I shot one of those decades ago! It was like squeezing a lemon and somewhere in that squeeze it would go “Bang!”
Never knew what part of the squeeze it would let off.

I won’t be bidding on this. I’m saving my auction money for Moe’s vise.

Here's a replica you can buy for $875.
Looks pretty close but for some reason, the replica has vents in front of the magazine well.

I can’t believe they didn’t mention its a Mauser C96 Broomhandle with some junk added on to make it look futuristic.

Seriously? A altered broom handle?
Should’ve kept it original. Worth more.

Meh, prop experts are taking a closer look, I think the scope is legit, but most of the rest is questionable.

Looks like it was built up on an old Mauser frame.
