How about this bad boy for the rabbits?

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Troddenmasses was thinking of building one of these a few years ago.

Not the best looking piece of kit is it! Novelty factor I guess, but if you want to emulate a full-auto 10/22 just bump fire a regular one!

See what your FEO and RCO think of it.

I suppose you could argue that as long as you have slots for the two 10/22's you are not doing anything untoward however I would hate to test it out with my FEO.

And would you allow one on your duty?...because if one turned up at my club I would tell them to take it away.

Because of legal worries or because of safety or what?

Possibly on a 25m or 1908 design gallery range I would allow it but only if it allowed within Range orders, had a mechanical stop limiting elevation and was robustly built and anchored to the ground to prevent it tipping over. I would also need to take into account the impact on other shooters and the club as a whole.

Normally shooters need to be stationed 1m apart so although this is one shooter it is two rifles so a potential grey area.

Safety.

We have no danger area, and put the wrong ammo thru that and it might be a nightmare to clear a jam.

I'm not sure any of my clubs would allow it.
