  1. “Revolver-Cannons. Belt-Fed Revolver-Cannons.” Sam had a pair of these, and he was fond of warming them up…

  2. Probably want a slower shotgun powder, e.g. “Blue Dot” or slower.

  3. “Drag-you-OFF-enuff…” (joke)

  4. “…ear-cleaning distance, eh?”

  5. Makes me want to grab mine!

  6. Desperation Measures….

  7. Perhaps they have trouble with rodents in the (military) henhouses, and do not wish to disturb the laying hens?

  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…

  9. “…used to bind spirits to articles….”

  10.  @brahtrumpwonbigly7309  I meant “that noise makes me want to grab my teeth!”

  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.

  12. Those things are heavier than you might think, too. I recall holding one, briefly, at a gun show about thirty years ago.

  13. Looks like they wanted it to work really good….

  14. One Tester compared these pistols to “a young cannon.”

  15. Wish I could have gone, but I had no way to get there then.

  16. Yes, it puts a STOP to him.

  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.

  18. Looks more like someone was using a big nasty file that needed carding!

  19.  @tonguepunchman1528 they did develop the MP18, though…

  20. Effective Muffler, no? At least, now I have a much better idea of what some (fictional) pistols look like on “The Island.”

  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.

  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…

  23. Have had that problem since birth, due to being born with just one ear.

  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…

  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.

  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?

  27. “Leaden Peas…” No, can’t eat them in Erbsensuppe!

  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.

  29. The bullpup version sounds useful for housecleaning.

  30. “Boom! Shellac-Lakh! Boom!”

  31. The m16 was designed with that in mind - distributed production (learned from WW2 in Germany), subcontracting, etc.

  32. “…must have gotten into some Onions. Now - were those onions cooked in Oil, as per “Song of the Onion?”

  33. Shows Fiochi ammunition behind him. It gave huge brilliant white fireballs in 7.63 Mauser!

  34. Is it just me, or does the workmanship on this example seem better than the rule?

  35. For sorta-close work? Inside of 200 meters???

  36.  @ftdefiance1  they were $400+ 30 years ago when I bought mine. Wish I still had it.

  37. @UCSb3OcVjvksszDIszkhTgHQ gunmetal, perhaps - 88% Cu, 8% Sn, 4% Zn? (British Recipe, though I would have added 1% Pb. Easier to cast and machine.)

  38. “… which wear out in a big hurry and are terrible for accuracy….”

  39. Jerry spoke fondly of the one he was issued circa 1970 or so.

  40.  @DustyGamma yes, Agkistrodon Piscivorus. (hope I spelled that right.)

  41. Hall-Scott, 1091 cubic inches of Gas 6-cylinder inline…

  42.  @alancranford3398 thanks for the information about “the basic load”.

  43. Muzzle flash that resembles that of a type 60-b!

  44. “…pokers, Hup!”

  45.  @george2113 poorly laid up in the Cosmic/Cosmoline?

  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.)

  47. They’re awesome pistols. Wish I still had mine.

  48. Not-elusive, fictional Elk. This is the usual weapon - a four-bore - for animals that are as bad for trouble as Cape buffalo.

  49. Copied over from the B.A.R. ? (Which also had twenty-round mags, if memory serves.)

  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!
