Utility!

"In case of a ground war, your bicycle will act as a machine gun."

That must be French. Anyone else would have pointed it forward.

I think the official French military manual states:

"while pedaling away in panic, press the trigger to randomly spray bullets behind you in an ineffective manner. While you may feel similar to a dog running away with its tail between its legs, this tactic has proven to slow the enemy advance due to excessive pointing and laughing. Furthermore, the gun's discharge will propel you faster in your heroic retreat"

Looks like someone took a 95 Winchester, turned it inside-out and flipped it upside down.

It is a Lee Navy converted to lever action

Didn't even think about the Lee Navy Rifle.
Interesting!

20mm

A unique feature of the weapon is the counter-recoil reactive tube or the back blast above the barrel. This tube funnels gasses from the cartridge out the back end, similar to that of a recoilless rifle or rocket launcher.

Hmm, if I knew more about how AKs vent gas that might be a cool experiment, crank up the gas coming out of the barrel and give it an exhaust somewhere in a beneficial direction. Then test reliability and fps at different settings. I know with the saiga 12 shotguns u can buy an "infinitely adjustable (it's not really infinite of course)" gas valve for around $20. It might not be that hard to do if someone was interested enough to put the time into it (including careful testing). On a 12 gauge it might not have that much loss in fps depending on what load u are using but only guessing. Add it to the someday/maybe/probably never project list ha ha. Probably wouldn't be as beneficial as the v6 muzzle break in the final accounting probably.

Well I just discovered a gun I had no idea it was even out there. I have never seen one until this morning checking out pics from the Ukraine. The rifle is a Ukrainian manufactured "Malyuk" bullpup assault rifle. It looks like it come in both AK calibers, 7.62x39 and 5.45x39.

Bullpups are unusual.

Bullpups?

Norinco 86S

Somewhere between 500-2000 made it into the US just before the AWB.

They sold for about $500. Today they go for between $3K to $5K
