Drozd BB rifle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Baikal MP661K known as Drozd is known as a widely popular BB rifle, imported by European American Armory (EAA) and known as the 'Bumble Bee'. It is best known for being one of the few select fire BB rifles that can fire single, three-round, and six-round bursts. Its recognized due to the yellow lower receiver(U.S., black for EU and Russia) and black upper receiver and stock. This is a very popular gun with both casual plinkers and airgun enthusiasts, as it is excellent out of the box but offers many upgrade options. Common upgrades are "mod boards" that increase the rate of fire (up to 1200 rounds per minute), adapters to use outside propellant sources (such as 20oz paintball CO2 tanks or HPA scuba tanks), dye kits to change the color (commonly RIT fabric dye is used), longer barrels (higher velocity). New upgrades are being introduced constantly as the gun gains popularity (this might be the 10/22 of the airgun world). Rumors are circulating that the Baikal factory is considering releasing a version of the gun that is equipped with a bulk feed and a 400rd magazine, which would remedy the achilles heel of this gun... the tiny 30rd magazine capacity (which is emptied in as fast as a half second on a modified gun).
