and this would be different for an CO2-powered automatic sub-machinegun ..how?

i didn't say it was different- i said that's the reason

:) i'm loving this... you guys are a crack up.

nothing wrong with shooting game with something like the GSMG- any and all activities should be in the pursuit of happiness... so it you want to hunt thumper with a GSMG- feel free. it will no doubt 'do the trick' and put a smile on your face in the ...
