Maybe this is taking the topic title a little too literally (no, I'm not about to post actual porn):

Also, there's something about women who could probably kick your ass.  Maybe I'm just a bit weird.

Btw, are we including armour in this topic too?  And are fantasy weapons/armour allowed or is it only stuff that actually exists/existed?

I've always had a thing for Asian armour and weaponry, particularly Japanese.  If I remember correctly, the guy in the armour in the pic below made it himself:

That's actually from a whole collection of Chechen homemade guns. The Chechens love them, especially the Borz ("Wolf") submachine gun. SMGs are extremely cheap and easy to make from basic hardware (Google the Luty design if you want free internet instructions), so you can turn out dozens of them in a one-man garage workshop as essentially disposable firepower for guerrillas.

Looking at that rifle, the only recognizable bit is the Mosin-Nagant bolt. I'm guessing it's a bolt-action carbine in 7.62x54mm.

I looked at Luty's website and his designs look rather interesting. That said, apparently you get arrested for buying his E-book in the UK, according to one story on his site.

No need to worry about buying the book. The instructions for the Luty design (plus tons of others) are available for free in any text-based form imaginable on the internet. Except maybe ASCII.

There's even a guy who specializes in airguns that can match firearms in firepower, including compressed air submachine guns.

It really is a good weapon for supervillains. You use it in the opening and spend the rest of the movie repairing the barrel while the heroes eventually band together to foil your plans.

I do like old guns and some of them are just fascinating.

LeMat: Cap and Ball revolver with 9 shots in the cylinder and a single shotgun barrel in the middle of the cylinder. It had a lot of firepower compared to the other guns of that time and suprisingly it has gained some fame in movies and games as well.
(http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6nlfelqiJ1rzlpz5o3_500.jpg)

And things like these are just weird and cool:

"I am going to shoot you in the face and you will be the lucky one since your buddies get hacked to bits with an axe."

And can't forget Howdah pistols:
(http://www.19thcenturyweapons.com/907/hand/pix/howdahopen.jpg)
That's right, that isn't a sawed off shotgun. It is a twin barreled pistol chambered in .577. The name comes from the fact that they were originally used by tiger hunters that were riding on elephants (Howdah is the seat/carriage on top of an elephant.) Those guns were a backup gun in case the tiger decided to be unsporting and try to attack the hunter (Such arrogance, those filthy animals truly have no respect for the laws of God or men.) in self defense and climb up the howdah.

(Those were also used by British officers who didn't trust their revolvers to be powerful enough and I plan to get one for my character ASAP if a certain steampunk rpg gets started.)

The axe gun was probably crap but looked cool so people kept using it.

Post by: Random Gal on May 11, 2014, 01:46:13 am
The only real problem with the axegun design, as far as I can tell, is that it's difficult to aim with the billhook end in the way. However, if you removed that and left it with a single axehead below the barrel, I don't see anything wrong with it besides maybe some balance issues.

Regarding axe guns and sword guns, I've seen examples in museums but I have yet to find any source that indicates they were ever really used in battle, and most I've seen look like they'd make for both a shit sword and a shit gun, so  I suspect they were mostly novelty items.

Thank you.  ;D

We now return you to your irregular dose of gun porn:

The worlds oldest revolver.
(http://www.maihaugen.no/PageFiles/1320/Revolver460x346.jpg)
Built in 1597 by a weapon produser named Hans Stopler in Nüremberg Germany. The firing mechanism is a type of flintlock and the cylinder holds up to 8 shots. The words "ahead of its time" are thrown around a lot but in this case it is true. For over two CENTURIES afterwards the revolving cylinder with one barrel was not seen again and weapons that could be fired more than once simply had several barrels. (the fact that this gun has only one barrel increases accuracy since in a multibarreled gun the barrels might by teeny tiny bit bent in different directions meaning that they are not hitting the same spot. This is even true in my modern shotgun.)

Mace gun at the Tower of London:
(http://carpeomnisdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dsc02679.jpg?w=490&h=275)
Much like the axe-gun posted before this is not exceptionally functional gun but it offers a single shot (even if inaccurate and hard to aim) and can then be used to bash your enemies' skulls.

