street sweeper shotgun

You couldn’t aim it I think you just fired it off when your truck was ambushed and prayed it scared someone off. It also “features” a nice cylinder gap, and sprays gas and particulates for out the front of the drum onto the shooter’s forearm and out the back into the shooter’s face. I’ll have to check that out sometime.There is a hoary old story that some hapless victim of the 1975 OPEC terrorist attack in Vienna by Ilich Ramirez Sanchez aka “Carlos the Jackal” the PFLP and some members of the German 2nd of June movement got his hands on a Steyr MPi-69 but couldn’t figure out how to cock the weapon [pulling the receiver against the carrying strap], and thus wasn’t able to get a shot off against the terrorist gunmen… Like many hoary old stories, it is probably a myth, but who knows?Revolving shotgun is not new, but see Becker Revolving Semiautomatic Shotgun:And don’t forget about the Cobray version that was re-machined to accept 45-70 ammo, and it was affectionately called “The Lady’s Home Companion”. It was the age of trying to scare people with how something looked, not with what it was capable of doing. Thanks.Regarding the Brady Bunch getting involved, it looks like it back fired on them. Actually, I toured the shop where they make them, and made some video of the manufacturing process and the finished product (no shooting, though).

If that happened a whole new field of versatility in shotgun based weapon can be found.Not long ago, Ian reviewed Timothy J. Mullin’s _The Fighting Submachine Gun, Machine Pistol, and Shotgun: A Hands-On Evaluation_ (Boulder: Paladin Press, 1999) that concluded the “best” SMGs were the MP5 for accuracy, the Australian Owen for reliability, and the “Sten gun test” where if a given SMG design cannot surpass the 9mm Sten gun and costs more to produce, it is not worth the effort… Similarly, he noted that shotguns have consistently been civilian sporting arms modified for fighting use. BTW, the Taurus Circuit Judge is very popular among gun owners here in the United States, and actually works quite well for its intended purpose, so much so that ammunition manufacturers have come out with matched ammunition kits ( featuring specialized .45LC and .410 loads ) specifically for this gun. It’s quite a LOT of “handgun,” with a 30-something pound pull single-action trigger.IIRC (I handled a Streetsweeper a long time ago) it’s built on a solid frame like a Colt Peacemaker. The revolving shotgun is poor concept due to 2 reasons:The design is bad but needs to be seen in context. Since the Striker uses a conventional The first designs were criticized as having a slow and cumbersome firing mechanism. So to make it a swing-out cylinder you’d probably have to machine an entirely new frame with a proper cylinder arbor from scratch. Given a choice, a Breda Modello 30 light machine gun seems a lot better to me than the Streetsweeper. No, I suggested that banning the Streetsweeper was going to force street gangs to buy cheaper, easier to use and more effective “sporting shotguns” while discrediting the gun control movement.Good thing that Senator Deconcini’s staff didn’t listen to me.Enter your email address to receive notifications of new posts by email.Enjoy what you read on Forgotten Weapons? The “Rhuzi” was the square-stamped version, no? It’s one good point was that it was big and heavy enough to make a decent club.I sold it for about twice what I had in it. People in desperation will do some strange things. Combine that with a barrel mechanism that moved the barrel back and forth about 1/4″ at the beginning and end of a pumping stroke, and you’d have your “gas-seal” barrel and probably a more reliable mechanism overall.I think the Pancor “Jackhammer” auto shotgun used a setup like this to rotate its cylinder. Johnny Lee Wicks walked a full-sized Mossberg 500 shotgun through downtown Las Vegas without being detected until, short of courthouse metal detectors, he whipped out his shotgun and started shooting.World War One trench combat demonstrated how devastating the pump shotgun could be–and the loading port on the bottom permits a skilled shotgunner to keep up a high volume of fire–high enough that the plastic shotgun hulls become a liability. The Armsel Striker was designed by an ex-Rhodesian national, Hilton R. Walker, in 1981. Then, as often now too, white farmers were frequently targets of attack by the black African majority who frequently held grievances against the white-dominated political order, or who saw these farmers as relatively prosperous and therefore targets for robbery and/or murder. Yet, it is an attractive area of thought, since some sort of hybrid shots still wait to be developed. Actually looks more like the stuff seen in Libya during their revolution than third Reich.That’s a pretty good way to put it. The gun is the spiritual descendant of The pistol in this video is up for auction here. The trigger is a double-action type similar to a revolver’s, except that the first stage releases a catch and allows the drum to rotate one position under spring tension, where a revolver rotates with pressure supplied from the trigger mechanism. To all, many thanks for sharing such intriguing and valuable information!The first line should read as “David Carlson”. It’s a gas-operated, blow-forward-ish (The barrel is the piston and goes forward), Webley-Fosbery-like revolver that was originally designed to use non-reloadable “cassettes” as the cylinders that could double as land mines, and also required trigger to be pulled to remove the cylinder.
