The LARC BB Submachine Gun Advertisements Circa 1984
Now I don't thing there was an adolescent during the late 1970's and 1980's who didn't dream of having a full auto BB gun. The LARC 19 series of guns were freon powered BB machinegun created by Eugene Russett Cliford of Corral Gables Florida in 1978. The guns were powered by freon canisters that recharged air conditioner units for cars. They achieved a reputation for a short service life as most of the parts were plastic. The smaller version called the M19-AMP was indroduced in the early 1980's. The cyclic rate was well over 1000 rounds per minute.
Yep I actually remember seeing that exact same ad in guns and ammo magazine back in either 1984 or 85. I fired one larceny once at the LA County Fair around that time. It had a high rate of spitting out those bbs.
