Gunsmithing (no politics)
Method of Madness:
Before I saw the picture, I was imagining a giant handgun that somehow shot shotgun shells. I know that doesn't make sense at all, but I'm still disappointed.
GarandMarine:
Dude. Look at it. You REALLY aren't far off there.
Caspian Sea Monster:
Oh man that's cool. I wonder how they made the cylinder-advance mechanism work. They're apparently pump-action and I doubt they would have gone to the trouble of adding the slide if you still had to rotate the cylinder by hand, but there's no cam track on the outside of the cylinder and it doesn't seem like there's quite enough room for a traditional ratchet-and-pawl mechanism. Or maybe a Striker-style clockwork spring, I don't know. In any case I'd love to get my hands on one and take it apart.
ETA: That's also one hell of an industrious operation if these are all clandestine-manufacture. Most situations like this, the builders settle for STEN-style tube guns for the sake of simplicity. This took dedication.
Also as cool as these are I would not want to light one off with a 12ga stockless shotgun with a grip like that. That's gotta hurt.
GarandMarine:
The triads don't fuck around
Grognard:
I thought they were pump style paintball markers at first.....
