Daisy bought the tooling for the
Hyde BB Pistol (originally
manufactured by Floyd Hyde Engineering) and reintroduced the
Hyde as the Daisy CO2
100. The Hyde air pistol itself was actually a conversion of the
.22 cal Wamo Powermaster pistol introduced in 1956. The CO2
100 was the first semi-auto replica repeater made by
Daisy and also its first CO2-powered
airgun. The Model 100 was only produced in 1962.
The trigger on this gun feels like a true single action semi-auto
although it operates the elevator in addition to releasing the
sear. Daisy reworked
the gun and reintroduced it as the Daisy CO2
200 in 1963. The Daisy 100 holds 200 BBs in a hopper from which 5 BBs at a
time are fed into a spring-loaded internal magazine. The Model
100 is pretty fragile and not many of them still work (leakers).
This specimen holds air and shoots very well.
Pyramyd Air Report on the Daisy 100. Performance: Measurements were made on 9/29/06 at a temperature of 77 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired from a bench rest at 15' using Crosman Copperhead BBs (5.1 gr). The highest velocity measured was 454 fps, the lowest was 422 fps (average of the 10-shot string was 435 fps). A six shot string fired with open sights grouped at 0.76".

Loading BBs: Up to 200 BBs can be poured into the port at the
rear of the gun. To load BBs into the spring-loaded magazine
(max = 5), point the gun down and shake it. Then, raise the gun
up to 45º with the left side facing down. Push the follower
forward and BBs should drop into the magazine. As the hopper
gets low on BBs, it is harder to get BBs to drop into the
magazine. BBs can be unloaded by shaking them out of the port in
the back. The rear sight is adjustable by sliding the sight blade up/down and left/right. The range of adjustment is small. |

Loading CO2: There is no piercing pin O-ring seal on this model. To load a CO2 cartridge, hold it in place -- centered under the pin -- while tightening the piercing screw. When the cartridge is pierced, turn the screw one more revolution to seal the cartridge. The Model 100 and 200 have a tendency to go fully automatic when the gas pressure gets low or if the gun is fired rapidly causing the valve to frost over. |