.22lr gatling gun:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4i9_kkg30o
If I was allowed to pick one gun to own, just for fun, just as something to take to the range and shoot at targets for pure fun... This would be it.
Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn
Post by: I am lizard on May 14, 2014, 01:38:53 am
Awseome But Impractical.
Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn
Post by: Askold on May 14, 2014, 01:57:43 am
Which one or all of them?

The revolver is more practical than the multibarreled pistols of that time.

The mace may be harder to aim than a regular gun but it does offer one shot from close range, where the inaccuracy is not such a big deal and seems like it would be a pretty decent mace.

The gatling gun has no practical use but that is why I said it would just be a fun-gun. put a hundred tin cans, watermelons and paper targets in front of it and cackle maniacally as you mow down your targets. It's not like it is any dumber waste of money than driving around in your car for fun and the .22lr ammo is the cheapest ammo. (Outside of USA where I've understood that the ammo hoarding and companies using it to milk more money out of gun owners and loonies has driven up the prices.)
Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn
Post by: I am lizard on May 14, 2014, 02:14:48 am
I'm guessing the pistol was probably only good if you had lots of money to burn.

No shit. And that's if you can even find it at fucking all anymore. Seriously, the panic is (largely) over and places are still rationing how much .22LR ammo people can buy.
Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn

a) I just realized that in the MSG video the revolver's loading port is on the wrong side.

b)
I'm guessing the pistol was probably only good if you had lots of money to burn.
Well... Kinda. It WOULD be better than the other flinlocks of that era but it is an unique piece as it was very complicated to make (and therefore extremely expensive and a show of craftmanship from the gunsmith) and didn't seem to gain popularity.

After all, you might as well carry several flintlock pistols (which would be more reliable) or have a multibarreled pistol (or several) which would all be cheaper and probably more reliable as well. That thing was probably carried by some rich officer who wanted a cool gun that is light to carry. (I am still pointing out that the idea is pretty advanced and once cap and ball guns came to market that would have been a light, reliable and accurate gun compared to the pepperbox revolvers or multibarreled ones of that era.)

At least the Tulip can be used to fire conventional ammo as well. AND you can fire it further than the "RADIUS OF DEATH" thereby possibly not making it a suicide attack. (And since it is self propelled the crew can pack it up after firing and drive away as fast as they can. Which is actually a viable tactic and used to protect mobile artillery from counter-batteries.)

Davy Crockett on the other hand is just a dick joke that got out of hands.

Post by: MadCatTLX on May 20, 2014, 01:28:11 am
Actually, the Davy Crockett was meant to be mountable on jeeps and was safe from the fallout if upwind when stationary.

Edit: I forgot to add, a couple days ago I went to the Renaisance fair in Muskogee, Oklahoma and got a sword from Badger Blades. I'll post pics in a couple days when I hopefully finish making a sheath and get all my other knifes collected up for a good photo opportunity. I'm cleaning out my game room/workshop/storage room/armory, so I've got a good chance to get most of them together.

Something weird I've noticed is that at least a few recent video games show the characters keeping their finger of the trigger most of the time. The two that come to mind are Payday 2, and of  all games GTA V. I don't know why game designers have suddenly decided to show proper trigger safety, but it's interesting to see them get details right sometimes. Now if they'd tell me how a sawed off Remington 870 can hold 10 shells... (Locomotive shotgun from Payday 2 when upgraded.)

Few years ago it was still limited character models and in Max Payne for example everyone had their hands like they were holding pistols with their fingers on the triggers all the time. Other shooters I remember just having the hands held in fist or something.

GTA V has an ass-load of tiny little details like that that largley go unnoticed.  I like the tiny little details in games and movies that hardly anyone notices, to me it shows the makers actually cared about what they were making.

Something weird I've noticed is that at least a few recent video games show the characters keeping their finger of the trigger most of the time. The two that come to mind are Payday 2, and of  all games GTA V. I don't know why game designers have suddenly decided to show proper trigger safety, but it's interesting to see them get details right sometimes. Now if they'd tell me how a sawed off Remington 870 can hold 10 shells... (Locomotive shotgun from Payday 2 when upgraded.)

The internet has started becoming more and more vocal and influential when it comes to game design, and the gun guys are there too. IMFDB not only catalogs the firearms used in visual media, it also tends to point out every single mistake or lazy artist they can find. The site is not only huge (and includes contributors in the film industry), it's been covered by news publications for its prominence.

