Heavy. Expensive. Impossible to control.

I’d give anything to have one ...

That appears to be an Aimpro red dot which is great for close quarters work..and 9mm distance...

Does it magnify? Significantly? The FN P-90 has optics, and it’s a bullpup.

If they throw a brace on it, I’ll buy one.

Looks like a red dot target acquisition scope to me. Personally I’d rather have a window type holographic type like the Eotech.

Kinda looks like the CZ USA Scorpion EVO 3 S2 pistol. I guess form follows function.

I loved the one bought from some ARVN officer, but it was a heavy sucker. Much nicer than the M3 chug-a-lug.

The pictured version has a 3 lug mount. Much better than direct thread mounting. A quick push and twist of the can and you’re ready to go, and it won’t unscrew like a direct thread can.

Machined. Work of art.

Daddy would have gotten us Uzis.

A reference to an obscure movie, which I still enjoy watching whenever it is on.

I never shot a grease gun but I saw one demonstrated. My thought at the time was when was he going to put it on full auto? Very low rate of fire.

That big bolt slamming around prohibited any sort of aimed fire, other than general direction. The Thompson was far more controllable.
