazine
configurable to pistol — since we’ll be modifying a lot of stuff, this is a presumed plus
