I’ve seen those stacked guns firing on TV. Reloading is pretty much out of the question, but manoman you can put a lot of ammo down range with one of those. They fire so fast it’s not rat-a-tat, is more of a buzzing sound.

Is the barrel bent with a camera on it?

I see I am not the only one re-reading Unintended Consequences.

Nice. But, why would anyone NEED one of these? Maybe to stave off pit bull attacks on helpless baby sea lions?

I LOVE that Mk-19. As an MP Company Commander I had 46 of them to do my bidding. Unfortunately, I had to leave them for the next commander when I left :-(

i’d love to try one of those.
it’d be on my top 3 list of guns to own, with an hk psg-1 and an h&h double rifle.

Remember DREAD? I think nothing must have ever come of it. The idea was basically a centripedal weapon system, a spinning turret that spit out ball bearings.

You can save a few bucks by taking your pistol and getting their adapter kit.

Around 1976 a company called Walter Criag in Selma, Alabama advertised some 98-09 Argentine Mausers for sale. These were unfired still in the cosmoline and even included the original test target.

The price was pretty good so I had a local dealer order me one. When it arrived, I was very pleased. First of all it was not only a model 1909, it was actually made in 1909 by Deutsch Waffen und Munitionsfabrik in Berlin. The included test target indicated that some guy named Herr Ritzmann had shot a slightly under 2 inch group at 200 meters with open sights. He then rightly signed his work.

The workmanship on the rifle was simply off the charts. It was the best made gun I had ever seen. The fact that they were turning these guns out by the millions was hard to believe. The bolt was in the white, all metal parts had the serial number or the last two digits of it. Some of the small parts had a fantastic cobalt blue which had a varied tone. It just plain looked good.

I probably should have just left it unfired but I shot it. One day I was shooting at an old tar bucket, a measured 400 yards away. That was just about where the sights were adjusted for. It was not hard at all to hit from a standing unrested position.

Did it function perfectly? What a silly question. Of course it did.

It was the coolest gun I have ever owned and I never should have let it go. A good friend offered me just about twice what it was worth and I foolishly sold it.
