Really got legislated out of existance when the country where they were made banned them. Any air cartridge users here? I kind of wish I'd acted sooner when they were available, but I missed that boat. Did I miss something really good, or was it just another idea that looked better than it was?

They were banned from general use because they could be easily converted to a firearm.

It wasn't very powerfull but it was pretty cool. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2010 8:48 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho check out AOA's website. they jumped into the pcp world. they make some really cool mid-powered- super accurate carbines. 15 fpe range. kinda pricey, but sexy and I want one. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 5:10 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND sniper wrote: is the .38 bac (parent case) a centerfire round??

With very little work Brocock pistols can be converted to .38 centerfire, it just requires a barrel liner change. That’s why they were banned over here unless you had a full FAC licence. I have only ever seen one and it was a Colt 45 replica all steel made just as the original, the cartridges are loaded up with a .22 pellet and primed by a mini pump unit, a bit fiddly but works well, you really need a box of ready primed cartridges but they are expensive. You can modify most single or double action guns to take the Brocock cartridge, provided they are capable of holding a .38 shell case.
