Oh wow. No words can truly express my sympathy for the loss of your Russian Mosin Nagant Model 91 bolt action rifle.

It appears that a Mosin Nagant had drunk orgy sex with an AR15, a Ruger 10/22, and a can of black rattle can paint. I like the use of the Hogue 1911 grip. It looks functional mounted on the side of the stock. Oh wait. There is a laser under that duct tape! LOL.

That can't be real. I assume that is a magazine inserted in the back, like a common bullpup configuration.

The bolt has to cycle behind the magazine to eject and pick ip the next round. The bolt will compress the buffer/ spring that sits behind it.

Looking at that picture, I can't see how it's possible to have both of those features. There is just no room!

The Steyr ACR was a prototype flechette-firing assault rifle built for the US Army's Advanced Combat Rifle program of 1989/90. Although the Steyr design proved effective, as did most of the weapons submitted, the entire ACR program ended with none of the entrants achieving performance 100% better than the M16A2, the baseline for a successful ACR weapon

The Steyr ACR has some superficial resemblance to the Steyr AUG, although it is rounder and the barrel is covered for almost its entire length, as opposed to the AUG where much of the barrel was exposed. Like the AUG the ACR is a bullpup design with the 24-round magazine located quite close to the buttstock of the gun. The stock was "split" from the magazine forward to a location just below the sights to open for cleaning. An optical sight was included as a standard feature.

The Steyr employed a unique system to cycle through ammunition: instead of driving rounds forward into the chamber and being held in place by a locking bolt, the entire chamber traveled vertically the width of the round. After firing the gases "blew" the chamber vertically downward where a new round was forced into the chamber from the rear, forcing the old round out an ejection port ahead of the magazine. Springs then raised the chamber back into position where it was locked into a fixed block. The firing pin was fixed above the chamber, entering through a small hole and striking the ring of primer to fire. The chamber was normally held in the "down" position, the trigger releasing it to allow the springs to drive it upward and fire.

The Steyr ACR's rounds consist of a carbon steel flechette for a projectile that used a four-part spindle sabot packaged in a telescoped arrangement with propellant packed around the projectile. The case of the ammunition was made of a light weight translucent plastic instead of conventional brass making the rounds weigh less than half the weight of standard 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition.

Ok. I stand corrected. This thing is pretty bad ass! But since it fires a dart... it's not a gun. Ok, it's a gun. Dang it!

That's a Franchi SPAS-12. That hook on the stock allows the stock to be "hooked" around the arm of the shooter, support the weight of the shotgun, so it can be fired one handed.





It's both a semi-auto and pump action. It only came in 12ga. This was used by the Italian Army, but saw much more action in Jurassic Park, Terminator, and other movies. For a short time, it was in just about every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.




Only a small percentage of the manufactured guns made it to the US, due primarily to the assault weapons ban of 1994 "The Brady Bill".

Intratec, now a defunct firearm manufacture, was based in Miami, FL. They build guns that originated from their Swedish parent company. Their most famous gun with the TEC-9. In 2001, the company shut it's doors. Rumor has it that ATF kinda forced their hands. The reason was that the TEC-9 was so EASILY convertible to a full auto sub-machine gun pistol. This came when the Brady campaign was also touting the Brady Bill, which led to the national "assault weapons ban" of 1994.




The TEC-22 (pictured below) was actually a fun little piece. It accepted standard Ruger 10/22 magazines and came with an optional threaded barrel. For a crapper gun, it was quite functional (jams twice per magazine). Not very accurate, but functional. Cleaning was a real pain in the ass, too.

Several manufactures tried to revive these models, but eventually all of them closed their doors. Ok.. they sucked. They sucked really bad. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

On 9/8/13 I posted this gun. This is the FNS FS2000 CQB. This is equipped with the optional built-in optic and grenade launcher.

It's on my bucket list. :)

This is the AWC G2 bullpup sniper rifle.

It's a joint venture between AWC and McMillian Bros (both located right here in Phoenix), to develop a bullpup rifle that was capable of producing 1MOA accuracy. Several were produced. I don't know of the exact number. They were tested and proved to be accurate. I don't see that they are still being produced, but I am not sure. This is one of those rifles that truly became a "magic gun" in modern warfare. They silently were dispersed and went off their secret ways.

Today, there are others that have made similar guns. Kel-Tec introduced a similar version last year called the RFB.

The Galil series rifle was created by Israel Military Industries in the early 1970's. It was chambered in 7.62 NATO.

In 1994 the company released the MAR (Micro Assault Rifle). The more common name for it is the Micro Galil. Also chambered in 7.62 NATO but it boasted a smaller size and reduced weight.

Later the 5.56mm NATO (as pictured above) was introduced and the popularity increased.

This one is heavily equipped with MAKO/Meprolight products.


The red dot scope is similar to the Trijicon Reflex. It's the MAKO/Meprolight M21 scope.

The handguard is also by them.

The bipod is an older verion of the Command arms polymer bipod.

Aw, man! I have never seen this gun in person! It's the Street Sweeper model "LHC" for the ladies called the "Ladies Home Companion". Instead of 12ga it held 12 rounds of 45-70, 45 Long Colt, or .410 shotshell. Kind of like the early version of the Taurus Judge.

The was made by the now defunct Sentinal Arms Corporation (which took over for Cobray when they fell into ATF troubles.

It's a Chiappa Rhino. The unique cylinder lever gave it away. Also the red indicator behind the rear sight was a dead giveaway.

I just spent 20 minutes writing up this gun. Then the forum froze up on me... so screw it. Watch the video. Enjoy.
