What the strangest gun you have ever owned/saw

[Pete D.]

Not as strange as some of those above.
A Pardini M.75 Free Pistol:

Daisy caseless, I'm surprised they didn't use something a little catchier like "Daisy Diesel"

DUO - Mars 6.35mm

How about the Czech DUO or Mars 6.35mm (.25ACP) pocket pistols....

To disassemble, you pull the slide back half an inch, then turn the barrel a quarter turn. Pretty nifty design.

That's the same way my Colt .25 auto disassembles...I think that's just how they did it back then

I remember a 3 barrel revolver back in the '70's, or early '80's. It was a top break, with a .410 in the center, and alternating chambers for .22 and .357. The cylinder rotated around the .410 chamber. A selector on the side moved the firing pin, allowing the shooter to choose the caliber for the task at hand.

A quick google search didn't turn it up, but maybe someone here has seen it, and can say what it was.

when the COP 357 derringer (LOL) was brand new to the market ( im remembering around 1979) i got me one. i always found the 5th round to be the most accurate; that one was after you missed 4 times ua round housed the gun into the BJ's jaw.

tradded it for a taste more than i paid and never looked back.

9mmEpi: I'd never seen one until a friend handed me one made during WW2, challenging me to field strip it.

Anyhow, because of this thread, yesterday I looked up the Mars online and found out the original design came right from JMB. I guess that explains why your Colt auto .25 disassembles the same way.

Double barreled pump 12ga shotgun.

50 years ago, my brother and I were shown a 4-gauge double-barrel shotgun.

Maybe it's not that strange, but I've never seen - or heard of - another.

an old Lorcin .25, thing was a pot metal slide biting machine. It was shaped like a water pistol, and had been painted glossy white.

 

[HGUNHNTR]

That would be the Swiss K31. Not because of the straight pull bolt, but because it cost less that $250, came with GP11 ammo (superb surplus) and shoots like a house a fire. It is very strange in this day and age to find a rifle of the quality of the K31, with readily available match quality ammo, for way less than the price of a cheap NIB name brand.

I owned at one time a Spanish Destroyer (originally a 9mm bolt action) carbine that had been converted to a .45acp, used 1911 mags, made a bloop sound when fired.

 

[Caliper_Mi]

Matchlock rifle at a gun show. Guess it's not that strange, but kinda neat.

Double barreled pump 12ga shotgun.

I read a book series by a British author who has a character that uses a "double barrel pump shotgun". IDK if he is just uneducated about guns, the character has some specialty gun (book takes place in kind of an evil twilight zone), or if it was an actual gun. Nice to know such a thing exists.

I do own one of the VL-22's and yes its a interesting peice. One rifle I really wanted to buy but talked myself out of was a German Schuetzen like pictured below. Guy wanted $500 for it which I was pretty sure was going to be a steal but I ended up buying a Colt double eagle 10mm instead.
