Wow, new old weirdness. http://tinyurl.com/mk537

It's a Browning and it orginally retailed for $1000.  It used and electic motor to wind the spring.  Supposedly you got something like 250 shots out of each battery.  Looks like a solutioin search of a problem. So, it's sort of like a pcp but still with the recoil of a springer.  Go figure. It's stranger still as it's made by, of all people, Browning, or at least marketed by them. I guess it was made in Belgum. See the manual here. http://tinyurl.com/nmnky :o

I've been working on one that is voice operated.  So far it's not been too successful.  It talks back to you and you have to feed it, clothe it, house it, etc. so it's probably gonna be more trouble than it's worth.

Yea,

Hey Gene, how about putting up the Browning Gate.  These are going to be popular. Mine has an MP3 player and a cell phone built into it.  I duct taped a bottle opener to the stock too.

Id say dont make too many gates, its tough to search a whole bunch of gates to see all the posts.  Sometimes I read things Im not particularly looking for.
