Mac Glashan BB Trainer Machinegun Model E-3 M2 .50 copy It's like the one on the left but with out the cross hair sights. It will be up for sale once he has a chance to clean it up and see if it still fires. He rembers it being mounted on the back deck and his Grandpa chasing the ducks away on the lake with streams of BBs.

I gather there may only be a few dozen of these things known to be around- so your friend may be able to get a princely sum for it as well! Any way to get him to take pictures of it as he takes it apart- at least for the historical reference? Heck, if he's willing- maybe we could create a webpage on airgunhome.com for future reference. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I haven't been this excited since the night my brother took me sucker fishing, at night, in the rain, - and I walked into an electric fence. It looks fairly straightforward. There's a brass pressure reservoir. A solenoid driving two levers, probably one to meter BB's and the other to hammer a valve. And a little box that I suspect is like a turn signal blinker to run the solenoid. This is cool. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2008 7:45 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Most intriguing.

I'd like to mount that to my window sill and lay waste to any birds unfortunate enough to land in its cross hairs. I picture myself firing non-stop yelling "Get some, get some!" like the guy in the helicopter from the movie full metal jacket. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

The jerkoff behind you is tailgating and you push a button and this thing pops up out of the trunk and peppers their windshied. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

They had him shoot one (the powder burner), but it was completely fixed (no aiming). _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!
