AO
AOAir Ordnance, sometimes spelled Air Ordinance, is a U.S. specialty airgun maker best known for the SMG-22 belt-fed, full-auto pellet platform.
In our words
Air Ordnance is one of the most distinctive products in airgunning — a belt-fed full-auto pellet SMG with no real peer. That novelty is exactly the appeal, and also exactly why parts and service require homework. Current company activity has been intermittent, so listings should include proof of function, belt and drum condition, valve and seal status, accessories, and the seller's notes on parts sourcing.

Real-world commentary
Air Ordnance built a one-of-a-kind product, and used SMG-22s remain genuinely collectible. Company activity has been uneven over time, so buyer confidence is built through documentation rather than brand assumption.
