Bolt action shotgun (Philippines)
A local craft made bolt action 12 gauge shotgun typically produced by rural gunsmiths. The bolt handle appears to have battered and peened back the locking slot. Seized in Manilla.
Shotgun with under-barrel shotgun
A homemade double barrel 20-gauge shotgun which was seized from a drug dealer in Brazil last month. The top barrel is trigger fired while the bottom barrel is fired using a thumb to flip down the striker.
Gang haul
A typical Friday night out in Minas Gerais.
Local craft made firearms (Mindanao, Philippines)

The Three Horsemen
A ‘handful’ of break action 12 gauge shotgun pistols produced locally by illegal gunsmiths in Thailand. Now seldom seen where originally produced in the Philippines, these remain a very popular weapon in Thailand and are traded quite openly.
Favela Firepower
Two typical Brazilian street weapons – a homemade submachine gun and 12 gauge shotgun displayed by a recently arrested suspect.
Cobray Terminator Copies In Brazil
Someone in Brazil decided that perhaps the last firearm anyone should ever want to copy should indeed be copied. You’d think that anyone who likes their shoulders would at least ditch the original MAC-10 type stock (Yes, the originals used left over surplus of the worst stock in existence…. slapped on a 12 gauge shotgun). The example pictured above was seized on May 20th in the Federal District of Planaltina.
Possibly another Terminator inspired design.
12 gauge sledge hammer
A sledge hammer in the van or in the yard will evoke little suspicion. Flip the handle around, swap the shell from one end to the other and with these example you have a fully functioning 12 gauge shotgun.
