“Really odd guns”? You guys must be really new to firearms!

- The Webly-Fosbury “Automatic Revolver”?

- the Dardick magazine-fed revolver that fired “Trounds”.

- the US Benet-Mercier light machine gun.

- the Whitney Wolverine (try finding one without a crack in it)

- almost anything French

How about the Quackenbush .50 cal (.495 round ball) air rifle ?
Compressed air provided by a scuba tank. Four shots out of one fill.

Yeah, I was going to say that any list without the Dardick was incomplete.

Forgot about the Gyrojet. I really wanted one of them.

Back in ‘71 I had a chance to buy a Webley-Fosbury still in its original cosmoline for $75; I wanted to, but as an E-2 in AIT, just couldn’t afford it. Always regretted not doing whatever it took to get one.
