We want to clear up any confusion about what type of airgun the GMG truly is. The GMG is not a “BB gun”, nor is it a “toy”. Although we tried with the table below, you cannot compare the GMG to a Drozd, Blackbird, Steel Storm, or EBOS. The GMG is simply in a different class of airgun. If you want a cheap full-auto BB gun for pissing off crows and plinking paper targets and Coke cans, then look elsewhere.
But if you want to tap steel gong targets, mutilate 3/4″ plywood silhouettes, take down a rabid stray dog at 100 yards, then beat a coconut open for a Pina Colada celebration… the GMG is for you.
The GMG was designed as a pneumatic gun… not quite a BB gun, but not quite a firearm… somewhere in the middle.