Basically, any company that makes mistakes with its gun handling is going to get loudly lambasted to the moon and back by thousands of customers. Meanwhile, games that make an effort to show proper handling and add realistic details tend to be loudly praised by the shooters in the gaming community.

Edited to add:
My Soviet/Russian Baikal air gun collection. The ones on the ends are 80's Soviet era and the two in the middle are current era Russian I picked up after a 20 year 'toy' buying hiatus... I saw the second gun from the right in Princess Auto, held it for a minute, and decided practicality be damned (indoor use only in my town), I wanted another Russian lead chucker over the Chinese airsoft rifle I had initially gone in to buy. Then a while later the other one went on sale from the importer for a ridiculously low price.  :P

There are some good double barreled rifles. Back in the old days those were nearly mandatory for big game hunters simply for the sake of safety.

Guns like this are not only practical but also pretty:
(http://31.media.tumblr.com/305777740e6a450327622f55a4a2ca3b/tumblr_mub7i0apkR1s60t1yo1_1280.jpg)

And then we got guns like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD4u_e2xjE4

...The benefits are really few and do not overcome the added weight and the awkward two trigger build.

Oh, two triggers? They specifically point out that those two triggers and being semiauto only make it legal in USA for civilians, which I assume reveals the reason for this guns existence. Rather than the bull about military use this gun is purely for those gun-hobbyists who want a twinlinked assault rifle.
Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn
Post by: chitoryu12 on June 08, 2014, 02:54:27 pm
The Gilboa Snake would never be purchased by any actual special forces group anyway. Never mind the added weight and complexity to the gun and the awkwardness of the setup; actual special forces groups probably have access to compact assault rifles anyway! A semi-auto rifle that tries to "cheat" full auto fire through two barrels and triggers is completely useless to them. Even the ammo capacity is pointless, since we have 60-round casket magazines available that can be reloaded as one unit rather than two.

I can't see this gun being successful. The Desert Eagle at least has legitimate uses in handgun hunting to justify buying it for a practical purpose, but the Snake is inferior to regular rifles in so many ways that it's destined to be nothing but an expensive range queen.
Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn
Post by: Askold on June 08, 2014, 03:00:26 pm
I think they could and probably will make full auto versions of the Snake if some military buys them, but the point is that they made a civilian version specifically to fit the laws in USA. But the military version would still have two triggers due to the way it was made and that is STILL awkward.

If you want higher ammo capacity more or bigger magazines is better solution. If you want faster rate of fire making a regular Assault rifle with a higher ROF is better than using two guns.

Should have just come out straight and said that it is a quirky gun for those who like them. Like the people who made these:

Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn
Post by: chitoryu12 on June 08, 2014, 03:31:10 pm
I don't even see a double-barrel assault rifle being much use. A lightweight carbine with a light bolt will have a rate of fire perfectly suitable for close quarters battle or suppression, and a casket magazine immediately gives you the same capacity as a Snake. Two barrels also have a major problem: convergence. In order to achieve a semblance of accuracy, the barrels are typically slightly angled inward so the bullets converge at a specific point. Even with convergence, the gun will lack accuracy at ranges below or above that point. Without convergence, you're shooting with the sights too far to the side. A Mk 18 Mod 0 may have relatively low accuracy and range from its short barrel, but it can still hit a man 100 yards out with a single shot because the sights are aligned with the barrel.

It would literally only be useful in immediate close quarters fighting where you're relying on full auto sprays with relatively little accuracy.....and we already have regular guns that accomplish that with half the complexity and cost.

@R.U. Sirius

Nope!

http://www.oldeshillelagh.com/DSCF1178.JPG (too big to direct image link, no point putting it in a spoiler tag either)

These are shillelaghs.  Shillelagh is pronounced "Shi-Lay-Lee" or "Shi-Lay-La" (both are valid)

They're an old Irish weapon.  Who needs a swordcane when your cane is a potent weapon in its own right?  They're basically clubcanes.  Those bulbous heads are sometimes hollowed out and filled with molten lead.  Now, imagine that cracking your skull open.

Or rather, don't, because it might give you a headache.
Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn
Post by: Askold on June 08, 2014, 11:28:30 pm
Now that you mention it...


