I found a company selling these new online with the full auto mod and the barrel shroud. Their return policy is a bit strict but they at least state they will repair. One that always caught my eye - no longer sold in the US is the Drozd Blackbird.Įvery once in a while, they'll pop up on eBay - One of these days, one will be mine. Glad to hear that you've been enjoying it! They really do look like they'd be a blast to shoot! Thanks for the heads up! If/when the time comes, I'll have to pester you. I couldn't imagine having to clean up after emptying the hopper on a fully auto. It's bad enough trying to find and clean up all of the pellets in the room where my targets are. Right now I'm limited to shooting indoors, so no fully-auto toys for me just yet. I have a Drozd Blackbird I will post on classifieds someday, if you are interested message me. There's a member here that had one up for grabs, and posted in the classifieds: =) One that always caught my eye – no longer sold in the US is the Drozd Blackbird.Įvery once in a while, they'll pop up on eBay – One of these days, one will be mine. When combined with a remote tank like those commonly used in paintball (either CO 2 or HPA), the Blackbird can deliver nearly a thousand rounds of operation use.Fully autto bb guns look like So Much Fun! Full auto (600/900/1200rpm) modification chips especially designed for the Blackbird are now readily available, and despite the stated 400-round capacity, in actuality, the magazine easily hold many more BBs than that. Some have criticized the new Backbird for having an overall cheaper "plastic" appearance, but the large magazine capacity makes it completely different kind of gun than the original Drozd. It shares many parts with the original Drozd and retains the same basic body configuration, as well as the original Drozd's stock firing modes. The Blackbird boasts a 400-round-plus capacity, as well as an improved three-cartridge 12-gram CO 2 system, or a single 88-gram large CO 2 cartridge. The Baikal factory have now also released "The Blackbird" a version of the Drozd equipped with a bulk feed and a 400-round magazine, which remedies the achilles heel of the original Bumblebee: the tiny 30-round magazine capacity (which can be emptied in one and a half seconds on a 1,200 rpm modified gun). The rifling does not significantly increase the gun's accuracy spherical projectiles comprising non-malleable materials demonstrate little, if any, accuracy differences between rifled and smoothbore barrels. Although such components do not translate into increased accuracy, they do tend to increase durability. The barrel is rifled steel and extremely thick and rugged for an airgun.
The price of the Drozd is much higher than typical "department store" airguns, partly due to the use of the higher quality components and increased durability. The gun is manufactured by a company that also manufactures and designs military firearms (best known for their WWII production of the Tokarev TT-33 and M1895 Nagant revolver), and many of the parts are thus "over engineered" with military-style durability. The quality of the gun is high, with the main functional components being made from firearms quality steel and the plastic parts ( trigger, main receiver housings, buttstock, lower magazine cover) being made from firearms quality fiber reinforced polymers. Such modifications include aftermarket/third-party and user-community alterations and upgrades such as "mod boards" that can increase the rate of fire up to 2000 rounds per minute and provide true fully automatic operation, adapters to use external propellant sources (such as 20 oz paintball CO 2 tanks or HPA scuba tanks), dye kits to change the color (commonly RIT fabric dye is used), and longer barrels (higher velocity).
