I love firearms with strange designs

[u/Amaright1]

Anyone who wishes to see more of these might be able to find some over at r/cursedguns

[u/Iceblader]

[u/GyL_draw → u/Iceblader]

[u/KyoKyu → u/GyL_draw]

If they want a semi auto pistol and have figured out a magazine and how to feed that into a revolver cyclinder... why bother with the cylinder?

[u/EngineerGaming7274 → u/KyoKyu]

Its to do with safety. It safety this way because the round is only in front of the firing pin when the gun is firing. Shame it exploded during its first trial

[u/The_Billy_Dee → u/EngineerGaming7274]

That sounds very safe!

[u/Amaright1 → u/Iceblader]

I 100% remember this being a real gun but with 2 cylinders

Edit: yup its the Landstadt

[u/NameRevolutionary727 → u/Iceblader]

The Landstadt

[u/I-Identify-Guns]

TKB-059, a bullpup, triple-barrelled AK rifle

[u/Delicious_Ad_2991 → u/I-Identify-Guns]

average russian prototype firearm:
1. burst fire rate of 17374626 rpm
2. super cool recoil diminishing technology
3. 2.34 units produced in total

[u/Whyareyourunning309 → u/Delicious_Ad_2991]

1. Tweakiest iron sights

[u/TheIRSTaxMan → u/Whyareyourunning309]

1. Expensive as all shit

[u/Delicious_Ad_2991 → u/TheIRSTaxMan]

1. defeated by a random ak found in the landfill somewhere in romania in a competition

[u/Delicious_Ad_2991 → u/Whyareyourunning309]

1. bullpupped

[u/ThisUsernameSuxLOL → u/Delicious_Ad_2991]

It's okay, you can say AN-94

[u/Delicious_Ad_2991 → u/ThisUsernameSuxLOL]

nah i would’ve put the slanted mag in the list

[u/Attrexius → u/I-Identify-Guns]

Or any other prototype by Korobov, really.

TKB-022P, which is the best gun ever if we judge guns solely by gun-to-barrel length ratio.

[u/cyborg_priest → u/Attrexius]

How the hell does it feed? There's barely any space behind the magazine.

[u/cheeseburgerandfrie → u/cyborg_priest]

Commie space magic

[u/Madman_Salvo → u/cyborg_priest]

Maybe in reverse? So the rounds are pulled into place by something that hooks behind them, rather than a rod that pushes them into place?

[u/Attrexius → u/Madman_Salvo]

Yep, it's this. Here's a video of how it works.

It also extracts spent brass via a tube that goes above the barrel, sorta similar to FN2000 - and it's rather surprising to me that there's two entire guns using this idea.

[u/chitzk0i → u/cyborg_priest]

Tricky engineering

[u/Potato_DudeIsNice → u/I-Identify-Guns]

Cant imagine how comically chonky that magazine is lol

[u/I-Identify-Guns → u/Potato_DudeIsNice]

Triple feed, 15 rounds each. She’s thiccc alright

[u/Amaright1 → u/I-Identify-Guns]

600×3 rpm

[u/ATangerineMann → u/I-Identify-Guns]

Also it’s in Payday 2 strangely enough

[u/JumpyAlbatross8135 → u/I-Identify-Guns]

The soviets really just made any bullshit they thought of 

[u/pgp555 → u/I-Identify-Guns]

Yo it's the double/tripletake

[u/FishShtickLives]

I think about this bullpup barrett 50cal a lot lmao

[u/Amaright1 → u/FishShtickLives]

Very cool I have never seen a shoulder fired sniper. Into my collection it goes

[u/ENGINE_YT → u/Amaright1]

Yeah it was meant for helicopters iirc

[u/Amaright1 → u/ENGINE_YT]

Why helicopters specifically

[u/ENGINE_YT → u/Amaright1]

Shoulder mounting probably made it easier to aim upwards

As for why you'd use it instead of MANPADS my only guess is that because a .50 BMG round is cheaper

[u/LightningFerret04 → u/ENGINE_YT]

Absolutely-massively cheaper, much easier to handle and transport and logistically really easy to source

Disadvantages, they’re unguided, have less range and have much less stopping power

[u/TheMace808 → u/LightningFerret04]

Also, blowback is a big issue if firing from inside a vehicle

[u/MaxDickpower → u/ENGINE_YT]

Shoulder mounting makes it easier to aim unbraced in general. Lot of heft to hold out in front of you otherwise.

[u/LordofThe7s → u/Amaright1]

[u/hexregeneration → u/FishShtickLives]

That's actually sick as fuck

[u/christpuncher_69 → u/FishShtickLives]

Target: eliminated

Shoulder: obliterated

[u/Few_Imagination_6203]

[u/Maelstrom_Vangheist → u/Few_Imagination_6203]

That's 5 hours worth of ammo if you account for the jams.