Since Frogman was asking about walking sticks and swordcanes I looked around a bit and found this:
(http://www.coldsteel.com/images/products/91PBS_m.jpg)
Quote
The original Blackthorn sticks were 2 to 4 foot long Irish shillelaghs (the national weapon of rural Ireland). In expert hands the shillelagh was so fearsome that during the final occupation of Ireland, the English outlawed it. To get around the law, the Irish turned the shillelagh into a 3-foot walking stick. The English didn't want to appear unreasonable by outlawing walking sticks too, so the Irish kept their modified shillelaghs and the world gained a beautiful and functional walking stick known simply as the Blackthorn.

Sadly it is made from PP rather than real wood but that means that it is a sturdy walking stick that is also pretty good club if you need to defend yourself. And honestly, I have never really liked swordcanes and after trying SCA armoured combat I've come to the conclusion that a nice club is just as good for the fictional and unlikely self defense situation.

And really, I'd rather have a sturdy cane than a flimsy and cheap sword-cane. It would probably be a better cane as well.

I know what you're thinking and you're right; odachi's like that were not used in battle.  They were ceremonial, mostly used as offerings at shrines.  However smaller ones were used on the battlefield, most likely on horseback (or possibly even as an anti-cavalry weapon).  "Smaller" is a relative term though; they were still the size of a person and required a servant to help you draw them.  [spoilered for size]

As trophies, yes. As a weapon, soldiers would pick up the AKs that were just as common that fired the same round full auto with a larger capacity, detachable magazine.

And yeah, the AR-15 became perfectly reliable starting with the XM16E1 (later made into the M16A1), as well as the issuance of cleaning kits and instructions and the use of cleaner-burning gunpowder.

Despite the reputation of the two weapons, the AK-47 isn't mythological and the M16 isn't a piece of crap. The AK is more durable and reliable, but it'll still malfunction or break if you don't take care of it; it'll just last longer than some competitors. The M16 requires more regular cleaning, but it'll function flawlessly if kept maintained and the requirements aren't so stringent that a soldier would be incapable of performing them. For civilians, you have no excuse for not cleaning it.

Here's a knife I made myself from the blade of an edger. The shape of the blade and handle was chosen mainly because of the size and shape of the edger blade I started with. I didn't heat treat it because however the original blade was treated should be fine because I was careful not to get it too hot when shaping it. I haven't actually sharpened the blade yet, what you see is just the rough shaping. The splotches on the handle around the brass pins are wood filler. I thought it would blend in better, but that wasn't the case. The handle scales are attached to the metal with E6000 glue, with the brass pins stopping shearing forces (the weakest point of the glue).

Speaking of which, I found out about an estate auction coming up where some guns are going to be auctioned off. If I'm really lucky I might be able to get a single shot bolt action .50 for under $1000. Since I looked up the particular model and It's from a relatively unknown company and it only costs $2400 new, I figure a used one at an obscure auction will hopefully go for half that or less, especially since most people who know about and come to these auctions aren't coming to buy guns, much less a .50. Having saved up a fair bit of money from mowing grass over the summer, and borrowing money from my little brother I might just be able to get it.

Damen, what do you think it will go for? It's made by Serbu, who's claim to fame is the super-shorty shotgun. In addition to that and this .50 the only other gun they make is a semi-auto .50. Now, if this was the equivalent gun from, say, Barrett, I would expect it to go for more.
Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn
Post by: Damen on August 09, 2014, 11:04:25 pm
I'd say if you can get any .50 cal for under four digits then jump on it. And if you can find one for under $2k you're still getting a hell of a deal.

As for Serbu, well, let's just say that if I had the cash, I'd likely get one of their .50's if only for the name: BFG-50. But Serbu also has a rep for pretty good weapons, so I wouldn't feel bad dropping some cash on one of their products.

I'm hoping it goes for under $1,000. The limit I'm willing and able to spend on it is about $1,200 anyway.

As it is right now, I have about $550+ in my wallet, $200+ in saved up loose change, I'm hoping to get paid for mowing again before the auction (another $550), and my little brother has about a $1,000 saved up hidden in his closet somewhere from money he's gotten from birthdays and Christmas in the past. He is surprisingly less enthusiastic about the .50 than I would have expected, but I think I can get him to loan me the money anyway.

Shouldn't you be wearing something to protect you from zombie bites, scratches and fluids anyway? Even moreso if you consider melee to be a possibility and plan to survive it.

