Description:
Daisy Heddon V/L caseless 22 cal rifle
Developed by a Belgian chemist named Jules Van Langenhover. The new gun would be known as the Daisy V/L rifle.
The Daisy V/L ammunition consisted of a .22 caliber bullet with a small cylinder of propellant on the back, and no primer.
The rifle resembled a typical spring-air rifle, but the 2,000 °F (1,090 °C) high-pressure air served not only to propel the projectile,
but also to ignite the propellant on the back of the Daisy V/L cartridge, propelling a 29 gr. .22 cal bullet to 1,150 fps.
The Daisy V/L rifles and ammunition were discontinued in 1969,
After the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ruled that they constituted a firearm, and Daisy,
which was not licensed to manufacture firearms, decided to discontinue manufacture rather than become a firearms manufacturer.
About 23,000 of the rifles were made before production ceased.
The Daisy V/L rifle and ammunition has been added to the ATF Curio & Relic list.
Ammo can still be found on several sites. The last picture is a current ad on .
This particular rifle appears to be in almost new condition,
