I was looking everywhere for a decent photo of the Gyrojet 'til you mentioned it. Now I'm stumped

Anyone feel free to put up a question.

 

[The Cooler King]

I got one here if you fellas don't mind.

Is that the single-shot Liberator they dropped over France during WW2?

 

[Bugfatty]

Liberator pistol.

A design meant to be airdropped on occupied areas during WWII to aid the resistance.

Over to you. :thumb:

They were quicker to make and package then they were to shot and chamber a new round. I've shot one, they pinch the web of the skin.

Edited for imagery.

What is this firearm?

No, it is not a standard 1911.

 

[5.56X45mm]

There is no photo.

 

[senojekips]

It's an invisible 1911.

Specially developed for undercover work.

 

[major liability]

OK, I hosted the image myself. Can you see it now?

 

[5.56X45mm]

Hmmm.... That design is a little different then the regular 1911. Could it be a foriegn copy. Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Norway, and a bunch more of different countries made them.

From the caliber marking in milimeters instead of inches. I'd have to say that it's a Norwegian Model 1914.

 

[major liability]

Well, one of the countries you named is correct, but it's not Norweigen.

 

[Bugfatty]

It can only be a Mexican Obregon. The slide has a pretty distinct bulge due to the rotating barrel feature IIRC.

 

[5.56X45mm]

Do'h! You're right, I was looking more at the markings than the design itself. It's the Mexican copy.

 

[Bugfatty]

Plus it says "OBREGON" right there on the slide.

Congratualations, your turn. I'll have to pick something harder next time.

 

[Bugfatty]

Ok. No more mister nice guy. Hopefully this will be hard one.

What AK model is this?

 

[Maytime]

Gosh I think I've seen it before, looks like a cross between an AK and an FN/FAL for some reason, except it appears to take 5.56 mags. Gah!

 

[5.56X45mm]

Looks like something the Finns put together. It's has to be a Valmet M76 or M78. I'm not sure on the model but the maker appears to be a Valmet of Finland. (But then again I could be wrong because there are millions of AKs out there in the world.)

 

[Bugfatty]

Its not a Valmet.
