Random Gun Pics...let’s see how random we can make it

I used to tidy up around this little thing - and a French 75, an M-60 tank, a Huey on a stick, an A-7E Corsair mounted similarly and some other old military hardware.
From mere eyeball and memory, that's a 5" 38cal Mk 12 found on carriers and some auxiliaries. The boxy bits on the LH side of the mount (right in the photo) are the fuze setters. Which had a grippy-bit that engages the various rings on a mechanical time fuze and spun it up to the desired setting.

That's the actual 1940-41 proposed way the Carbine was meant to be issued. Along with a singe two-magazine pouch on the Belt, Pistol, M-1936.

According to the placard on the monument, the 5" gun was a 25 caliber dual-purpose gun off of the heavy cruiser USS Tuscaloosa.
The mainmast was located nearby.
 
Beretta 950B with the tip up barrel. The class act of the single action .25 ACP ("get off me" type of) mouseguns. With its 8 round mag and tip up barrel you can carry it with 9 rounds of ball in Condition 2 (hammer all the way down, not on the half cock) safely though you would have to cock it before firing. Alternatively you could carry it in Condition 3 with a loaded mag and empty chamber for an Israeli Draw though I would have the hammer cocked to lessen the weight of the slide draw and speed up racking in a round.

It is very reliable and has a fast trigger reset.

Paid $80 US for it but it did need new grips to funtion properly.

Under the category of "Why the heck did I buy this pistol?".

High Standard 101 .22 LR DA derringer.

It has a DA trigger pull so heavy, some women can't fire it.............

I've removed the white grips to make it thinner. Functions fine.
