  1. “Revolver-Cannons. Belt-Fed Revolver-Cannons.” Sam had a pair of these, and he was fond of warming them up…
    82
  2. Probably want a slower shotgun powder, e.g. “Blue Dot” or slower.
    26
  3. “Drag-you-OFF-enuff…” (joke)
    26
  4. “…ear-cleaning distance, eh?”
    18
  5. Makes me want to grab mine!
    17
  6. Desperation Measures….
    16
  7. Perhaps they have trouble with rodents in the (military) henhouses, and do not wish to disturb the laying hens?
    13
  8. There was a brief picture in the Vid that showed sample rounds, and I think there were some h.e.d.p. Instances. Those can get through the thinner flavors of armor, say, what some BMP vehicles have…
    13
  9. “…used to bind spirits to articles….”
    13
  10.  @brahtrumpwonbigly7309  I meant “that noise makes me want to grab my teeth!”
    10
  11. There were - perhaps, still are. 30+ years ago, I fired one. ONCE. The buttstock felt about three inches too short. It was very uncomfortable to fire. Then, when the action cycled, it made a horrible ”GRAUNCH” noise that made my teeth wish to leave for parts unknown.
    8
  12. Those things are heavier than you might think, too. I recall holding one, briefly, at a gun show about thirty years ago.
    7
  13. Looks like they wanted it to work really good….
    7
  14. One Tester compared these pistols to “a young cannon.”
    6
  15. Wish I could have gone, but I had no way to get there then.
    6
  16. Yes, it puts a STOP to him.
    5
  17.  @shoelessbandit1581  true. I’ve not done the simulation - no games since the early 90’s. No time, nor energy for them. What I do know is from handling the real thing. Not seen or heard any full auto, but I have seen and participated in matches, done a little hunting - again, little time or energy for aught save brute survival, and a lot of informal target shooting.
    5
  18. Looks more like someone was using a big nasty file that needed carding!
    5
  19.  @tonguepunchman1528 they did develop the MP18, though…
    5
  20. Effective Muffler, no? At least, now I have a much better idea of what some (fictional) pistols look like on “The Island.”
    5
  21. And, of course, a soot-stained coffee pot. (Finn's are first for coffee consumption.). It does not hurt that "percolator* sounds a bit like a well-known Finnish oath.
    5
  22. Recall seeing a “brick” like the one in front of Ian about 1987 in a gun store, and the proprietor spoke of it as a “disposable” piece…
    5
  23. Have had that problem since birth, due to being born with just one ear.
    5
  24. Especially when said rhino is a steam-driven one, and has eaten a lot of brown coal recently. It will have a full head of stem, then…
    4
  25. “Twisted iron” sounds like they were starting with wrought iron, then “twisting/folding” the stuff to get excessive slag and impurities out of it.
    4
  26.  @panfriedmarmot  most of my reloading experience dates from about thirty years ago, and I think that one came out a bit more recently. Did it? What’s its burning rate? Fast? Slow? In between?
    4
  27. “Leaden Peas…” No, can’t eat them in Erbsensuppe!
    4
  28. Yes, Molotov’s Winter Warmer, - a fictional incendiary device that gives 5 seconds of intense high-temperature fire. Burns as hot as oxy-acetylene.
    4
  29. The bullpup version sounds useful for housecleaning.
    4
  30. “Boom! Shellac-Lakh! Boom!”
    4
  31. The m16 was designed with that in mind - distributed production (learned from WW2 in Germany), subcontracting, etc.
    4
  32. “…must have gotten into some Onions. Now - were those onions cooked in Oil, as per “Song of the Onion?”
    4
  33. Shows Fiochi ammunition behind him. It gave huge brilliant white fireballs in 7.63 Mauser!
    4
  34. Is it just me, or does the workmanship on this example seem better than the rule?
    3
  35. For sorta-close work? Inside of 200 meters???
    3
  36.  @ftdefiance1  they were $400+ 30 years ago when I bought mine. Wish I still had it.
