to be fair it was pretty much entirely based on a riffle built at the most desperate time in german history
The [url=http://homemadeguns.wordpress.com/]Homemade Guns wordpress[/url] never stops amazing me... All these firearms are unique to the gunsmith that made them, and every firearm has a story of research, effort, time, and engineering artwork that was put into manufacturing a tool that is used to make war, peace, and business.
I mean look at some of these!

All of these firearms are distinct variants or completely new designs that are spawned by creativity and ingenuity. These people design weapons with whatever resources they can manage to find, and create something that is effective in fighting in combat, and in speaking of fighting in combat...

No fuck you G3s are beautiful. They are crude. They are bulky. They are rough. They don't love you. They beat you up. They tear your brass. They bruise your shoulder. They don't love you. But for every show of rejection the G3 tosses you, you love it more. For every time it rejects you, you buy it another batch of flowers. For every time it kicks your face, you kiss it's boots and ask for more. G3 is love. Not passionate love. Not sweet love. Rough fucking hateful love where she takes too much pity on you and you're too blind to ever see the abuse for it to ever result in a breakup. It's fuckin' true love. It sucks. And that's why it's great. - Drunk Riller with a broken foot and a bunch of sedatives.

Except I didn't have a Madsen LMG to defend myself with. I was just taking a piss, and he came up from behind and slapped my ass, so I fell over, got up, was like "HEY FUCK YOU!" and tried to run after him... And fell flat on my face on second step because my leg didn't work. Fuckin' twisted 180+ in the fall.
Well, that's not good, but at least it'll serve as a reminder to carry a century old recoil operated LMG on you at all times.
Also, segwaying horribly from that, I've been working on porting some weapon models from a game called Deadfall Adventures and it has some really interesting guns in it, probably the most strange of the bunch is this:
[img]http://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/o2VJFrW.jpg[/img]
The Mauser Selbstlader M1916, also known by its Air Corps designation the FliegerKarabiner 1915. Mauser had actually been working on semi-auto rifles as early as 1897, with the first prototype being a short recoil design whose development was halted after a testing accident cost the designer one of his eyes. This final version was a delayed blowback action that makes the G11 look reasonable.
[quote=Forgotten Weapons]When the rifle is in battery, two pivoting lugs in a V-shape join together behind the breech block to prevent the block from recoiling rearwards, locking it in place. When the rifle is fired, recoil instead operates a slide that is positioned atop the receiver that is attached to the two locking lugs via cams cut into it. As the slide moves rearward, it opens the two lugs so they sit flush against the walls of the receiver, which finally allows the impulse of recoil to drive the bolt rearward. With the slide locked back in place, the bolt is free to travel forward again, stripping a round from the magazine into the chamber. Thereafter the slide is released, which again locks the lugs behind the breech block and enables the firing pin to be engaged.

Underside of the receiver deck (cover) showing the complicated nature of this design. The steel plate with two grooves acts on a stud on two flaps that lock the bolt in place. The recoil pushes this plate back, which unlocks the flaps, delaying the bolt stroke until pressures are safe.

Underside of the receiver deck with locking flaps, showing where the small studs on top of the flaps fit into the deck.

Receiver with deck removed, showing flaps that delay the opening of the bolt. If the top deck were in place, its camming plate would have pulled the front of both flaps towards each other, bracing them behind the bolt and locking it.

Receiver with deck removed, showing the flaps unlocked and the bolt at the rear of its travel.[/quote]
The magazine is a rather interesting combination of ideas that would go on to become standard, and ideas that would make your friends tell you to stop drinking whatever it is you've been drinking, it's a 20 round detachable box, but the strange part comes in the removal process:
[img]http://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/mGF8ORk.jpg[/img]
First you push the magazine release in the front of the trigger guard forward, then you pull the trigger guard down and outward, at this point the magazine is released, and after removing it you then have to grab the tabs on the side of the receiver and push them forward to unlock the bolt, which you then grab by the distinctive top mounted handle and pull backwards where it locks to the rear, after this you then insert your new magazine and close your trigger guard, which will lock the magazine and slam the whole bolt assembly closed.
Semi auto only, but for a blowback operated 8mm Mauser prone to jamming, that's a bit of a blessing in disguise, especially when you take into account that they had impeccable accuracy.
I love how the handguard goes down and hugs the magazine. That's so great.
Looks heavy as fuck.

Doesn't even work...
The only sources I can find say it came in around 10-12 pounds. They were issued in very limited numbers to the German Air Force in World War 1, including to Zeppelin crews, because yeah using those in combat was actually almost a thing. They ended up getting replaced in favor of Mondragon rifles, which everyone admitted were crap by comparison, absurdly less accurate, very cheaply made, and somehow actually less reliable than the Mausers, but cheap enough that every Mauser Fliegerkarabiner was replaced by two Mondragons.
Also this game had a Roth Steyr M1907
[img]http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/handguns/1287652891.jpg[/img]
The first semi-auto pistol put into service with a major military, striker fired, fed from a fixed ten round magazine, reloaded via stripper clips. They were issued to Austro-Hungarian cavalry during World War 1 in sets of three, two for the saddle holsters, one for a chest holster, the idea being that it was too hard to reload on horseback so when a gun ran dry you could just swap guns ("it's always faster to switch to your pistol").
The stripper clips themselves are actually a bit interesting too, as you can see they have a little charging nub on one end to give you something to push rather than just the last round in the clip.
Oh man if I could get my hands on one of those selbtstlader's I.. I wouldn't know what to do.
What a cool but wonky looking weapon.

Not an actual HK product, it's a parts-kit-mutant built by some dude in the US from an MP5/40 and an MP5SD, but pretty boss still.
Too bad it's in .40[sp]Short'n'Weak[/sp] and not glorious 10mm Auto masterrace. Then again, a silenced 10mm is still channeling the force and sound of Thor and Zeus having a fight.

It would, yes. That's not the point, though. Point is, MP5/40SD is a thing. And that's pretty cool.
Wasnt the sten gun designed to be made with plumbing or something like that?

I really love the wooden vertical fore-grip you can get on AK's.

Does anyone know if these were actually made the Russians at any time? The only times I've seen them they've been on the Romanian copy, the WASR-10.
That foregrip design is indeed Romanian, it's standard on the PM md. 63, the Romanian-made AKM clone. As I recall only the Romanians and anybody who cloned the Romanian design produced that foregrip. The Hungarian AMD-65 has a similar design, but not quite the same:

Is it just me or is that just the pistol grip flipped and tacked on to the handguard
It's the pistol grip flipped and tacked on to the handguard.
Because why go through the hassle of manufacturing another part to use for the foregrip when you can just make another pistol grip?
