The Internet and video games like "Call of Duty" often have us questioning what's actually real when it comes mind-boggling firearms and weapons. Although unbelievable, these six military weapons are real… and awesome.

Everything you see on the Internet is true, right? Unfortunately, that isn't always the case. So what about these amazing military weapons?

These six incredible weapons all are actually real, and amazing all in their own way. Some had very few made, and one isn't technically a military weapon, but nonetheless, they will all blow your mind. See the rest of the 6 military weapons here.

Click bait?

[Anti-Bubba182]

Not really, the info is all on one page.

[Vendome]

Not even gonna read that idiot page.

Between the masthead and the ridiculous footer, it rendered the oage down to maybe....maybe 35% usable.

The internet is becoming too much work to use...

Sigh....your link requires me to put full body armor on my computer, and deploy my best ad killing software to simply read it. I chose to retreat, instead.

[SJSAMPLE]

I don’t think the FMG-9 made it past the 2012 SHOT Show.

[wastedyears]

Call of duty is complete garbage.

[Yo-Yo]

You're welcome.

[Tenacious 1]

Thank you. Saved me a click and advertising.

There are a few old-school smiths who still build centerfire dangerous game rifles in calibers larger than .950 (Memphian Ken Owen, for one) and the Barrett XM109 is chambered in 25mm. So despite the incessant fawning over the JDJ .950, it is not and never was the largest centerfire rifle made .

Like the idea of the Magpul folding SMG. But it would be Class III, and not available to ordinary people, even if they made them.

I do have the KelTec SUB-2000 folding carbine, and it is an amazingly compact and sturdy weapon. Not a military weapon, but it would make a great piece for tankers, artillerymen, and rear-echelon troops.

Ken Owen's *Mastodon* 4-Bore double rifle is not only as suitable for the purpose for which the cartridge was developed, but equals, at least, the craftsmanship and beauty of the offerings of the British and European double-gun builders of the previous Century.

My own entry into those circles had to do with a single-barrel 2-bore, and, eventually, development of a long-range 20mm x139b-based wildcat cartridge for use in the RH-Alan Ručni Top 20 action, [normally found in a 20x110mm chambering] with the neck opened up for a somewhat larger diameter projectile. Somewhat!

But no, you're quite correct that the .950 JDJ, is not and never was the largest centerfire rifle made. Not hardly!

Oh, they're quite available, but as the PP-90 Pistolet-Pulemet obrazets 1990,/ ПП-90 – Пистолет-пулемет, or * Machine Pistol model of 1990*. And they're in the 9mm Makarov chambering.

Manufactured at the Russian Tula arms plant, there are also 9mm Parabellum versions, a selective-fire variant, a suppressed version, and the *Bizon* spinoff from the competing Izhmash firm that uses a 64-round helical-feed high-capacity magazine.

But no, they're not particularly suitable for tankisti, Артиллерия, or MTO-voennii, who need real rifles in the event they come under fire from enemies so equipped. It's a cops and spooks gun, and also useful for security purposes where the sight of a *regular* weapon might spook the horses...and sheep.