    3
  37. @UCSb3OcVjvksszDIszkhTgHQ gunmetal, perhaps - 88% Cu, 8% Sn, 4% Zn? (British Recipe, though I would have added 1% Pb. Easier to cast and machine.)
    3
  38. “… which wear out in a big hurry and are terrible for accuracy….”
    3
  39. Jerry spoke fondly of the one he was issued circa 1970 or so.
    3
  40.  @DustyGamma yes, Agkistrodon Piscivorus. (hope I spelled that right.)
    3
  41. Hall-Scott, 1091 cubic inches of Gas 6-cylinder inline…
    3
  42.  @alancranford3398 thanks for the information about “the basic load”.
    3
  43. Muzzle flash that resembles that of a type 60-b!
    3
  44. “…pokers, Hup!”
    3
  45.  @george2113 poorly laid up in the Cosmic/Cosmoline?
    3
  46.  @dank8478  deaf on one side, here. Born that way - Goldenhar Syndrome. Don’t much care for toxic masculinity. Life is amply hard without making harder than needed. (Have the scars to prove this.)
    3
  47. They’re awesome pistols. Wish I still had mine.
    3
  48. Not-elusive, fictional Elk. This is the usual weapon - a four-bore - for animals that are as bad for trouble as Cape buffalo.
    2
  49. Copied over from the B.A.R. ? (Which also had twenty-round mags, if memory serves.)
    2
  50. “…and, if you’re a short, dark-haired lady, you use one of these rifles to get one of the best scores out of a large match.” I’d heard of using the magazine as a palm rest, but didn’t take it that seriously until I saw Madame use that twenty-round box in that exact way!
    2
  51. Love to know how to do this type of “wood-stuff” for tool-handles.
    2
  52.  @AshleyPomeroy  the barrel and receiver are all of a piece. I used to have one.
    2
  53. Thought so. Those spots did look riveted.
    2
  54. In Oz? They have bad critters, e.g. funnel-web spiders, eastern brown snakes, etc…
    2
  55. Casting parts like this is fairly straightforward, given the right kind of tools - sand, (I’d use Petrobond) - furnace, tools, etc…
    2
  56.  @warrioroflight4577  “he’s wanting coffee. Best send him the whole pot, er, Percolator.”
    2
  57. Yes, for house-cleaning.
    2
  58. You’d need to laminate such stocks to help them last in .Mil service?
    2
  59.  @joelee2371  Based on hearing a gun-store owner describing the behavior of these things on full-auto - as in he sounded like he was describing “the end of the world.” Based on his then-apparent age, I suspected he - like Jerry - was speaking from first hand experience. Jerry Liked his issued M14 - said it worked well. He went to Germany instead of ‘Nam, sometime in the late sixties, when I was in grade school and hadn’t yet had a chance to go for the physical. (Flunked it in ‘77, mostly due to being deaf on my right side, due to Goldenhar Syndrome.)
    2
  60. Yes, the off-world Hand-Howitzer….
    2
  61. Was this what (Gioconda) Petrovsky used in 9 Rota?
    2
  62. Awesome Banger! The fictional “hand-howitzer” is based on the 210.
    2
  63. Yup, archetypal plumber’s nightmare!
    2
  64. Looks like the major parts (except the ‘dust cover’) are machined, mostly because (I suspect) they didn’t make a whole lot of them (Russian scale, a few tens of thousands vs multiple millions).
    2
  65.  @DeltaTenNZ  have the equipment read their minds, e.g. “a mind reading drill.”
    2
  66. The Finnish dictionary might be useful so as to properly speak to the just-arrived food dehydrator. The brand name gives it away - “Magic Mill” - which is analogous to a certain magical device that much of the Kalevala revolves around.
    2
  67. Perhaps send some, uh, MG3s along with some Ammunition for them???
    2
  68.  @RustyShackleford-me7vb  excellent.
