What's coming home Friday?

The one-hand thing gets me. I'm assuming an autoloader, since a single shot or bolt action requires a second invisible man helping you. You mean when loaded you can shoot it one-handed, or that you grab it and it keeps functioning without ever moving the hand during operation or reloading? I can operate a revolver with one hand, but I need to put it down somewhere to reload. One hand + armpit/lap?

Possibly-

AR 180 (USA, UK, Asia)
Valmet/Galil/R4
AUG (Austria, Australia and USA)

Kinda-sorta-

AR 10 (not sure about the third continent)
AR 15 (probably more than three continents)
FAL (again, not sure how many continents they were made on)
Soviet exports (not so one-handed though, and probably excludes the SKS which was only made in Asia and Europe from what I think I know.)

Now if you consider a levergun one-handed, then the 1892 has been made on at least three continents -- but it's hardly post-WW2. More post-American Civil War.



Not if it's an LED bulb.

If you're imagining a phased plasma rifle in the first place, why not also pretend it's efficient so you get more shots? I'm guessing that was either Cameron's or his weapon expert's idea in The Terminator
To clarify, one can fire, reload, work the action, and access all controls with one hand, and it could be either. Having the crook of an arm handy would help, but not absolutely necessary.
 
M17S? It was made (in one form or another) by Armtech in Australia, Bushmaster and now K&M. But I can only find it was made in Australia and the US, and I’m not sure it can be operated just with one hand.
I had to look that one up. Not the right answer, but neato!

Is it possible to charge that one without the use of a support hand?
 
I was going to say FN FAL / STG 58.

But now I'm leaning towards a MP5 rifle (production in Germany, Pakistan, & Turkey). A one handed mag change might be difficult without a sling though.
