Hi Rich, me either was hoping to find someone that had a kit they was willing to sell or a shop that still sells them as i think they was discontinued a few years ago...

Have posted a small introduction  .

Neat. I think air shotguns are banned in the UK which may be why it's not around anymore.

But that may just be the gas charged shotgun shell variety and not this one.

Thanks for the replys and the welcome  , your probably right there Northstar, If the kit has been restricted then ill give it a pass

Anyone know of anyone who has installed this kit?  Looks pretty kool.

Can't even make it, cause I don't know what to make  I suppose it would work on the same theory as the Crosman 1100 shotgun, but that uses shells and I didn't see anything about that in that link?

Im thinking somehow the bbs was just loaded into the barrel somehow as the kit didn't mention shells as ark said  ... It cant be impossible to mod a maby a ratcatcher to fire these i think < http://www.pyramydair.com/s/p/Gamo_Express_EXP20_Shotshells_Fits_Viper_Shadow_Express_Shotguns/485 > but would need a new way at inserting the shells and probably not enough power from the gun to fire the shot properly... Also not sure if that would be legal? lol

Thanks

Could be like these, also seen in the M79 BB shells.

There a small cavity behind all the chambers to allow the gas to expand then push out of each hole.

Or another version with a transfer port for each mini BB loaded barrel & the valve...

EDIT: actually this first one fires large rubber reballs. The big black thing on the right.
