Artisan shotgun with with a slight Laurence of Arabia feel.
Seized yesterday by police in Trinidad and Tobago.
An improvised 12 gauge design. Presumably bolt handle locking, which slides forward to open. How the favella engineering department seemed to exceed ahead of Cobray on this one is anyone’s guess.
A typical Friday night out in Minas Gerais.
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.
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.