    2
  69. Even the 7.63 version is quite a handful. Fiochi ammunition gave a basketball-sized fireball out the muzzle (of the one I had.)
    2
  70.  @george2113  not sure what Russia uses for long term preservation of items prone to rusting, but I’ve heard this stuff is called Cosmic (grease) or Cosmoline. A guess, based on some of my own experience with Homebrewed chain wax, is that one might take petroleum refining residues - waxes, bunker fuel, etc - combine this stuff with just enough more refined oils to give a suitable consistency, then dip the weapons in question into a heated vat of the resulting gunge. Once cooled, the stuff would become a thick and clinging mess that should keep out corrosion. A further matter would be to wrap the parts in burlap while still warm, then a second dipping prior to boxing or binning for long-term storage. I’m thinking they simply shorted the “Cosmic” ingredients and then rushed the process, then afterward did not take care as to the actual storage. That would work ok for a while, but not decades. Left to set for that long - some stuff is going to get damaged unless you lay things up right.
    2
  71. True. It has very good “proportions.” It looks “right.”
    2
  72. One way, if you have an 870, is to dismantle the gun and clean and debur the inner pieces. Carefully stone the hardened parts where they rub against each other, then clean everything especially well and use (mil-surp) LSA oil to lube the parts. It will work much smoother then. Two-bangs on running “squirrels” were near-instinctual once I did that.
    2
  73. Yep. Big Mama is like that.
    2
  74.  @alaeriia01  yes, it does have kick, all right. The bruises took over a week to fade after a DCM match!
    2
  75.  @farengarsecret-fire9597 understood that perfectly. Danke sehr.
    2
  76. I think that’s the rifle the boy digs up in the movie “Come and See.”
    2
  77. “Desperation Measures?”
    1
  78. Perhaps a hardened ring at the front of the receivers with several small holes and ball bearings - converting the reshaped striker into something vaguely like the bolt assembly of an MP-5 (delayed blowback)
    1
  79.  @DanielSvensson666  load it up with #4 tungsten shot for those bomb-toting plated up brimstone-breath cursed wasps…
    1
  80.  @thelegate8636  sure they do. There are excerpts from the 1975 movie “food of the gods” that show truly large rats. Some might even be “lion-imitator” rats, which means you want a roer loaded up with small pistol balls cast of printer’s lead to stop them when they try for you. Note: the gun shown in the video is a breech-loading example of what was once called a roer by the Boers.
    1
  81. Or, if they existed in real life - (smaller, non-plate-wearing) Iron Pigs. First written about in 2002, so they predate the Dark Souls game - though the plated-up pig(s) there gives an idea of what the full-sized ones are like.
    1
  82. “My name is Yon Yonssen, I work in Wisconsin, I work in a lumber mill, there…”
    1
  83. “…it needs to work as well as possible…” Another way to look at this seeming over-engineering.
    1
  84. “…bleib rühiger….” (To make quiet)
    1
  85.  @MrBusinessAsUsual  I think my first rifle might have originally been one of these! Straight bolt handle, correct?
    1
  86. Slovenian House-Cleaning Tool! (Would work for cleaning out trenches, too. Wonder if any of these went to Ukraine?)
    1
  87. A Garand in 6.5 Japanese might be much less unpleasant to shoot much - less bruises?
    1
  88. Magic lead-spitting Mill?
    1
  89. “It’s a heavy brute, but it won’t let you down…”
    1
  90. Double-Barrel semi-auto Shotgun, with the owner’s initials engraved on the receiver, e.g E.M. Fudd.
    1
  91. Gears? Doesn’t this want Gear Oil to lube the action?
    1
  92. 8 gauge? As in “double-eight breech-loading elephant guns” from the novel “king Solomon’s mines?”
    1
  93. A rifle crossed with a Mule, for added Kick?
    1
  94. Ah! Perhaps make a pistol that’s the size and (roughly) shape of a Tokarev, only done with these? Good for smaller (four-legged) trouble?
