10 LIFE SAVING WARNINGS

Gun is loaded or unloaded...

3. No hands over the muzzle / no way / no time / no how.

4. Only use .177/ 4.5mm BBs manufactured to industry standards. If the

BBs do not feed into the magazine, don’t force them - there is a reason ­determine the reason before continuing.

5. Never alter your Air Gun or allow anyone not connected with or authorized

to represent the manufacturer to modify, change, or adjust any of the
working parts of your Air Gun.

HEALTH WARNING:

This Air Gun fires BBs. Lead and lead compounds are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive toxicity. Discharging,
handling or cleaning an Air Gun may result in lead exposure. Have adequate
ventilation at all times. Do not put BBs in your mouth. Wash hands thoroughly
after exposure.

EXTERNAL CONTROL PARTS:

1. The Trigger is used for discharging the

compressed CO2 so as to expel the BB. The
trigger in this Air Gun is really a contact switch
for an electrical assembly. See Fig 1

2. The Barrel of your Air Gun is made of steel and

has groove rifling. Never put the barrel in a
position where it could be bent or damaged. A
bent barrel will lead to accuracy problems or
could even lead to a BB being stuck in the barrel.
After shooting, always clean the barrel. See Fig 2

3. The Sights on your Air Gun are designed for

accuracy. The rear sight has a screw in the top
that controls elevation, you may remove the sight
and install a scope ring that is made to clamp a
picatinny rail. See Fig 3, 4

4. The Magazine is located inside the grip and is

removed by depressing the magazine release….
Make sure you unplug the power supply for the
magazine before you remove the magazine. The
magazine capacity is 200 rds and you have the
option of using 3 small CO2 cylinders or one large
cylinder with adapter. See Fig 5 and 5a

5. The CO2 Cylinders are located in the rear of the

magazine and are used to pressurize the Air Gun.
Either 3 cylinders or 1cylinder with adapter. See
Fig 6 and 6a

6. The On / Off Switch is located on the left hand

side of the frame and moves up and down. In
the down position the firing system has been
energized and the LED is illuminated. Do not
leave the on / off switch in the on position unless
you are ready to fir the Air Gun or are firing the
Air Gun. When the switch is off the power is
removed from the firing system and the LED is
no longer illuminated. Since the Drozd 2 has an
electrical firing system the on / off switch acts as
a safety. Switch on or firing system energized
the Air Gun is in the fire mode. Switch off or firing
system not energized Air Gun is in the safe

mode....It is good Air Gun safety procedure to

never relay on any mechanical or electrical safety,

so we recommend to remove the magazine when
you are not using or ready to fire the Air Gun.
See Fig 7, 8

7. The BB storage located on the top forward

portion of the magazine and is opened by
depressing release button for lid. See Fig 9, 9A

8. The Magazine Release located on the bottom

back of the grip and pushed in will release the
magazine. Warning: the Drozd 2 magazine is
heavy so have your hand on it while pushing the
magazine release. We recommend that you grip
the lower portion of the magazine and depress
the magazine release with your thumb. See Fig

10... Do not drop magazine or it will be damaged

9. The Selector for Fire Switch is located forward

of the On / Off switch on the left hand side of the
Drozd 2. The is switch moves fore and aft and
has three positions. Aligning the switch to
position marked one is for single round fire,
aligning the switch to the position marked three
is for three round burst and aligning the switch
to the position marked six is for six round burst.
Depending on what position you set your selector
for fire to, will determine how many BBs will be
release when the trigger is pulled and held for a
full cycle and the on / off is in the on position.
Thus, if you pull the trigger and the selector for
fire is set at six the Drozd 2 Air Gun will fire six
BBs. If you do not hold the trigger down for the
all six BBs to be fired the firing will stop when the
trigger is release. Once the trigger is released
the selection of fire will reset back to what ever
number the selector for fire switch is set to. Thus,
If the selector for fire switch is set at six and you
held the trigger long enough for four BBs to be
fired and then you released the trigger and then
pulled the trigger again, up to six BBs would be
fired depending on how long you held the trigger
to the rearward position. See Fig 11, 12

The Cycle Speed Switch is located on the right
hand side of the Drozd 2 and determines how
fast the Air Gun will cycle. If the switch is set at
300 the Air Gun will cycle at 300 BBs per minute,
