Ever daydream about a totally impractical, never going to happen (mechanically, legally, or whatever), firearm, because, well, routine work, boredom, or good old mental masturbation? If so, do share!
A few that crossed my mind today whilst running systems tests on this dreary December day:
Number One
Picture a Lewis gun. Now shrink it down to carbine size and chamber it in .44 Magnum. Replace the cooling jacket with an integrated silencer. Retain the pan feed mechanism so it will run with rimmed cartridges.
Number Two
Picture a Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer. Now make it modern, stainless steel, in .357 Sig, with a 32-round magazine, and gorgeous wood furniture.
Number Three
A lever-action 40㎜ grenade launcher. Because, well, the mental image.
Number Four
A lever-action rifle chambered in something .50 that doesn't cost an insane amount of money. OK, that one was a bridge too far.
How 'bout you wacky friends?
