Most fun you can have in your basement range!

Bought a DPMS SBR full auto BB gun. What a hoot to shoot. Most fun we've had in basement BB gun shooting range ever. Thing runs really well. Shop on line a bit before you buy. I paid a touch more than I needed to. Instructions are smaller than small but you can find the manual on line making it much easier to read. It comes with a speed loader, but the instructions don't cover that. Learned how to use it via youtube videos. Oh and the instructions say that the follower locks into place when compressed. Not true on my gun and not true on the guns in the videos.

Life is good.

There’s a great idea, maybe that’s my next Covid project, a 50 yard underground shooting range!

I have a Umarex Co2 Luger. Great fun shooting empty soda cans in the backyard.
