Got this during the last month registrations were allowed in Canada. I had a tour
of the factory in Salt Lake City. That was were the US models came from. But,
for some reason, Canadian sales had to come from Austria.
The tour was interesting, the prison system was getting some with laser sights.
They also were working on laser sights for mini 14 rugers.

I seem to remember that there was a special 22 rim fire cartridge developed for the Model 180, it was the 22 WMR made shorter to the same length as the 22 long rifle so it would work in the same action
that was designed for the 22 long rifle. I had some of these cartridges years ago
Yes, these were a special cartridge. There were a shipment sent to the '76 Olympics in Montreal for police use at roadblocks...even though they were sent by bonded courier, the shipment arrived light. Seems every handler skimmed one for himself. I guess that means there are a few available somewhere out there in Canada...if one could but find them...
The majority were made in .22LR. When I was a kid I worked in a gun shop in Holly Hill, Florida that was a dealer for American Arms. We did some wild demos with those little fast running guns. The magazine held 144 rounds if memory serves. It was one of my jobs to load the drums. I remember shooting bowling pins with them and the wood would just absorb the .22 projectiles. Those bowling pins would get very heavy after a few sessions on the range.
A better comparison is one I did, when we could do it. Was colt 1921 with 100 round drum against am180 with
177 22. on 45 gallon drums of water. Destruction was close to the same, Colt a lot more.
Years ago I read a story on the CIA fooling with one of these creations eating through concrete pillars with ease so they dressed 3 sheep up in human clothing for a test.
Lined them up and gave them a quick 1 second burst in their words, Sheep No.1 Disintegrated, No.2 sheep Fatal, No.3 sheep Mortally wounded.
My guess is No.3 copped the last of the spray as No.2 dropped from the line of fire they must have an interesting time in the CIA.
