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.

Well said.
