Hydro/pneumatic gun

Well my father finally brought my 2 Ukraine guns to me . I bought them in 1994 brand new for approx £5 each and I think they are very cool . The lower gun is a bit of a rareity I think.

when the spear is inserted, the water in the barrel is squeezed into the rubber sleeve through about 20 small holes.

when fired the spear is squeezed or spat out for want of a better term by the compressed air squeezing the sleeve. It works very well. What I find very cool is it is effortless to load and I mean effortless. It would be like loading a gun with half a bar pressure in it. It has a fair bit of power and next to no recoil as well as being near silent. It also can`t fire out of water unless the tube is filled with liquid(long story there)

So a bit of an anomaly I think when compared to say the Mamba system. It has the seals to keep the water out and this has the same seals to keep the water in.

I was servicing them to replace the awful quality seals which were in good condition but so poorly made. The rest is as good a build as any

I like it!
