The prototype of the "Wonder Nine" made by Steyr in 1968.

Just something else to take our minds off politics.

You da man. I don't recall ever holding one in person but I do remember reading about it.

I watched the SHOT video attached to your link, not bad. I see they used our girl as a draw and she looked better than ever.

Ah the Steyr GB. I owned one and made the mistake of selling it. It is the ONLY firearms I ever regretted selling. It was a huge monster but shot very well.

How cool would it be to have one of those gyrojet guns?

I think the Stoeger catalog actually listed the Gyrojet pistol at one time.

The "harmonica" gun is pretty wild. Can you imagine trying to conceal that, or even open carrying it in a holster?

My dad had one of those French palm pistols. If I remember correctly it had a ten shot revolving cylinder. When you squeezed it the cylinder would index to the next cartridge in line with the barrel. It was DAO and worked very much like a "Chicago Lemon Squeezer".