[u/Amaright1 → u/Few_Imagination_6203]

Zip gun max upgraded

[u/Excellent_Safe5743 → u/Few_Imagination_6203]

Is that a fuckin modded out Zip-22.

[u/Few_Imagination_6203 → u/Excellent_Safe5743]

Sopmod zip .22

[u/GreenDragon113 → u/Few_Imagination_6203]

no grip for u shithead

[u/RoJayJo → u/Few_Imagination_6203]

iirc the only gun that Brandon Herrera did more damage by throwing than firing.

I feel so bad for the man who took this picture- he spent so much money on such a piece of shit.

[u/CLUCKCLUCKMOTHERFUC]

I present the keltec p50 it's a pistol that takes p90 mags and basically breaks in 2 to reload

[u/Amaright1 → u/CLUCKCLUCKMOTHERFUC]

[u/TerrapinMagus → u/CLUCKCLUCKMOTHERFUC]

Keltec has that premium cocaine in their design room

[u/Pooh-in-Timbs-111 → u/CLUCKCLUCKMOTHERFUC]

I love how when it came to COD the new standard of fictionalization completely changed the loading mechanism to a side loader like the PDW-57 from BO2 and crazy of all is that it’s somehow more sensible than the norm of what Keltec does

[u/Toon_Lucario → u/CLUCKCLUCKMOTHERFUC]

PLEASE someone take away Keltec’s liquor license

[u/DAN_MASTER101]

One from older time I present you the Duck's Foot Pistol

[u/ElBrunasso → u/DAN_MASTER101]

Useful if you consider the poor accuracy guns had in the past

[u/Amaright1 → u/DAN_MASTER101]

Complicated blunderbuss

[u/papi-punk]

?

[u/Realistic_Grass3611 → u/papi-punk]

Very good recoil, litle to no stomping power and poor accuracy

All of the 10mm guns in fallout

[u/Amaright1 → u/gaegurliepancake]

Reminds me of this

[u/Primary-Latter → u/Amaright1]

WHAT IN FUCK HAS BEEN DONE TO RIFLE?!

More seriously what am I looking at here? Seems AR-ish. That just a wacky-ass AR pistol?

[u/Amaright1 → u/Primary-Latter]

Idk Google images

[u/UGoBoy → u/Primary-Latter]

It's a mostly 3D printed pistol nicknamed the SpaceGat 22. As I understand it, it's built around a .22 conversion kit for AR rifles.

[u/wellyes34]

The Tyranid Strangleweb aka the horse cock gun

[u/the_marxman → u/wellyes34]

[u/zZach_Attack → u/wellyes34]

Holy bad dragon

Now I can't unsee it. Thanks

[u/retrospace89 → u/wellyes34]

You ruined Tyranids for me 😭

[u/ANormalRando]

Almost everything made by these crazy Floridians fits this post.

https://www.keltecweapons.com/

[u/Amaright1 → u/ANormalRando]

They have some interesting designs

[u/CubePlayer1114 → u/Amaright1]

Don't forget the regular P50

[u/Syhkane → u/Amaright1]

KP50 Aah, you were at my side, all along. My true mentor... My guiding moonlight...

[u/Gravewaker → u/ANormalRando]

SU16C, my beloved, ugly child.

[u/ANormalRando → u/ANormalRando]

Also need to note the P90. I think it's become so ubiquitous that we all accept it, but the P90 really is such a wacky design.

[u/rocky8u → u/ANormalRando]

It was so weird and futuristic that they decided to feature it as the main gun in Stargate SG-1.

[u/UncleIrohsTeaPot → u/rocky8u]

That’s part of it, the other part is that the MP5s that they started the show with had the practical problem of slinging hot brass from the blanks around the set, and the P90 ejects spent brass downward, mitigating that issue.

[u/IrateWolfe → u/rocky8u]

I just learned recently that it's inclusion in Stargate led to an international incident. They didn't produce blanks in that caliber, so the show had to purchase live ammo for conversion, and they bought up so much that the US military ran short and had to reach out to SciFi (A Canadian company) to ask them to stop, and SciFi refused

[u/Lazerninja88 → u/rocky8u]

“This is a weapon of War, it is meant to KILL the enemy”

[u/the_marxman → u/ANormalRando]

The prototype was worse

[u/Bruhllux → u/the_marxman]

I imagine this is the kinda thing the Covenant from Halo used before they developed plasma tech

[u/ANormalRando → u/the_marxman]

Oh dear God, that's an abomination. Looks more like a power tool than a gun

[u/trecani711]

My beautiful chunky space gun, the G11

[u/Amaright1 → u/trecani711]

Caseless ammunition as well pure sifi stuff

[u/TerrapinMagus → u/trecani711]

I love the G11 so much, she is beautiful. Elegant. Kinda shit, but that's because works of art don't belong on a battlefield.

[u/Amaright1 → u/[deleted]]

Revolver lever action rifel

[u/RoJayJo → u/Amaright1]

I'm not into guns, but I can tell that this is both pretty inefficient but also must be a blast to use.

