What's the weirdest gun(s) you've ever actually held in your hands?

[lev83]

Details are somewhat sketchy but I can remember my grandfather having one of those crudely stamped Liberator pistol in 45 ACP. Do not recall what happened to this but sure wish I had it now.

grease gun

I've held one of those old greese guns years ago. Had heard of them before, but until I saw that thing I never did know why it was called a grease gun.

It was called a "grease gun" because the shape resembled a automotive hand held grease gun. Much more common 40 years ago before sealed bearings.

McMillan custom 50 BMG bolt action pistol. One round was enough for me....

I have handled... and can handle any time I want, a .45-70 Borchardt-Sharps rifle from 1880

Internal hammer Sharp rifle.

Very cool

I found a MAT 49 and a PPSH 43 in a VC bunker.

The MAT was cool, but only had one mag.

I let my bodyguards keep them to turn in for the rewards.

Some of the project guys actually had some Gyrojets in their toyboxes, but never took them to the field.
One guy reported being burnt test firing one.

One other nobody's mentioned...

I also had a Kel-Tec sub-2000
A fold-in-half 9mm carbine with the most horrible sight picture ever.

Mateba Auto Revolver. I found that a bullpup AK defiently has a 'different' feel to it.

Held a left handed double barreled shotgun that had a curve in the stock that brought the action in line with the right eye...Apparently made for a left handed shooter who was right eye dominant.

English make I think.

A 7.62 X 25 PPSh, yes I know there are a few of them floating around out there, but the one I shot was in Afghanistan and it was still being carried by a soldier in the Afghan military, a real Russian capture, I almost cried when I handed it back.
