Random Gun Photo of the Day (and then Jimmy has to guess what it is)
#121
This rifle is the FHN FS2000. It's a semi-auto rifle that takes AR-15 magazines. It's in a bullpup design and by first glance, it looks bulky and heavy. Quite the opposite! It's rather light (less than an AR-M4, and feels pretty damn good! The real elegance comes with their ejection design. The rounds don't fly out the side like an AR. The spent brass is pushed forward into an integrated channel on the right side of the gun and spills out in front of you.

Recently, KelTec RFB designed their new .308 rifle to do the same.

Beyond that, this rifle looks to be pretty factory. The color is a bit brighter than I would expect. Their web site shows Black and Olive Drab. This is much brighter.

It's also on my bucket list...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!!!! It's driving me crazy, too! It looks like an L.A.R. Grizzly single shot 50 BMG, with some heavy photoshop work. The muzzle break is ALL wrong. The holes on the receiver and scope base is all wrong, too. Geez! I'm all frustrated! What is it?

I'm stumped....

Yeah it looks as though it would hurt to shoot.

Now, this one was quite a nice build. An overkill, but it sure does look sweet!

This is a custom built AR-15. It was a raffle gun for a local Las Vegas firearm forum to benefit the Las Vegas Veteran's Memorial. There is a massive list of parts and someone had already wrote up a parts/price breakdown sheet on it. Nice find, Micheal.

This is the new HK MP7. It's a PDW (personal defense weapon) designed to replace the older MP5 and MP5k, by making it faster, stronger, and lighter.

It's chambered in 4.6x30mm. Never heard of it? Don't worry. Most westerners have never heard of it, either. It's a German-only caliber. Although recognized by NATO, no other arms company has adopted it. It competes with the 5.7x28 used by FN, but offers a faster and smaller bullet.

The suppressor is original HK. Sights is Aimpoint. Laser and flashlight is probably Surefire. GPS on the side is a Garmin (Actually, I don't know what it is. Guarantee it's not freakin TomTom). The GPS mount is about as advanced as Geoff's GPS mount.



It's NOT on my must have list... as I would die trying to find ammo to feed this bad boy.

That's rare. It's a White Elephant! No.. more rare. A Unicorn! No... wait. Even more rare. A Virgin at ASU! LOL. Ok.. It's a William Tranter Percussion Revolver carbine. Built sometime in the mid-1850s.

It's VERY rare. I don't know how YOU stumbled into this on the WWW. There is only 2, maybe 3 known in existence and less than 15 "actual" pictures of it on the ENTIRE internet! How the heck did you run into this???

The only reason I know of this carbine is the trigger protector. It's VERY unique in design. I've seen it in on an internet search when I was researching the Taurus/Rossi Circuit Judge 45/410. Even still, I had to rummage through the WWW to find references to this firearm.




Bravo, Chris!

You got me on this one. At first, it looked like the 1919 that Will Hayden redid for some swat cop for his machine gun competition.



Obviously, this is not that. The bipod makes me think it's russian. The grip REALLY looks like it belongs on an AK of sorts. The carry handle resembles the 1919. The picture is kinda zoomed in too tight so I can't really make out the bore size. It looks big, though. Yet, it has a red dot scope?!? Some kind of Russian big bore, compact anti-tank weapon?

I really don't know YOU GOT ME! Good job!

Hah even your guess was still pretty close to what it is.

OK, this ugly mug is the 6P62. It is a Russian anti-materiel rifle that is fully automatic. The rifle is chambered in the 12.7x108mm cartridge, which is pretty similar, but more powerful than the US .50 BMG (12.7x99mm). I think the Russians caught whatever disease the Germans had that made them always build bigger and more ridiculous guns. This thing is a monster. It reportedly weighs close to 40 pounds when loaded with 14 rounds of 12.7mm, and I would guess that the muzzle brake weighs at least 3 pounds. The brake might also function a little like a suppressor, probably making this weapon about as quiet as the average 500 pound bomb. It has a listed range of 1000 meters or more and can reportedly pierce 20mm of steel at 100 meters. Of course a full auto function on a weapon like this is just silly, even if it is firing at the reduced rate of about 400--500 rounds per minute, which is slower than most automatic weapons I can think of.

The 6P62 was never put into full production, likely because someone sobered up. While it could be used in a fashion like the Barrett Light 50 and other big bore anti-materiel rifles, I have my doubts that it can perform as well. It has a fairly short barrel and I can't see that it is fluted to give it strength without undue weight. At the least I imagine the recoil is well, sharp. The gentleman firing it offhand above (why?) likely had some rotator cuff surgery and called it a day. Interestingly, both photos that can be found show it without a telescopic sight, which one would need to fire at anything smaller than a barn at the intended ranges. This might be because its recoil force would tear a scope meant for .30 caliber rifles to hell and back.

One possible use is for the weapon to be used at road blocks and from fortified positions to get the most use of a weapon with long range and the power to punch through light armor and cover, but heavy machine guns and grenade launchers are probably better suited to that role. While the 6P62 will likely never be seen anywhere but the Internet, it may have a descendant in the form of the KPB-12.7 rifle, for which there is even less information than the 6P62. If anybody knows more about either of these weapons, or please god, has video of some unfortunate soul firing one, please let me know. Also, I will use this as my standard long gun when I finally finish that Power Armor I am working on in the basement.
So get ready.

Ah... the evolution of the "revolution" pistol.



First it was the FP-45 Liberator, manufactured by the USA during WWII. It was dropped out of airplanes by the thousands and intended for the "resistance" in German occupied territories. The Liberator was a crude mass-produced single shot handgun in 45acp. They were not meant to be a fighting weapon. It was meant to be to be used as a sneak n' steal insurgency weapon. You sneak up behind an enemy, shoot them, then steal their machine gun. :) This project was short lived. Of the 500,000 guns produced, less than 25,000 was actually put to use. The rest got shuffled around various military offices and eventually were destroyed. Most upper military thought it was a stupid idea. At a cost of



Fast forward to the Vietnam War. This little pistol is the new and improved version called "The Deer Gun". it was designed by the CIA and, just like during WWII, these were dropped into the jungles of Vietnam to support the South Vietnamese guerrillas during the conflict. The Vietnam war was thought to be a war of stealth, spies, and jabs. It turned into full out battle and these guns were deemed useless for the intended task. Only 1,000 were produced. None were distributed. So what was dropped into the jungles, if not these Deer Guns? Well, US Soldiers!

So what's the next revolution pistol to be made? Probably these 3D printed ones!
