Yepp this Harmonika Gun is realy interesting, but also not realy unsave because the Pins..
This "Nazi SS Belt Pistol Thing" was also interesting, but also a bit strange, i mean how whil you aim if you have to look on your belt..
In Germany, Guns are banned, so whe have to watch american Youtube Chanels, or Mike Spreave whit his Slingshots :)
Never fired a Fireweapon because this, just a Air Rifle on a Shootingrange long time ago, and some Bows,
But as whit Rifles, also the old Nazis are banned, so no hopefully no SS Man who shoots peaple whit his Belt...

Mybe i get me a Slingshoot once, just to have something to play whit, but i dotnt understand why you Americans need Fireweapons..
They not even that Usefull as a Schweizer Taschenmesser (Swiss Army Knife)
But the Problem is in Amerika: everyone had the right to own one, your friend and your enemy, so you ditnt have a changse to put they in the Bin ..

They are realy cool guns out there, and i can you understand why you all are Firearm Fans, but please: dotnt shoot on livings..
Your SAK is only fully yours, when it bites you, or you opend a Trink of your joice whit it
SAKs i have: Huntsman Light (Red Transparent), Workchamp (Black), Wenger EvoGrip S557 (Red), Swisschamp XLT (Red Transparent)..

If we're getting into the weird and wacky then I do think this Rocket Pistol needs a mention.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98c2t_uK5Uo&list=UUrfKGpvbEQXcbe68dzXgJuA&index=19

This is the perfect pistol for you if you have Dan Dare fantasies I'd say. 8)

They were used in one of the Bond movies I think :think:

"You Only Live Twice", one of my favorite Bond movies.

I have always wondered about a revolver with a magazine to increase capacity and this is what I had imagined.

There are automatic cannons that are magazine fed revolvers as well.

There are automatic revolvers that are combination automatics and revolvers. However the term was also widely used back around 1900 for break-open revolvers with automatic ejection.

Another oldie and not-so-goodie - the Mars.

The Mars Automatic Pistol, also sometimes known as the Webley-Mars, was a semi-automatic pistol developed in 1900 by the Englishman Hugh Gabbet-Fairfax and distributed by the Mars Automatic Pistol Syndicate Ltd. of Birmingham. It was manufactured first by Webley & Scott and later by small gunmakers in Birmingham and London. Manufacture ceased in 1907.

The Mars Automatic Pistol is noted for being available in a variety of 8.5 mm, 9 mm and .45 calibres. These were all bottlenecked cartridges with a large charge of powder, making the .45 version the most powerful handgun in the world for a time. It used a unique long recoil rotating bolt action which ejected spent cartridges straight to the rear.

The Mars Automatic Pistol was rejected by the British War Office as a possible replacement for the Webley & Scott Revolver, then in service with the British Army, because of the unacceptably large recoil, considerable muzzle flash, and mechanical complexity. The captain in charge of tests of the Mars at the Naval Gunnery School in 1902 observed, "No one who fired once with the pistol wished to shoot it again". Shooting the Mars pistol was described as "singularly unpleasant and alarming".[2] It has since become a collectors' item because of its rarity and as an example of the earliest developments in semi-automatic pistols. It inspired the design of the present day Desert Eagle.[citation needed]

hose suckers and big and heavy compared to today's 9mm pocket pistols.  Some guys no doubt carry a 1911 on a daily basis, but you gotta commit to it.  I'll be sticking with something small, light and spicy in the pocket - Kahr PM9, S&W 442, etc.

The one you HAVE WITH YOU, damn sure beats the one you left in the car, or at home!

Working on a Grendel inc. P12 tonight.


I had one of those for a while....Let's just say he's come a LONG way in design ability.

Supposedly the only pistol in history it took less time to make than to load. Thought the Deer Gun may fall in that category too.

They almost make a Sten look elegant.

The idea behind the Liberator and Deer Gun was that they'd be dropped behind enemy lines.  Resistance fighters would use them to kill an enemy soldier and take his weapon to use.  As for acutal use, I read once that there's not a single documented case of an FP-45 being put to its intended use.

Yeah Id read that in a book about guerilla warfare, and that the allies had a devil of a job trying to account for all these perfect assassination weapons they'd dropped throughout Europe!

And I can see the relationship mate :)

One version I read was that the Liberator was intended for occupied colonies in the Far East. and that the gun would rust out before the European Powers returned. Guerrillas in Europe tended to get Stens and M-1 carbines.

Found this interesting video on Forgottenweapons.com last night regarding the MKIII Ross.  It shows exactly why these rifles have a widowmaker reputation, though it might not be quite what's come down through history.  He manages to get it to fire unlocked, but the bolt doesn't go flying out of the rifle.   You also get a good view of the interrupted-screw style locking the later Ross' used.  Earlier ones used standard locking lugs a la Mauser, Lee, Mosin, etc.  The earlier Ross models had an odd feature known as the Harris controlled platform magazine.  A lever on the side of the rifle depressed the internal magazine follower, allowing five rounds to be dropped in.  Releasing the lever put the rounds under tension.  A bit Krag-like, but all internal.