[u/ColonialMarine86 → u/[deleted]]

Shhh don't let Bethesda see this

[u/Key_Assumption_2776]

Admittedly more of a developmental prototype than intended for actual use, but this is an early ancestor of the An-94, the Nikonov Na-4. The magazine reciprocated along with the rest of the action.

[u/Amaright1 → u/Key_Assumption_2776]

Interesting grip shape

[u/DAN_MASTER101]

Harmonica Pistol

[u/Amaright1 → u/DAN_MASTER101]

Interesting design how often did it accidentally fire the other rounds

[u/DAN_MASTER101 → u/Amaright1]

I have to guess that it happened a lot since it's very old, it was in mid 1700 and chain fire happened a LOTS

[u/ManyMicroPixels]

here are some of my favorite designs from TF2

Surprised nobody put the mateba yet.

[u/Regon2005 → u/Beelzis]

What's weird about it

[u/FemboyBones → u/Regon2005]

It's a true semi automatic, barbell is on the bottom, open top cylinder bed, can shot "single action" with special/variant ammo, had a shit top of barrel lengths, longest being 18in, and much more

[u/Competitive_Depth144 → u/Regon2005]

Barrels on the bottom

[u/GrouchyBig3135]

AO-46, cool 5.6mm pdw

[u/Amaright1 → u/GrouchyBig3135]

What the hell am I looking at it looks like a Ak and Uzi had a child

[u/GrouchyBig3135 → u/Amaright1]

I guess mp7 but soviet, also the mag is the grip

[u/Amaright1 → u/GrouchyBig3135]

All Soviet weapons evolve back to Ak

Big ak small ak long ak short ak

[u/kyubi_on_the_run]

The Chain SAW from CoD: Ghosts

[u/PvblixEmployee]

French Mas Model 1918, its a clip fed Carbine loaded through a trap door on the bottom.

French guns are a lil weird

[u/Toon_Lucario]

The Calico M960

[u/Toon_Lucario → u/Toon_Lucario]

A gun design so strange that it became a Star Wars blaster by remaining pretty much completely unchanged minus adding a scope and some silver panels.

I'm partial to it's predecessor, the Toz-81 Mars. It can fire both shotgun shells and rifle rounds

[u/RoosterDangerfield → u/Regon2005]

These are survival guns for when crews would return and land in the wilderness.

[u/Dark_Crow22]

FG 42 my beloved

Where put mag

[u/Dark_Crow22 → u/Amaright1]

On the side

[u/Amaright1 → u/Dark_Crow22]

Ou

[u/specter-exe → u/Dark_Crow22]

That looks like something from Star Wars

[u/punmaster911 → u/specter-exe]

A lot of the blasters in Star Wars are built off of real-world firearms

That includes the Valken-38, which is built from the FG 42

[u/Redpower5]

I present a little something from my country, the prototype URZ (Univerzální Ruční Zbraň = Universal Hand Weapon)

Somehow both drum fed and belt fed

[u/MaxDickpower → u/Redpower5]

That drum is just a container for the belt.

[u/Breough]

Sterling prototype .308 also looks funky

[u/Photonicstorm]

Not sure is it counts, but i've always liked the look of the f2000 with a fixed scope.

[u/Amaright1 → u/Photonicstorm]

Looks straight out of a video game

[u/ANormalRando → u/Photonicstorm]

Gotta love the Tactical Tuna. Inspiration for Halo's MA5 assault rifle too.

[u/Gordon_freeman_real → u/ANormalRando]

Nope actually, the Halo Assault Rifle was already designed before the public got a look at the f2000, it was purely a coincidence

[u/FieryPheonix474]

Owen Gun my beloved

[u/Trungledor_44]

More of an accessory than a gun in its own right but this modern take on the krummlauf is certainly interesting

[u/Amaright1 → u/Trungledor_44]

Hmm I wonder how effective it actually is

[u/Thraex_Gladiator]

Chauchat-Ribeyrolles 1918

[u/RSCul8r]

My favorite BF1 primary: the RSC SMG

It was meant for tank crews and fires rifle rounds. It was considered too powerful for the purpose they wanted it for. I love running this thing with the obrez.

There’s actually kind of already one in Cyberpunk 2077 as the Darra Polytechnic DR-5 Nova

Ever heard of the G11?

It’s a sexy gun.

[u/V_Doge]

My favorite, NS2000.

Note : Upper are twin magazine tube and lower is single barrel. It is also pumped outward.

[u/BeanieGuitarGuy]

I fucking hate the Pancor Jackhammer is’s stupid and they barely even had a functioning prototype, you had to DISASSEMBLE PART OF THE GUN JUST TO RELO- omg AM180 I love that one. 😊

[u/Goblin_Kong]

The FN 2000 has a very futuristic cyberpunk looking design, or looks like a fish depending on who you ask
