Just wanted to follow up, this Air Ordinance SMG .22 is great, my ballistic gel test showed approximately 5 inches of penetration at 50 feet, which for full auto being able to shove LOTS of pellets that deep in a hurry, well depending on your application. I gave this full-auto belt fed machine gun (air rifle) to my mother for Christmas and she loves it, and the funny part is how she has always been so quick to cringe at the sight of a firearm, but she has no such reaction to this and is more than happy to use it "because it doesn't have gunpowder going off, there's no fire and explosions, nothing loud" so she's okay with it. Wonderful.

Somebody requested that I post a file of the Caselman air SMG I had been modelling up, so I've attached it to this message. I couldn't get the select-fire trigger mechanism to completely design out the way I wanted it, so I edited a few things and just made it a full-auto trigger so that it would be much easier if I was going to build it this way, since I'd want to pretty much only use it full auto anyways.

Cheers for keeping us informed :) sounds like a lot of fun!
I believe that should have an acceptable cuddle ratio. I gave this full-auto belt fed machine gun (air rifle) to my mother for Christmas and she loves it, she's hugged a few squirrels with it already
Alas discussing the shooting of animate targets is against forum rules, I would edit if I were you.
