Actually, that looks like an electronic "zapper" stapler. Very nice, a friend of mine built one but increased the voltage on it. Nice drozd, yours is all black, did you paint it (mines black/yellow) and where did you get the longer barrel?
Have you done any accuracy tests or whatnot? How does it increase performance?-I don't think it's a silencer but I could be wrong

Nice! Your parents must be generous. Btw if u feel like opening the magazine valve system sometime, could you make some pictures of the internals as I cant find ehm on the internet. I would like to c what the fit is like(between the orings and the bolt). Thnx

Sure ill take some pictures if you want, you could use some as both you magazine pictures and diagrams where not at all what the magazine looks like, though the valve/firing configuration was correct. Now about the colors, the american version is painted yellow because people where worried that in black it looked to much like a submachine gun. However, this gun is made by IZH Baikal a russian company, and the russian version is all black. An airgun website, http://www.airgundepot.com/eaa-drozd.html made a deal with the russian factory to make all black guns with american text on them. I got one of the very first they imported and it had the front barrel painted red. This however was not on purpose but a result of a screw up at the factory and the black guns they import now have a black barrel. Seeming as the stock drozd barrel is only 7ish inches and has very questionable breech hardening (wears out quickly with the gun's auto capabilities, though oddly enough it IS rifled) i replaced it with a very high quality CNC machined barrel by a custom airgun modder called JimC. You can find any information or mods you want here http://www.mp661k.com/index.php on thier forum. You can also see the mods above what i have, such as upgrading from 600rpm 6 round burst to 1200 rpm full auto, from c02 powerlets to paintball tanks, and JimC has a prototype 300 round drum magazine.

Now, the stapler is the stapler from "Office Space" so it has significane

Yeah I was thinkin about it why u got a nazi symbol for christmas? I dont really get the combo; airgun, a che chauvara tshirt, and this german cross. I use to live in germany (I am not german) and I dont really get it. But anyways, make sure u use this airgun wise as its powerfull and has a highrate of fire! Plz dont be offended by this comment. Now lets get back to homemade airguns :)

It's not wierd, its a piece of history. Thats not just some random plastic thing it an authentic ww2 medal. And before any of you call me a nazi il pull out my trumpcard of non-nazism... Im jewish (by race not religion) and my ancestors fled germany during the holocaust. Oh and i LOVE legos. Also, there appears to be a misunderstanding, i dident get the gun for christmass (as if my parents where that smart... ha) i got the barrel for christmass. Actually i ordered the barrel myself and they said they would pay for it to make it a present. Also the Iron Cross sits right next to my gradfathers 10th armored patch, he was a medic in the 10th armored and saved the 101st airbone's ass at bastogne, though the TV shows only ever mention the 101st.

It's not weird, I love WW2 history too, i've always wanted a Iron Cross.

Oh and the 101st didn't need to be saved :D

No member of the 101st has ever said they needed to be rescued by Patton.

Mr. Crowley, to the best of my knowledge (if i remember my grandfather telling the story right) he wasn't in the group that liberated bastogne, he was in the group of 10th armored that was trapped there WITH the 101'st. He also says he has personal quotes from the 101st saving they would have been f*cked without the 10th armored there with them. Its a funny story actually, how he came to be a medic. He was an astoundingly good shot and was going to be made a sniper, but then heard that snipers had the highest casuality rate of the entire military and decided to be a medic. I also have from him a german medics kit (empty) that he took from a dead german. It has blood stains in it... D: And also from him i have a Sig-Saur (though the company had a different name at the time i believe) 38h semiautomatic pistol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauer_38H
Its a really cool gun because the lever on the side both cocks and de-cocks the hammer, making it revolutionary for its time. I was also lucky enough for mine to be an earlier production model in prestine condition, never fired after the war with all the original blueing. Later in the war they where built to lower standards and dident have the decocker lever.

Oh you're right, Band Of Brothers didn't mention the 10th armoured, I think. Wow that's a cool gun, lucky you.
