Last I heard they get 60 shots a mag, but I can't remember if they take 1 or 2 CO<sub>2</sub> bulbs.

Your best bet is to invest in a HPA or bulk CO<sub>2</sub> setup.

i don't want to burst your bubble, but the drozd that i owned got approx 25 - 30 shots per bulb, and that was after a reseal as well. Consumption is fairly pisspoor unless you hpa it. To try combat the bad consumption i did all the mods, including shimming the barrel at the receiver end, but it made little difference. Accuracy was terrible as well, i mean REALLY bad

Well in that case, its not worth parting with any money for it, a gun with no accuracy may as well be used as a hammer.

Never owned one, but I did "play" around with a Drozd Black Bird that was heavily modded and on hpa...was hitting quarter sized targets consistently at 15m with 3 round bursts.

Not bad accuracy for a bb gun...which tend to not be very accurate to start with.

Was a real hoot @ 1200rpm. 8)
