I remember as a kid (in Africa) using a fully automatic .22 .. It had a drum
Mag mounted under it .. Kinda like a ppsh .. Ring any bells with anyone ?

The 180 could be another possibility. When it came out, I think it was the fastest .22 auto available, although that could just be a memory glitch on my part! :-

Those 180s are amazing to shoot.
If we could have them I'd give them away free if people would promise to buy their ammunition from me. :lol:

1200 rounds per minute!
That must be a bit lively!

Isn't it semi auto only and has it been around since ZZR was a kid in Africa?
The 22lr version of Thompson, the Model 1927A3, could fit the description but was apparently only made in semi auto.
However, it seems you could get full auto sears for a Squires Bingham 22lr that was similar to the PPS50, but I can't find any pictures at the moment.

The 180 was developed to penetrate body armour hence the high cyclic rate.
The only full auto 22 I would have is one of these:

The Pietta is the current incarnation of .22 PPSh - as Squires Bingham is not around anymore
(as far as I can tell)
The S~B WERE made a full auto versions, plus an RFD in the North East was jailed for converting them to S.5 a couple of decades back
Nice guns. Used one a while back...just not seen one when I have the funds spare/free slot on FAC

BESIDES - drum mags are for fags - belts are the only way to play
