In Indiana we call that collection a kid's starter kit.

Crazy Ozzies.

Considering the problems we are having with devotees of the Religion of Peace, or more accurately of "Infidels in Pieces," a major manufacturer should immediately develop a major caliber sidearm with a square bore. Firing 250 grain erupting half inch square soft lead projectiles at 1200 FPS.

To shatter the terrorists convictions anent the advantages of Peace instead of pieces, of course.

Besides, I don't have one.

I guess if I had those same guns I would be singing too.; 12:48 PM, December 31, 2009

Isn't an H&K, with its polygonal bore, sort of a Puckle descendant?

Having played with the one in England (With the curators, not as a burglar) I can attest that they seem fairly practical for their purpose- short term static defence of choke points like bridges and fortress hallways.; 1:58 PM, December 31, 2009

So The Museum of the Royal Danish Arsenal. Really nice building, beautiful collection, the pictures don;t even begin. Racks upon racks of rifles, armour, muzzle loading cannon, breech loaders, ...

Tam said...: For the buzzguns, yes. (Actually, that was probably Thailand.)

The pump-action "EBR" was one of those Remingtons that eats out of AR mags, and plenty legal in restrictive foreign locales like Australia or California.; 10:43 AM, January 01, 2010