    1
  95.  @colsoncustoms8994 n fiction, I have written of ammunition lasting nearly a millennium and firing as if freshly made. Chief issues were: cool, dry, darkened storage - think “a desiccated near-refrigerator” for storage - as well as a highly advanced propellant chemistry. (think non-nitrate chemistry) as well as a unique primer composition - one that is mildly corrosive to some metals.
    1
  96. Yes, short, dark-haired, very intelligent….
    1
  97. Juki, short for *Jukikanju.” (Spoken of in a book I have on Guadalcanal.) Note: there is a (excellent) commercial Sewing machine brand named Juki.
    1
  98. The rivets look really cool.
    1
  99. Wonder what kind of paint that is? It looks like it might work well for tools.
    1
  100. “…or a Bowler hat!”
    1
  101. Urutu - Bothrops Alternatus.
    1
  102. “What? No Scary Setting?” (full auto capability)
    1
  103. Real-Life Rat-Gun - for when the Witch-Rats are especially bad!
    1
  104. Looks like they wanted it to work “as well as was possible.”
    1
  105. Sewing Machine…? Wants regular cleaning and oiling….
    1
  106. How he endures the recoil of that thing is a mystery. I was sore for a week and more, black-and-blue, after firing an M1 at a match. (Got my own rifle after that. Scores went way up, due to the reduced recoil…)
    1
  107. “Sprong” is the noise that little knurled recoil plug in the front of a 1911 makes when it gets out from under your fingers while reassembling the pistol after cleaning it. Cut my forehead, and then I had to hunt for that piece….
    1
  108. The PM was also made in .380…. (Once had one. Very handy size..,)
    1
  109. Poor banger. It does not like mud. Then again, I don’t know of any pistol worth the bother that likes dirt, mud, etc.
    1
  110. They are doing things the way the (fictional) Rooster Totem does things about their enemies.
    1
  111. “Its bark is bad - really bad.” Pause. “Its bite is WORSE.”
    1
  112. After Dunkirk…
    1
  113. “Yo! A stove-pipe with its own Smoke!”
    1
  114. What causes the stickiness? Oxidized congealed oil?
    1
  115. Those look like Tig welds - like ones I’ve done on an “off” day, when I was more tired than usual.
    1
  116. I’d like to make pins like those…
    1
  117. Easy to just use a paintbrush with oil, then, to keep the weapon running?
    1
  118. “Mombasa, the Isle of War…”
    1
  119.  @pouyan225  an easier way to stretch wood supplies, especially when decent wood is “scarce” and you need to make real numbers. In fiction, many rifle stocks are of laminated Blackwood (looks like black walnut, only darker - strong, heavy stuff) cured under heat and pressure. The rifles themselves are glass-bedded….
    1
  120. Czech sewing machine.
    1
  121. I wonder if that was the irritating noise I recall?
    1
  122.  @vincentkermorgant  was there an oil vial?
    1
  123. Sa =~ Samopal? (Spoken of in the Vid, after I wrote the first line.)
    1
  124.  @r0-satheclanker917 while that might be true in some parts, it’s not at all rare for some Crims to not get the message - and they get inside. Now getting the PO on site tends to take a while, if they bother coming for non 1%ers - so you might well be on your own. It’s generally a good idea to be prepared for such eventualities.
    1
  125. Seed Capital ~ Inducement.
    1
  126. “… Jin-Roh, the Wolf Brigade … “
    1
  127. France still does conscription - or do they?
    1
  128. Looks at the wood stock, thinks, “maybe I can make something like that.”
    1
  129. “It’s a banger. It goes bang - every single time.”
    1
  130. Yes, about that spring plug. I recall being konged by it while cleaning a S.A. 45. Drew blood on my forehead.
    1
  131. “…has a trouble switch ….”
