Awesome "Big Bore" CO2 pistol!!!

Riot-Ball are, as far as I know, are injection molded Nylon/PVC Roundball.

This is an excellent projectile for .43 Caliber CO2 guns.

@One gram per Riot-Ball, I have chronograph results up to 425 fps.

Baikal MP-651k Co2 Pistol/Carbine Kit

 

Baikal's MP-651k is a uniquely designed airgun that shoots 4.5 mm lead roundball or .177 cal pellets...steel BB's can be used but the bore is larger than those made specifically for steel BB's and it's rifled, so lead pellets and  Gamo "roundball" in 4.5 mm are the best choices for accurate shooting with this airgun.

G.K.Arms: Crosman M-2240 CO2 Pellet Pistol

I own a pair of .22 cal. Crosman M-2240 CO2 Pellet Pistols which I have modified in different ways.

The first photo shows on with the older 1980's era grip panels and a rail for a pistol sized optic with a ghost ring rear peep sight.

The second photo shows my other M-2240 with a 3D printed barrel mounted dual  rail, a pistol optic on top,  and an O-Light mounted below.

This is the factory spec M-2240 with P-1322 grip panels.

Under-Hammer Percussion Muzzleloading Pistol

 

I bought an interesting book from Amazon a couple of years ago that is about Under-Hammer Percussion Muzzleloading Pistols and it includes parts diagrams as well as the  history of the designs.

Having the hammer on the underside of the barrel allows for an unobstructed sightline, which made this type of action perfect for precision target shooting.

This illustration shows the most elegantly simple type of underhammer action.

I am considering building a non-shooting, cap gun version of this design once the projects currently filling my workbench are completed.
