BBs instead of lead airgun pellets, and is a true semi-auto, incorporating a reciprocating slide, just like its gunpowder-driven cousins, Unlike the cartridge-firing PPK/S, however, this outstanding BB shooter does not have a double-action-on-first-shot capability, having instead a single-action-only mechanism.
Even a slow 386 computer can support a
BBS, as long as it has a serial port.