    1
  132. Yes, Sam’s Belt-Fed Revolver Cannons…
    1
  133. “Hand me that typewriter….”
    1
  134. Military Truck driver’s weapon?
    1
  135. “Why, issue it to those of your people who want - or need - one.”
    1
  136. Rapid Bruise-Inducer! (The M1 just took longer to do it. The bruises took well over a week to go away after the DCM match!)
    1
  137. At least it did not “Kong” him in the head. Was reassembling an S.A. 1911 after cleaning & oiling same and the little button-faced tube (? It was thirty+ years ago) that holds the barrel bushing in place slipped out and smacked me good. Then I had to go find it….
    1
  138. Yup, that is the dinner-plate!
    1
  139. They were desperate then…
    1
  140. Huge Muzzle Flash.
    1
  141. “Whitey O’thrait” - in the book “Tom Paine Maru” - was quite good with Dardicks.
    1
  142. Churchill had one, too.
    1
  143. I am hearing Jimi singing, just looking at that thing.
    1
  144. Cleaning the recoil spring assembly by “dousing” it with a mixture of kerosene and a light oil???
    1
  145. wowser!
    1
  146. A Špagin that likes “Kim-Chee?”
    1
  147. “… superannuated ammunition…” Recall my first DCM match, using a loaned M1 Garand. Both rifle and its ammunition were such that I called them superannuated - and about halfway through the match, I was hoping the remaining ammunition would be defective - as in I was getting sore in a great hurry. The bruises remained for well over a week!
    1
  148. Yes, these are Roers - four-to-the-pound elephant guns - or, if you don’t have elephants, then Big, Mean Elk…
    1
  149. “Run the trench” section for this?
    1
  150. Why am I seeing a special, high-torque driver-drill when looking at this?
    1
  151. From (original) fiction: “Sounds like...” I paused, then turned to Karl, who was shaking. He'd opened one of the bags of non-linked ammunition, then read from an ancient-looking and somewhat greasy scrap of wax-coated paper, “they called this thing a pig, I think.” He looked at me, then said, “only your handwriting is worse than this here.” “Always hungry for more ammunition,” I said, “hence its 'name'.” I then asked a question. “What was the, uh, correct designation for these things?” “Type 60-B,” said the soft voice, “and they got many of their ideas from elsewhere for both that 'name' and that weapon's parts. Rachel wrote that label on that scrap of paper as her idea of a joke, for she'd heard a lot of people – both witches in the Abbey, and the other side's soldiers on that radio – calling these guns swine.”
    1
  152. The B.A.R. was the inspiration for the (fictional) Rat-Gun - which was intended for dealing with Witch-Rats - which can get up to 150 kilograms in weight, and are more dangerous than African Lions.
    1
  153. The heft of these things probably helps some. I got a chance to hold one briefly at a gun show 30+ years ago. They are NOT light.
    1
  154. Regarding the Rakija - they don’t have NyQuil there, as far as I know - so they must “make do.” (Stuff probably works better, anyway.)
    1
  155. Redundant systems, hence greater reliability?
    1
  156.  @PERUN319 ”…in case the Russkij assay trouble..???”
    1
  157. Are those dust-covers hard to remove? (Never cleaned an AK. Only fired one once circa 1987. Felt awful - buttstock was about three inches too short, and it made this awful teeth-clenching Graunch noise when the action cycled. My attitude then was “Never Again.” Am willing to give one a second try, if I get the chance.)
    1
  158. “Plop! Plop!”
    1
  159. Supposedly, these were called “the Rusting Gun…”
    1
  160. “…the Reach of the Python…”
    1
  161.  @MoldyStir-Fry  flings as bad as an SKS…
    1
  162. “… Krupp-Maxim…?”
    1
  163. Looks like the “lower” was sand cast.
    1
  164. Hence the name, “trouble switch?”
    1
  165. That’s a lot of plastic?
    1
  166. “M3 grease applicator…”
    1
  167. Wonders aloud, “that clothing inspires me regarding fiction-writing, and I wonder where I can get pictures of it - if not reproduction copies?
