Gun Discussion

What about the old afghan Jezail musket?  

@BadgingBadger  
Fancy looking.

@ice1517  
Here’s a very similar shotgun - the Kel-Teck KSG 12:  
 
This is a single barrel, but it has two tube magazines that you can manually switch between for a total of 14 shells.

Hand mortars.  
 
Just light the bomb’s fuse, push it beyond the muzzle and into the chamber, and fire the gun before it explodes to launch the bomb.  
What could possibly go wrong?

Ever hear of this gun?  
The Apache revolver made in 1860  
A mix between a pepperbox revolver, a knife, and knuckle duster  

@Any Pony  
Wasn’t that used by a bunch of gangsters?
 
Even earlier. People had these.  

 
The duck foot pistol. They were used mostly by ship captains as a self defense weapon against mutiny.

@SeraphimDawn  
People sure love making strange guns…  
Speaking of strange guns.  
 
Nazi belt buckle pistol,  
Fewer than ten have ever been found

@Any Pony  
Harmonica pistol  

 
Basically you slide the magazine as you shoot. Most famous examples were made by Jonathan Browning who was the father of John Moses Browning.

@BadgingBadger  
They’re more sticks than they are guns.
 
There wheel-lock versions of those.  

 
Speaking of wheel-locks.  
 
This double barrel beauty was from the 17th century.
 
Here’s a Saxon Double Barrel Wheel Lock

@SeraphimDawn  
Gavrilo Princip. The man who killed 17 million with one bullet.

@SeraphimDawn  
Here’s a less successful copy of it made by Spain.

@BadgingBadger  
Mr Browning expressed guilt over the fact that one of his guns was responsible for that. However, his guns also helped fight the war and helped countless soldier defeat the Axis in WW2.
 
 
@zerowinger66  
Spain also produced the Ruby pistol, which was based on Browning’s M1903 Hammerless pocket pistols. They were a favourite with European officers in the First World War.

Let’s give some love to arguably the most American gun ever made.
 
The Remington 870.  

 
I love this gun!

@noobiestbrony  
Used by civilians, hunters, law enforcement, and the military.  
It is THE shotgun most people would think of when they hear the word.

@noobiestbrony
 
@SeraphimDawn  
It’s great for taking on the T-1000 too.  

Is there any sort of bullpup bolt-action rifle?

@BadgingBadger  
There’s the Barrett M95:  
 
But that’s only what I can think of off the top of my head.

@BadgingBadger  
There’s this neat thing.  

 
There’s also the Thorneycroft carbine, AKA the worst bolt action rifle ever made.

@BadgingBadger
 
KSVK 12.7

This POS was the gun used in the attempted assassination of former US president Ronald Reagan in 1981.  
 
The Rohm RG-14.  
Made in Germany of all places.
 
 
I hear they only costed like $24 each. Cheap even by Saturday Night Special “standards”. There are better cheap guns out there.
 
Here is one in action

I just remembered one other bullpup bolt-action. I had seen it in a private ad and wasn’t sure if it was real or not, but apparently it is. Depending on your point of view, this is either the most awesome or most absurd concept ever -
 
A Bullpup Mosin-Nagant  

@zerowinger66  
The bolt looks pretty awkward to operate.

Anyone please post smallest handguns?

@SeraphimDawn  
Well… ever heard of the kolibri from WWI? It appears in Battlefield 1.  
There was also the Protector Palm Pistol, fired by squeezing.
