One of my players wants his character to be armed with a semi-auto compressed air gun. He specifically mentioned the Steyr-Girandoni as a design template, but he's only after something not specifically long ranged and accurate. He also mooted the idea of using scavenged fire extinguisher bottles as the compressed air reservoir.

So... statting the beastie;

• Bulk akin to a BAR, -6 ? (I'm thinking the unholy lovechild of an Owen, and Parker's improvised incinerator units from Alien)
• Short barrelled, so not accurate?
• If it has a gravity feed top mounted magazine, how many rounds capacity?
• How many combat rounds to reload said magazine?

Also, the player's requested that it be pump action.

Any thoughts or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Here are a few links that show some of the working, so to speak. Please excuse the link dump.