    1
  168. Done up like a Thud-Kyboorg?
    1
  169. Do these come with Onions? (“Song of the Onion…”)
    1
  170. Blish supposedly gives delayed blowback…?
    1
  171. Uh, ~ 2750 or so, with a 147 grain projectile.
    1
  172. Flap-type padded holster, of Cordura-lined leather? (Keeps mud, etc. from getting to it, I think.)
    1
  173. Yes, I know. My first pistol was one of these, and I was working on restoring it when “life” intervened…
    1
  174. “Because I expect to encounter two-ton psychopathic swine,” he said.
    1
  175. Gives a big bruise if you put a few clips through an M1. The bruises took over a week to go away. The soreness took a couple of days.
    1
  176. Yes? It gives me ideas as to what “Gorgonzola’s Paperweight” looks like. There are previous drafts that speak of him and his “piece” - though it uses caseless ammunition.
    1
  177. More Click-Hiss-Bang ammunition?
    1
  178. Adds just a small amount of work once the diameter is determined for knurling, and helps the end-user.
    1
  179. That’s a balloon-head case in there, or what’s left of one…
    1
  180. Looks a little like that of a Bisley?
    1
  181. Jinn-Roh?
    1
  182. Could this be made in a (lengthened) 9mm???
    1
  183. The fictional Drip-Rifle is based on this.
    1
  184.  @AdamantLightLP that part, yes. There were a number of others as well. Some other parts, not so much….
    1
  185. “…The advent of the hand-howitzer.”
    1
  186. Was cleaning one of these (civilian purchased in the early nineties) and that spring plug got loose during reassembly and KONG’D me in the head. It took a while to find it, and it drew blood…
    1
  187. Heavier than they seem to be - Špagins in general. (Briefly held one many years ago.)
    1
  188. 1988, if I recall - 200$, but it was in a well-worn shape. Not much finish left. Was applying TIG to the worn places which had a lot of pitting…
    1
  189.  @MrKronikDeception yes, 19mm.
    1
  190. So I’m not crazy about My difficulties with these things? As in I liked the size and heft of (the Springfield Armory) pistol I bought many years ago, but had issues with the “kick” and the “roar?”
    1
  191. Parts made on “Swiss-style” screw machines…
    1
  192. Noticing the spot-welds, here. Getting ideas for things in general.
    1
  193. This was done in Korea, also. Was told by someone who was in both WW2 and Korea that he used one that way - fired, and he’d take up binoculars and watch the impact. Seems he fired it single shot. Note that I was told this nearly 40 years ago, circa 1985 or so.
    1
  194. “…the scary setting…” (from fiction.)
    1
  195. Špagins (PPŠ-41) are faster, supposedly.
    1
  196. Would Blue Dot be a bit slow-burning for this? Perhaps Unique? (First Powder I ever bought, decades ago.)
    1
  197. Wonders aloud, “could this rifle/action be made today?”
    1
  198. Gorgonzola’s “paperweight” looks like a Mac-10. (From fiction) It’s also a lot more complex on the inside and uses caseless ammunition…

  199.  @unocoltrane2804 carry a spare pin or three, along with other easily-lost parts in the field?? (Or would that level of disassembly be done in the field? Was not able to pass the military physical due to being born deaf on one side, so I don’t know how things are done in that milieu. Had to teach myself how to look after that kind of weapon when I got one 30+ years ago.)
    1
  200. I think one of these (type 56), back around 1987 or so, that totally put me off of them. The stock was way too short, and the “graunch” noise it made when the action cycled got under my skin bad.
    1
  201. “Fun switch,” he says. Try more like “engage switch for bad trouble.”
