What gun is this?



Dammit, Bill...you beat me to it....I type slow.... ;D

Daisy V/L rifle. These were made a very short time in 1968 and and by 1969 were gone. They shoot the 22 caliber caseless air ignited V/L ammunition. Daisy was the first company to introduce a production caseless ammunition and rifle, the V/L Rifle, in 1968. The V/L ammunition consisted of a .22 caliber bullet with a small disk of propellant on the back, and no primer. The rifle resembled a typical spring-air rifle, but the hot, high pressure air served not only as a power source but also to ignite the propellant on the back of the V/L cartridge. The V/L guns and ammunition were discontinued in 1969 after the BATF ruled that they constituted a firearm, and Daisy, which was not licensed to manufacture firearms, decided to discontinue manufacture rather than become a firearms manufacturer. About 23,000 of the rifles were made before production ceased.

If you have a magnum spring-air pellet rifle the compressed air has more than enough heat to ignite gun oil. It's called dieselling and will make a pellet gun into a real gun until it blows the seals out. That's what I read anway. If I ever get a good pellet rifle I'm going to try NOT to wreck it. I've had my eye of a couple RWS air rfles for years decades but don't want to part with my hard earned cash. Now I wish I had bought one when $US were still worth something.

Could you post a close up of a round, this is really cool, I'd never heard of this.

Does the bullet have a hollow base filled with propellant or  is it like a pill stuck on the bottom ?

It's a compressed primer/powder charge bonded in some way to the base of the bullet.
