History:
Patented in 1937, manufactured by BULLS-EYE MFGCORP in La Jolla, and invented by John Beckwith (a principle in the BULLSEYE MFG. CORP who made this pistol).The Sharpshooter is apretty awesome little gun! This Sharpshooter pistol, made in La Jolla, California in 1937 and later the company was bought out by Berry BrowEnterprises and moved to Line Lexington, Pennsylvania in 1960. This is the finalmodel which is plain blue and has no grips at all, just raised stampings of themetal gun frame. It’s not just a simple gun – it’s also asophisticated flyswatter! The guns shotNo. 6 chilled lead birdshot, and ads for the gun claimed you can hit a fly at16 feet with this gun. In Fletcher’s report, he actually landed four out offive shots into a fly-sized target at 10 feet. When he used multiple rubberbands on his gun, he got velocities up to 158 f.p.s. With a single band, youget just over 100 f.p.s. Stoeger’s 1950 Shooter’s Bible said the shotmeasured 0.118″, which makes The Sharpshooter a .12-caliber gun.Aslingshot with a trigger & a barrel – Thegun throws the tiny ball like a slingshot launches its projectile. A plasticlauncher mechanism rides a rail to keep it straight, and the ball is forced byacceleration into a small seat in the back of the mechanism. Apparently that’swhat gives the gun its accuracy. While I’ve never hit a fly with my gun, theshots go predictably to the same place time after time. I suspect there is moreaccuracy in the gun than most people might believe.Take advantage of this unique opportunity topick up this Vintage 1937 Rubber Band Gun.