    1
  202. Hence several countries calling their AKS machine pistols (e.g. East Germany) and sub machine guns?
    1
  203. Wonders aloud, “did he ever get Konged in the forehead with the recoil spring plug from a 1911? While reassembling the thing after cleaning it?” The checkering on that thing drew blood….
    1
  204. Pulls out a drum… Špagin Vibes….
    1
  205. “…they must have wanted it to work as well as possible…” (joke.)
    1
  206. A bit like an old Špagin for rate-of-fire?
    1
  207.  @BerndFelsche does one “soak” the hot barrels in something like a light oil or similar (if it’s available? Probably not terribly likely outside of a prepared position.)
    1
  208. Did this have a “paint” finish?
    1
  209. “A dank Tarn” - “the Fall of the House of Usher.”
    1
  210. This type of gun inspired some fictional riot guns…. Even to the caliber…
    1
  211. Clanky-Sounding??
    1
  212. The fibrous material looks like canvas or linen Micarta.
    1
  213. Aka, “you can get so simple that it works less well..?”
    1
  214. Makes H. Rider Haggard’s “double-eight breech-loading elephant guns” (“king Solomon’s Mines”) seem puny.
    1
  215. Silliest pistol ever. The sound while firing is laughable!
    1
  216. I live about a mile west of the statue.
    1
  217. Ian would do well in the first kingdom house proper against witches with his gunto.
    1
  218. The (fictional) Rat-Gun is loosely based on this weapon.
    1
  219. “Walking tall, machine gun man…”
    1
  220. Is that gun smoking a bit after 60 rounds??
    1
  221. It’s Kipling time…! Specifically, “the young British Soldier.” One verse specifically mentions THESE.
    1
  222. “…a young cannon…”
    1
  223. At 1:27 - “Pals Battalions.”
    1
  224. Re the Unertl - mentioned in the book “dead center,” by Ed Kugler. (Still in use in Vietnam.)
    1
  225. “Click-hiss-B’hang!?”
    1
  226. “He must have met Zed - either Zed, or his supplier…”
    1
  227. A padded cloth pouch with a zipper and a strap? (I could make such).
    1
  228. “The bricks and Mortar are closing in…”
    1
  229. 3:45 - roll-pins in use. (Good that someone who knows what they’re doing shows they’re using them. Used roll-pins the bike-trailer axle to keep the stubs in the tube.)
    1
  230. MG-42 Broom.
    1
  231. Jukikanju…
    1
  232. Might be what they had to make it with, too - big presses for the Shpagin, lathes and mills for this?
    1
  233. Yes, for those really unpleasant venomous fanged deer with rattlesnake tails. Note: these tend to be a bit larger than the usual deer - almost as big as a smaller species of Elk - and they’re really aggressive, too.
    1
  234. Recall reading about these in a gun book about 30 years ago…
    1
  235. “Its bark is awful, but the bite is worse. Much worse!”
    1
  236. This type of weapon inspired the fictional hand-howitzer pistol - which has a similar shape, but is larger - and is vastly more powerful.
    1
  237. “Al-Ni-Bz” - Aluminum Nickel Bronze, fairly high tensile strength - something like 80,000 psi tensile.
    1
  238. “Strangest Sewing Machine I ever did see…” Cussing in muffled Japanese, then, “you have not yet seen the Juki, have you? Yes, the Jukikanju, the type 92 heavy Sewing Machine..,”
    1
  239. Finish on that Banger? Looks awful…
    1
  240. On the kibbutz…. These were - probably - general issue if one could expect “trouble….”
    1
  241. “You hard enough to eat lead, wretch?” I said in a voice as cold and dry as a glacier. “Now let's have your real price, and no lies.” The silence was deafening, for this man was the leader; the leader of this batch of thugs, and indeed, the leader of lies and treachery for the whole town. More, while he was not a supplicant, that was but a matter of time and opportunity, if I went by the tattoo I had seen; and from there, a question of whose finger-bones and how he would get them on the way to becoming a black-dressed coach-riding witch. “Do I need to use a dragoon to get you to speak when I ask you a question?” I whispered. Note that fictional pistol in question borrows its name and functional qualities - a large caliber revolver - from these.
