LOL, mine as well. Only I do pictures.
Some of my stuff fell overboard too.
:(
Damn swells.
I’m glad to see that #8, Metal Storm, was designed with safety in mind. It has a sticker with an arrow that, I presume and being unable to read it from the photo, probably says something like; “Aim toward enemy”!
I first read of this concept in John Ringo’s ‘Posleen’ novels. I remember training for “One shot, One kill” but given a choice of what to have in a fire-fight ... this sucker is a fire-FRIGHT, bar none!
I’m on my third reading. I find some new detail every time.
After I read about it, I had to look it up and found a guy in a local gun club who owned one. He told me if I could pay for the ammo, I could shoot it. He has empty 20mm shells, but finding the appropriate amount of materiel to craft a bullet is difficult.
The damn thing is VERY heavy, and the one he has had the sleds replaced with heavy-wheeled cart.
Wow! That’s a whole lotta badass-ness for one article.
me likey bfl
If by saving a few bucks includes $200 and a 9-12 month wait for a Short Barreled Rifle tax stamp, then yeah.
Could they be turned from copper or brass bar stock? It would be a hoot to shoot it!
I have no idea, and he’s the quiet type when it comes to what he owns. If he’s got a Solo, he’s likely got some other interesting toys.
I’d have to imagine a 20mm bullet would take an enormous amount of lead or other soft metal and casting it would be interesting, but I’d imagine the molds are out there.
Flawed because it didn’t include this one:

Still cool though.
Personally I would LOVE to get an AA-12. As I understand it though they are NOT for civilian purchase. Tax stamp or not.
One accurately fired round from good cover can put down a target that issues a high rate of fire in slightly incorrect direction.
The coolest gun ever made is the Smith & Wesson Model 19-3 four inch .357 Magnum.
Cool
There is one gun I really wish I had back tho in a different caliber. It was a Winchester model 92, well actually a Browning BL-92 in .44 magnum.
I could live with the .44 but really want one in .357 magnum. Out of a 20 inch barrel that is a hot cartridge.
The gun is just so handy and feels right and the action is so smooth. Just another one of John Browning’ great ones.
