This is a standard Ruger model 10/22 semi-automatic rifle. The 'crank' on the side of the gun depresses and releases the trigger four times for each rotation. That's 12.5 rotations for the magazine. This is legal in most localities. It's difficult to control and all it really does is burn through ammo quickly. What results is not full-auto, it's more Gatling-gun style rapid fire. For the record, that's a RamLine 50-rd magazine and a "GAT" trigger attachment. It's made in Germany. I've modified the "GAT" by using a longer screw to attach a simple window crank bought at the local hardware store. To keep from marring the bottom of the trigger guard when installing the GAT, I use needle-nosed pliers to crush a spent 22 casing essentially creating a copper shim.
