It's almost certain to be for real, according to sods' law. I've spent ages getting and making parts for my PPSH and, now it's finished, someone is BOUND to bring out an all metal one!

If my source is correct, it fires steel BB's - the 4.5mm ones, and yes, it is full auto.

Now for the bad news. Over 1.35J and full-auto = Section 5 firearm, so it's another item that wont make an appearance in the UK.

possible to use an M14 as a donor for a scratch build?

"Major Bernard Himmler, does the name mean anything to you?"

That's what I did! It's a lot of work though and you need (or need access to) some pretty serious kit to make a convincing barrel shroud. The only bits of the M14 that are really usable are the gearbox and motor, barrel and hopup.
