Had to go to the judges' panel on this one. It is indeed a GMG, but the particular configuration is the Automatic Lightweight Grenade Launcher system adopted by Her Majesty's forces. http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/De...fghanistan.htm |

Great thread!
Ok, not a weapon as such, more like an 'exotic round'. It's one crazy round, remember shooting these many moons ago, it would leave a long white flame outr the barrel. NOT very good carry rounds. Hoepoe |

Commonly known as THV's, most weapons would need the feeding ramp polished in order to feed them. The ones i had the oppurtunity of playing with were for various handgun calibers and were only available for self-loading, ie. one could only buy the head. The feller that used to load would load 'hot' powder in the shell and then fill the hollow base of the THV head with powder. As i said, a looong white flame would trail the round when shot. These reach unbelievable speeds, but due to their weight (very light) slow down rapidly. They have been know to perive armour but their trademark is the vacuum created by the velocity and hollow base. I have only ever shot paper with these but believe "instant jello" is applicable when shooting flesh. Regardless, i am much more secure with good 'ole factory loaded rounds for carry. Hoepoe |

Thanks Hoepoe |
That Daewoo's flash hider looks very familiar. Coud it be a direct copy of the old XM177E1/2"s? Looks like it has one exception though, the very front of it is narrower than the rest of the body indicating to me at least, a possible bayonet position.
|
hoepoe,
would that be a "Webley & Scott Mk VI 0.455in" Revolver? Also, that is a "Mechem BXP 9mm", right? |

OK, not really a weapon per se, but can anyone identify these? (Cause I can't)
|
Air.177,
those are German (East or West, I cannot remember)smoke grenades in white colored smoke. Can't remember the designation though. Interested in a trade?:) |
Air.,177,
That wouldn't be a an old "singlepoint" or an O.E.G. (early model)? |

So it would seem my dear MAB, So it would seem. I should've known you'd get it;) though I am suprised you recognized it in a proper mount and not hose-clamped to a carry handle |

Air.177,
it helps to have a couple of "Pictorial Histories" laying around.:) |
hoepoe,
first one appears to be a South African "Striker", semi-automatic, 12-gauge. I have a question about the second one. Is it a 12-gauge, double-barrel, pump action? |

On #2: Type: pump-action ("forward-back" handguard movement instead of classic "back-forward", moving barrel) Gauge: 12 ( 2 3/4" - 70 mm chamber) Length: 690 mm Barrel length: 570 mm. Weight: 3.9 kg empty Feed: dual over-the-barrel tube magazine, 6 + 6 rounds capacity |

The US "Streetsweeper" and all other high capacity box/rotary mag fed shotguns were declared,"Destructive Devices" same as hand grenades, Grenade launchers, Recoilless rifles, German '88's, etc. by the 94 crime bill I believe. Now all of those type weapons are more severely restricted and require registration and supplemental taxation just like machineguns do in this country. Land of the Free and all that. Now, I believe #2 is called a "Neostead" it is also South African in origin and as you mentioned, works much like a conventional pump shotgun, only backwards. Good stuff, Keep 'em coming |

I saw this on Weapons of the day. Great job guys.
Does anyone know where I can find one of these FULL RAILS ? That is, short of going to S. Korea. Thanks, for any help. |
