I'd love for Ian to get his hands on one of these and take it apart. I want to see how well made it really is.

He did put together an article on one based on the pictures that are available, for some reason one of the people who seized these in a raid thought it was a good idea to show most of the disassembly. Pretty simple mechanically, looks to be somewhat homemade on the inside, but with a very well polished exterior.
Honestly, I'd buy an R9 Arms machinepistol in a heartbeat. Such a rad looking gun.
It looks like something a cyberpunk gangster might use

The Australian Lutys tend to look the best in my opinion.
I find it somewhat reminiscent of the Zoraki 925 blank gun.

These badboys were discovered in China. Supposedly some company manufacturing knock-off brand toys, was making guns on the side, and selling them in Hong Kong, Japan, and the Philippines.
Pump action revolvers? Well if nothing else it's interesting.
I really like the shotgun revolver posted above
Wouldn't that break your wrist though?
the one i bought was a 46-2, it's pretty close to my exact size but it wasnt spot on, the pants for it were a tad larger, but the coat fits pretty much perfect.
sizing markings are a bit off though since ive got a summer afghanka in 46-2 that is actually pretty tight on me
could just be my specific case but as far as i know the size markings on soviet surplus tend to be very generalized.
space wise it's a pretty full coat, the padding is absolutely nuts, you can remove the inner coat and wear it on its own, and the inside of the shell is felted as well.
even comes with a built in makarov holster with a lanyard that's like 6 feet long.

Best revolver.

I've said it before, but I think it has a lot to do with that region's awkward position of being not-quite part of either the Western or Eastern Blocs. Yugoslavia produced and used a wide variety of equipment based on gear and ideas not only from both of the major Cold War alliances but also some inventions of their own. Some examples:

The Yugoslav National Army wanted to adopt a Soviet style marksman rifle, but they neither had access to the Soviet made SVD license, nor the desire to use 7.62 Nagant. So instead they beefed up an RPK and converted it to use 8mm Mauser

They wanted to replace their WW2 vintage MP40s and Beretta 38s with something in 7.62 Tokarev because that was their standard pistol cartridge, so they made the M49 and M56.
Their tanks were rather interesting to, as in addition to having access to a decent mix of both American and Soviet armored fighting vehicles, they also made their own derivatives thereof, like this OT M60 APC which you will notice has a running gear based on the M18 Hellcatt (which the Yugoslav Army also used) with a hull design similar to American APCs

And also this BVP M80 IFV which was developed in response to the Soviet BMP and French AMX-10P

At the time of the breakup Yugoslavia's latest and greatest battle tank was this M84, an upgraded version of the Russian T-72, it actually predates the T-90 despite having similar improvements over the original. M84 tanks are actually currently still in use and being further developed by several of the post-Yugoslav states.
Does anyone still use 8mm Mauser as a service cartridge? I'd have thought it'd have been retired by the '70s-'80s.
Pretty sure Yugoslavia was the last military to use it, honestly it's kind of a shame since it's better than the 7.62 Mosin cartridge that the now eastern bloc post-Yugoslav and middle eastern states have switched over to. The Middle East, and most of central Europe used it for a quite brief time after the end of World War 2 simply because stocks of it were in very ready supply, but when that supply dried up they rapidly converted over to either the NATO or Warsaw cartridges, except Yugoslavia who held onto the 8mm to the end.
All these people getting their accounts nuked are really messing this thread up.
Fixed.
