Name that gun!

[Prince Romeo]

One for the guys.

shot gun / carpenters square

 

[Prince Romeo]

Nope

 

[Saytur]

No idea ... what's this?

That looks like a Sten gun to me

That's the old Mauser "Broom Handle" in its wooden stock/holster.

Looks like a butt getting fucked by a pistol.

Re: No idea ... what's this?

Broomhandle Mauser inside it's carrying stock.

The pic of the first gun isn't large enough to get details, but it looks like a standalone grenade launcher of some sort (M79?). I am not that much into such "accessories", so I can't indentify it exactly. I bet Lost Cause could since he actually used them.

 

[Ishmael]

Here's one for you.

 

[Prince Romeo]

You're still cold. Where's Uncle Bill and Bob_bytchin when you need them?

 

[Shy Tall Guy]

Here's one for you.

Guys, if you are going to post pics of guns and ask for their IDs, then rename the files.

Ish that is a LeMat revolver. As I recall they came out during or somewhat after the Civil War (? not sure about that), and they fired not only handgun rounds but also some kind of shot charge? I would have to go look it up.

PR, if I am cold then would please provide a better picture - that one is awfully small and I just can't get enough detail from it. It still looks like a grenade launcher of some sort (could be tear gas or bean bag too - very similar guns) - but without a better photo I can't tell.

I will post some good ones once we get this first one settled.

#1

1) 1 point if you name the country of origin.

2) 2 points if you correctly name the action this is based on.

3) 10 points if you correctly name the firearm in this photo.

Hint, if you don't get #1 correctly you won't get the other two.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Did not look to see if anyone else got it, but....

It's a Walther P-38 within it's own attachable stock - in 9mm Luger of course.

Probably a late 30's model.

 

[Shy Tall Guy]

#2

This may seem like an easy one but this is not quite what it seems.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Looks Czech..... Hungarian?

Austrian maybe.

An FN? Looks .380 but probably is 9mm also. Don't think you'd need a stock for a .380.

Maybe a CZ?

Late 40's, early 50's?

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

I guess it could even be......

another Walther of lesser known design.

There were so many manufacturers' born out of WWII.

Millions and millions of weapons from all over Europe - it's hard to keep track of them all.

I've got this littel Belgium pistol - forget it's name - I've searched and searched and never found any reference to it. Oh! A Melior!

Still shoots - super clean (meaning non-traceable) perfect hit weapon. For somebody.

Not me of course.

 

[Prince Romeo]

Ok, here's a hint on my original - WWII carbine.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

What hint?

By fairly strick definition a 'carbine' in any 'rifle like, longer than a pistol but still utilizing a standard 'pistol round,' weapon.

During WWII there were hundreds, maybe even more, of either pistols modified with stocks - or fully designed, (usually for close quarters battle, like M1 .30 Cal carbines desined for tunnel/trench work in the Pacific) Carbines utilizing pistol cartridges.

So, what kind of hint is that?

 

[Shy Tall Guy]

Ok, here's a hint on my original - WWII carbine.

Okay, I was thinking it could also be something like a STEN gun, but I just can't see enough detail. Do a web search on it to find a larger pic.

Here is my third and final one for now:

#3

This should be an easy one for military rifle buffs, but for those that aren't, I will give you some clues:

1) It was designed and developed by the same guy who designed and developed the M16 (or at least the guy everybody gives credit to).

2) It was the favored rifle of Special Forces in Vietnam.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Nothing I see her is close to a Sten.

Terrible thing a Sten.

Nearly a zip-gun.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

A Stoner.

You boner.

 

[Shy Tall Guy]

Re: I guess it could even be......

another Walther of lesser known design.

First, the first pistol in the wooden stock was not a Walther but a Broomhandle Mauser as both I and Ish correctly surmised.

The pistol I displayed with shoulder stock was a Soviet experimental full auto pistol, developed in 1950.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yeah but are you sure it was made in Russia?

Probably is Czech.

 

[Shy Tall Guy]

Re: A Stoner.

You boner.

Yes, but which one? Stoner made dozens of rifles before he died.

 

[Jimi]

Silenced?

Ok, here's a hint on my original - WWII carbine.

Sterling 9mm Parabellum - made by R.O.F. Enfield - also known as Patchett?

Definitely a Brit weapon, though.