Well, looking through this thread, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes the classics. Like a good Savage youth model bolt action .222.The first gun I ever shot. Hopefully it'll be the first my children fire. Mossbergs are... neat. My bolt action Mossberg shotgun taught me how to make rounds count.  But right now my simple Winchester model 12 is my go to gun. 65 years old and still shoots as straight and reliable as the day she rolled off the line. My grandfather took pheasants in his day with it. My dad took grouse with the very same gun. A couple weeks ago I brought home a mixed bag of 3 ducks, a house, and a limit of rabbits. I'd like to think some day my sons (at least one of them) will use my grandfather's Winchester to help have the dinner table with something.

Something weird I've noticed is that at least a few recent video games show the characters keeping their finger of the trigger most of the time. The two that come to mind are Payday 2, and of  all games GTA V. I don't know why game designers have suddenly decided to show proper trigger safety, but it's interesting to see them get details right sometimes. Now if they'd tell me how a sawed off Remington 870 can hold 10 shells... (Locomotive shotgun from Payday 2 when upgraded.)

I suppose you could go for a more practical Alabama Legislator vampire-killing route as follows. We don't use these when they adjourn for recess, I swear!

You use a revolver-type gun that accepts cartridges pressurized air to sling a single foot-long, 9mm wide wooden stake covered in WD-40 into the heart of the poor fucker on the other end. As it exits the chamber, a pilot light ignites the WD-40 and sends a burning wooden stake straight into the heart of the vampiric fiend.

He ain't getting back up after that, I can assure you.

If you ever need an image of a "steampunk" revolver try using the cartridge version of Lemat:

Perhaps not the ugliest gun in the world but it does deserve a special mention in the category of ugly guns.

And damn that thing is heavy. Not something you would want to carry on your belt...

(But I still have a soft spot for it. Just like I have a soft spot for the rifle version of Lemat... Sooo ugly. But at least they have  character.)

How many goddamn chambers does that thing have? I count five from the side depicted alone.

My current personal favorite in weapon aesthetics is the Taser X-2 and how futuristic it looks without all the dorky yellow stripes of the X-3. It has a range of 30 feet, and is semi-automatic. Sure, it's usage makes me incredibly uncomfortable but it's so bad-ass looking.

I will dig up the video from "Forgotten weapons" when I get back to my computer, but short version: the original black powder Lemat was mildly popular with Confederate officers but the pic is from a later 11mm cartridge version which was a commercial failure. Both guns had many chambers so that the shotgun barrel would fit in the center, but the later version that used 20gauge shells was particularly big and clumsy gun. In a time when revolvers were slow to reload the huge capacity from Lemat had advantages, but not everyone liked the weight.

The AK 5 automatic carbine is the Swedish variation of the FN FNC, the new right arm of the free world. It is specially adapted to the Swedish climate and sports modifications similar to that of the infamous Arctic Warfare rifle.

Thousands of gun-nuts just felt their jimmies rustle... A battle rifle uses full sized rifle cartridges, such as the 7.62Nato or 7.92x57mm or 7.62x54R while an assault rifle such as the AK5 uses an intermediate cartridge like 7.62x29mm, 5.56NAto or 7.92X33mm.

Title: Re: Gun and weapon porn
Post by: MadCatTLX on January 12, 2015, 10:35:38 pm
 I want one of the reproduction trench gun versions, but I've heard the quality on them can be great or terrible depending on the batch they come from. My next option is to recreate a trench gun with a modern shotgun. The two options being the Mossberg 500 and the Remington 870.

 Now, the 500 already has what could be considered the modern equivalent to the trench gun in the 590A1, which has a heat shield and bayonet lug. The problem is that while I have a version of the 500 (A New Haven with a variable choke barrel) I can't mount a bayonet lug, because unlike many other shotguns, the design doesn't allow a magazine tube extension, except for the models that already have one, with the 590 being the only one with a bayonet lug. While 590s aren't terribly expensive from what I remember, they aren't quite as cheap and common as the other variants of the 500 and 870. Adding just the heat shield and a slightly shorter barrel (Compared to the monster length bird hunting barrel that it has now) would be cheap enough, but the bayonet lug is the best part.