    1
  242. Or, Fully-Autonomous Trash Bins… (Which, while fictional, are not much easier to deal with compared to WW1 tanks)
    1
  243. “They wanted it to work no matter what…”
    1
  244. Issue this to mil-truckers?
    1
  245. “…differential equations - mass-spring-damper stuff….”
    1
  246. Have wondered how to (roughly) duplicate this stuff.
    1
  247. “…Juki Sewing Machines???”
    1
  248. Since these are used in Ukraine, that first portion (sitting in the truck) might be called “the Ukrainska Drill?”
    1
  249. Krag was a character in David Lindsay’s “A Voyage to Arcturus.”
    1
  250. Can you get “a burst of seven” readily?
    1
  251. The (fictional) Dragoon revolver was inspired by weapons like this one.
    1
  252. Lots of nice round-headed rivets in that Schlitten mount….
    1
  253. Perhaps in 32 acp?
    1
  254. “Just th’ thing f’ house-cleaning.” (fiction)
    1
  255. It’s a real handful to hang onto, too! Even handloading with 185 grain hard-cast lead bullets and lighter (starting loads in the manual. I think it was the Lyman one, which was the first such manual I bought back in the late eighties) made the thing marginally manageable. Had I the funds then, I would have tried to get the thing converted to 9mm - or bought one in that caliber - as it wasn’t much fun to shoot when firing it at the range gives you a bad flinch!
    1
  256. “…very reliable design…” (speaking of the M1.) Yes, it worked very single time at the match. Both rifle and ammunition did so - and both were older than myself at the time, 30+ years ago! The bruises took well over a week to fade. Ouch!
    1
  257. Sand-cast “receiver…”
    1

  259. “The advent of the (real life) hand-howitzer…”

  260. Gorgonzola (fictional thug) has a weapon that looks a bit like this. Little Cheaser - his boss - refers to Gorgonzola’s weapon as a “paperweight.”
    1
  261.  @USS_Grey_Ghost  a Major Street in Portland is named Burnside.
    1
  262. It looks a lot like a really big Nail! (Use a 3/8 inch round rod of 1075 steel, machine it, then heat-treat the “poker.”
    1
  263. Wouldn’t it be in Hangul script?
    1
  264. Karamojo Bell’s pistol?
    1
  265. Rimless 7-30 for rifle ammunition?
    1
  266. “This is a Stinker…” he said. “It’s a portable wall of hot lead.”
    1
  267. Did they do the “red-tinted shellac finish” during ww2?
    1
  268. Sampo (sp?) - the Kallevalla magic mill?
    1
  269. Is that why C.L.P. was developed? Makes it easier to clean and lubricate in a bad environment???
    1

    1

    1
  276. That hat looks like the real deal, too.
    1
  277. “Easy,” said Boulanger. “I have a LOT of onions and cooking oil…”
    1
  278. As in the fictional “rat-poison pistol muffler?”
    1
  279. He puts the muffler on, late in the vid. (Wonders aloud, “is that one marked as being a rat poison muffler?”)
    1
  280. Question: did these things like plenty of lubricant, e.g. LSA oil?
    1
  281. Zed - the mutant (the movie Zardoz) - approves of using these…
    1
  282. Winchester Špagins?
    1
  283. .30 Mauser… Fireballs at the muzzle the size of cantaloupes with recent production Fiochi ammunition….
    1
  284. “Allan Quatermain” hat…
    1
  285. “…house-cleaning tools…”
    1
  286. Looks like a lathe-and-mill version of the PPŠ. Less stamped, (less huge punch-press action), more machined.
    1
  287. Must have been a real-life Iron Pig!
    1
  288. “The Black Mountain…”
    1
  289. From the movie, “Come and See.”
