Thread: Bubba what have you done?

Why so many mosins? Stalin must be rolling in his grave.

My 44 carbine is a flashbomb at night what would that pistol be like!

I definitely don't believe in the second amendment (not the current interpretation anyway). I use and have used lots of guns specifically designed to kill people, and while they are fun to shoot, I see no need to own one. I have plenty of bolt guns and shotguns, each serves a purpose and I have no intention of applying for any endorsements.

I do not cast judgement on those who do. If you have a desire, coupled with a legitimate reason for sporting or pest control purposes and the correct endorsements then all power to you. I do not agree with the predominantly (although not exclusively) American mindset of "I need more, bigger and badder guns than everyone else to make sure I am safe from tyrant governments and gang-bangers".

Sorry I know no one cares what I think, and believe it or not I don't mean to start this thread in an inevitable downward spiral debate about MSSRs or the 2nd amendment. Just wanted to throw my 2c out there.

I'm hungry.

What? What second amendment? Whose killing people? Did you post this on the right thread?


Actually the Springfield 1903 at the start doesn't count. Springfields were made into sporting rifles for decades, and by many company's including Griffin and Howe and Rigby in England.

Because their the cheapest milsurp bolt rifle you can buy that's probably why :-)

NYET RIFLE IS FINE COMRADE

I don't think it really matter what a firearm was made to do, they are still all potentially lethal. The rest is all emotional stuff.

On the other hand I think some of these were made for "Killing The Owner". Or alt least give you a bath in burning powder.

I'm guessing the accuracy on that sawn off double barrel would be pretty incredible...

If the bad guy was at the wrong end of it in the same small room the accuracy would possibly be ok.

Top one yes, bottom one no?

Looks like a bubba special, but isn't. Can anybody identify this gun and it's history?

I believe it to be the Charleton automatic rifle, a classic

@MSL perfectly correct

@Max Headroom
NZ attempt to make a 303 machinegun with what have you. Typical #8 wire mentality
looks like it was basically successful.
Good example of a what would be called a steampunk design but it is actually a working firearm

I'm picking more than a few reconstructed wrists after firing that shotty pistol and pistol Nagant! I've never fired a Nagant; but aren't they meant to kick like a stag as a rifle? Let alone a pistol!