 The 870 on the other hand does accept mag tube extensions, and ones with bayonet lugs do exist. The problem here is that the cost of the bayonet lug mag tube extension is almost as much as the cheapest used 870s out there. Granted the mag tube seems to be made to a high grade, justifying the price. As with the 500, barrels and heat shields are plentiful and fairly cheap, even for good ones. The problem here being that I don't own an 870, yet.

 One downside to either of those is that it uses the same bayonet lug as the AR series rifles, meaning they use the modern bayonets as well. If you know the 97' and the bayonets of the time, you might know that a long and short version exist, with the long one being almost a short sword. Of course, high quality, usable as knives versions of either style are pricey. the OKC M9 bayonet is nice, and from what I heard, well worth the cost. Finding a quality usable reproduction of the old style is a bit hard, but I hear they're out there. Of course the solution around all that is just make a custom bayonet. I know knife making, and I could either mount the new blade in an old handle (Plenty of old bayonets with chipped, broken, and abused blades out there) or I could also make the handle and locking mechanism from scratch fairly easily.

Since your pic is of the normal 97' and not the trench gun variant, I'll post some pics.

(http://olive-drab.com/images/firearms_shotgun_m1897_600.jpg)

 There was also a takedown version (a gun that can be taken apart for easier transport) of the 97", which I don't think is very common in shotguns. I used to have some pictures of one with a custom case made from a violin case or something, gangster style.

 Aside from all that, and making a long post even longer, I want to mention how that despite their name, combat knives (bayonet or otherwise) rarely get used for such. Most often they get used for the same things a pocket knife get used for; cutting rope, opening a box, and so on. In fact, I'd say kitchen knives probably see more blood than combat knives, and I don't mean cutting meat. I don't know for sure, but the number of deaths by knife both in military combat and among civilians is probably not just higher in general by number of knives of said type, but also proportionally to the number of each. I wouldn't be too concerned about the guy with six Ka-Bars on his belt, but that chef over there looks shady as fuck.

Takedown guns were a really common thing back in the late 19th century up til about the 1950s or so. A ton of models, like the Winchester 1897, Remington Model 8 semi-auto rifle, and myriad .22 rifles could all be quickly broken down into two or three sections for ease of storage. Today this is usually substituted for folding stocks or completely folding guns (like the Kel-Tec SUB 2000 and SU-16), which are designed for compact self-defense storage rather than just ease of carrying.

That's an A7V, the first German tank. It was designed more along the "rolling fortress" idea than as a combat vehicle, since this was still very early in the tank's infancy and everyone was still working out exactly what they would want. So it had the front anti-tank gun, machine guns on all sides, and racks of rifles on the inside in case the crew needed to abandon the vehicle and fight on foot.

Russian weapons are pretty ingenious. From the reliable AK to that handgun the Spetznaz had that chambers a round as you pull it from the holster. The holster holds the side. You don't draw it up, you push it down. And as you do that, the holster grips the slide and charges it. How freaking awesome is that?

Russian weapons are pretty ingenious. From the reliable AK to that handgun the Spetznaz had that chambers a round as you pull it from the holster. The holster holds the side. You don't draw it up, you push it down. And as you do that, the holster grips the slide and charges it. How freaking awesome is that?

I think that was Makarov PM and the gun itself is just a decent gun based on Walther PPK, but the holster was what made that trick possible. It also means that you can carry the gun with the chamber empty and the safety off and you can reload it in a single move (wether or not it is safe enough to carry a loaded and chambered gun with the safety on is a matter of debate. Some advocate carrying a gun always loaded for speedy draw and shoot while others do not trust the safety in their guns enough to do that.)

Kriss Vector will soon be available in 9mmPara. It used to be .45ACP only and if it made the recoil manageable in that it should be really steady gun to shoot on full auto with the 9mm cartridge.

In a way, the Doom Movie may have been a labor of love despite it's crappiness. For the love of Romero, they had the guy who designed the fucking Alien Queen doing the prop work! And it is pretty good-looking prop work, especially for the guns.

This is built off the HK G-36, just so you know.

Fun fact: This even has a shout-out to the pulse rifle in the form of a similar ammunition counter on the side.

The China Lake Launcher, which is the M79 but basically better in almost every way compared to the M79. Of course, somehow the Army didn't catch onto the fact that the China Lake was far superior and it was only issued to the respective branches's special forces.

