Pfff..I've "converted" long airguns into near pistol sized objects for ages.

HACK! :D

I think it's just silly to convert a pistol into a halfblood carbine.
If you can afford it, just buy both, or choose.

anyway...a sawed-off pump action shotgun is all anyone would ever need.... :D

(And a conversion kit to turn it into a sniper rifle ofcourse... :? )

It would make sense to lengthen the barrel, therefore getting a higher muzzle velocity and more plausible long range accuracy, but simply adding a stock doesn't seem to be such a good idea. Unless of course it's a machine pistol and you're after a compact submachinegun :)

For a 45 ACP carbine, I'd much rather have one of these :D

You do know that this affects your accuracy don't you?
Not because the barrel is shorter (that's a myth) or due to ergonomic reasons, but because of the choke at the end of the barrel that will be cut off.

I don't think he's referring to commercial airguns ;)
