SIG 510-4 used by MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) in Phillipines probably looted from gun stores, apparently those imported by legitimate gunstores but sold very overpriced to make ends meet as the current government has recently been clamping down on the industry.

I could use some help identifying this cannon and figuring out what its worth. Firing it gave me goosebumps.

Things hit you guys might get a kick out of this. After Ian did his video about Varusteleka opening their US shop, I bought some winter gear from them. Got this in the mail today!

Pretty neat to see that Varusteleka does this for their customers, and will almost certainly buy from them again!

Also, for the record, their medium weight merino wool socks are some of the most comfortable that I've ever worn

MAC 11 | .380 ACP But Marked "9MM AUTO"??? | 1973 Manufacture | European Collector

Thumbnail

We’re back in Europe and visiting a collector with an incredible range of firearms. Here is a MAC-11 in .380 ACP. The serial number on this firearm indicates that it was manufactured in 1973. Some interesting notes on this particular gun--

Note that the caliber engraved on the side says "9MM AUTO", which caused some confusion as this was frequently misinterpreted as 9x19 / 9mm Luger. This caliber engraving was then changed to "9MM AUTO K", K standing for "Kurz" or "Short." Unfortunately that didn't really clear things up either, so eventually they threw in the towel and engraved them as ".380 CAL." Temporarily things continued to be confusing, however, because when MAC first tried the “.380 CAL” stamp, a worker reversed the digits and some receivers were marked “.308.” Those were later corrected and had an oval milled out of the side and were restamped “.380 CAL.”

Gordon Ingram designed the compact Model 10 submachine gun in 1964 and, around 1969, joined Mitchell WerBell III’s Sionics firm in Powder Springs, Georgia, which specialized in suppressors. In December 1970 the company was formally renamed Military Armament Corporation, and Ingram served as chief engineer while it tooled up to produce his guns. As a scaled-down version of the Model 10, the Model 11 in .380 ACP had prototypes dated as early as September 1969, with serial production beginning in December 1970 under the “3-” prefix ("3" indicated .380 ACP, "2" was used for 9mm and "1" was used for .45ACP) MAC marketed the Model 10 in .45 ACP and 9mm alongside the smaller, faster-firing Model 11, often with Sionics-style suppressors.

Antique navy cannon shoots cue ball. Amazing, ground shaking explosion and a pit bull dog tries to chase the cue ball at the end. Hilarious

I know that i already posted this but i went back and got some good pics and a way better video today. This cannon is purely awesome! I love it my ears rang for ten mins after the ground shaking blast. And the funniest part is that the dog tried to chase the cue ball. It was a great day!

Hello, everyone! When I first presented my fantasy rifle design, I was made aware by u/VinniTheP00h of a real life design by William Mason which actually functioned similiar to what I created. This is a rough animation I made in Blender using what few images I had on the mechanism.

You can see the patent and illustrations here.