If the M79 was the best grenade launcher available at the time, it's cousin was better in every way possible. The problems inherent to a break-action weapon with only one barrel? Pump action and tube magazine, carrying a maximum of three 40x46 millimeter grenades. The sheer weight? According to operator testimony, China Lake was lighter and the aforementioned tube magazine saved much of the burden in carrying extra grenades. Fire rate? Skilled operators can fire off four rounds before the first hits the ground.

It's like a grenade-spewing tube of death, man. Sure, it's about as rare as Das Rheingold, genuine  Wootz Steel and Greek Fire combined. But it sure does leave one hell of a impression.

First of all: A new batch of China Lake was built because some prisons in USA thought it would make a great tear gas launcher.

Second: M79 does have a few advantages.

a) It is more reliable, because there are less moving parts and less things that can go wrong with it.
b) It is cheaper.
c) In a pump action gun changing the ammo is pretty hard, with a M79 you just take out the shell from the barrel and swap it to something else. (The soldiers usually had a huge shotgun shell in the barrel just in case an enemy popped out too near to use the grenades. They would swap it to a grenade if enemies were further away when the battle started. With a China Lake you would have to pump out the first shell and it would drop to the ground.)
d) What are the problems with break action guns? Ammo capacity is the only one I can think of and after the first three shots the reloading speeds with M79 and China Lake are pretty much the same.

I'd say that the increased frequency of reloads combined with the arming distance of the M79 would make it a bit more aggravating if one was caught by surprise in a close-quarters situation. In fact, this was why the shotgun and flechette rounds were even created: So you don't have to rely on the .45 cal and burden yourself even more.

But then again, I would go with the M79 for sheer rugged reliability in the Izmash vein.

And speaking of overkill:

Weren't they accurate to about 6 feet, with an effective range not quite double that? I'll grant Gyros were a pretty neat concept, though. Shooting rockets out of a gun at someone is kinda James Bond.

55 yards/50 meters, actually. That may not be a lot, but it's just the same as the standard: the Beretta 92. Speaking of Berettas, one of my favorite movies has a beautiful statement to make about the brand.

Gyrojets had the same or slightly greater accuracy and power than the standard issue M1911A1....when working. They already had an inherent problem in that they did quite little damage at point blank range due to accelerating as they exited the barrel instead of exiting at their maximum velocity like regular bullets (Not the mythical "You can block the muzzle with a piece of cardboard" weak, but it probably wouldn't kill you), but it was made worse when a faulty production run of ammunition accidentally blocked one of the exhaust ports on the rocket. The rockets relied on a very careful balance to ensure gyroscopic stabilization and give them accuracy; when one of the ports was blocked, the bullet would corkscrew and land in a random location.

The concept already had some inherent issues (the prototypes could only be loaded one round at a time into a fixed magazine and the rockets were far more expensive to make than cartridges), but the faulty run of ammo only exacerbated it.

The rounds each costed a fuck ton of money as well.

Possibly the worst revolver in the world...

Yes, revolver. I know it looks like the "Street sweeper" shotgun, because it was made by the same company (and mostly from the same parts as the shotgun.) Actually, it is chambered in .45-70 which you may recognize as the massively powerful cartridge in Fallout New Vegas or as the famous buffalo hunting cartridge that it was in real life.

So, the company basically made a massive and complicated 12 shot revolver. Unfortunately this revolver is as unwieldy as the "Street sweeper" shotgun and apart from sharing the same awkwardness and unreliability as the other model the "Lady's companion" also suffers from the fact that by trying to reuse parts from the other model they have created new problems with this gun. Like the fact that the ejector rod does not seem to work because the chambers usually don't align correctly...

Ooh, this is interesting:

http://www.forgottenweapons.com/7-65mm-radium-pistol-at-ria/#comment-2358713

Like a few of the early pistols this one does not have a detachable magazine. But unlike Mauser C-96 or the Steyr "what the heck was it" you don't reload it from the top. Instead, the side of the magazine opens up and you just put the cartridges in and close it.

Very innovative design. Too bad it was complicated and didn't have any real benefits over the competing designs and it is slow and awkward to reload. (You can't use a stripper clip so reloading it is slower than top loading magazines or detachable magazines.)

Then again, if you were simply looking for a pistol to use for target practise or didn't think you need to reload quickly it would be just fine and emptying the magazine is easier than with the other types of pistols.
