It looks really really long. I guess the pic of the barrel facing sideways is how you load it?

What caliber is the SMG on that page?

Looks like a very well made zip gun.

In the late eighties I worked on the set of Robo Cop II and one of the characters used a copy of that SMG. It was disguised to look like a boom box. At any rate, the maker (who was on the set) offered to sell it for $5000 after the shoot. Seemed like a bunch of money at the time. The other gun wrangler was offering Colt A1 M16s for $1200. Who knew? The wrangler also had a 93R but it wasn’t for sale.

just looked through your weapons gallery, and I'm very impressed. Are the photos original? If so, you're very talented. :)

loki fish, if I remember correctly it's a .380. Could be a .32. The tab that hangs below the muzzle is pulled back to charge the bolt. I played with it some and it is really a clever design. It could be opened. bolt charged and fired in a couple of seconds or so. The one I handled looked just like a portable radio.

The SMG takes 9mm Uzi magazines.


All photos are mine. Thanks.

Are the photos original? If so, you're very talented.Talented photographer? Yes. Unequivocally.

Even more so, Oleg is talented in ways
that extend beyond photography:
he spawned this forum.

Still, photographs are so, so powerful.

We are visual creatures.
We relate to images

Gung Ho or SOF magazine did a test on that SMG back before the machine gun ban. IIRC they were really high on it, but the ban killed it before it even got to production. I thought it was quite clever and it's good for the younger crowd to see what could have been.

Oleg, you don't happen to have any photos of the "BuzzSaw" do you? It came along in the same time period. It was a hand-held two barrel gatling gun in 22LR. It used cloth belts and ran about 5000 rounds per minute. In outward appearance it looked like a reciprocating saw.

Was that built off a Quackenbush rifle? Interesting.
