Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? An AR hand grip, and Judge by the nag catch. I'm guessing a M11/9 mag. But WTH is on the top?

It's an early Red Dot Sight

Reminds me of this...

About 6 months ago on gun deals one company was selling a revolving Flare launcher (I think it was 25mm polish model) that reminds me of that. It was around $1500 as I recall.

Edit: found it RGA-86 Polish 15-Shot 26.5mm Rotary Flare Launcher - $1499.93 (add tocart) ($12.99 Flat S/H on Firearms)



Edit again, looks similar to 25mm gas grenade gun used in dogs of war movie:

One more gattler….so we're all aware of this cute little kite, right?



Probably one of the best executions of "ground support" ever devised.
Known for its toughness, but also....its gun...The Gau-8 Rotary Cannon.
I believe its one of the largest, if not THE largest, of its type in existence....but what does that mean?
Its in an airplane, it can't be THAT big.....can it?
Maybe this will put things into prospective......



That's no trick photo. An actual VW Beetle (either 1965 or 1966) next to an actual General Electric GAU-8 Rotary Cannon...straight out of an A-10.
A "Pocket pistol" this ain't!

Soviet space station gun from 1970s. Only gun that has been fired in space (that we know of). Was mounted in manned spy station. It was fired to test fire, taking out an old soviet satellite.

Remembering That Time the Soviet Union Shot a Top-Secret Space Cannon While in Orbit

In 1975, the USSR fired a cannon from an orbiting space station. We finally got a good look at the gun.

I've only seen one in person and it was an interesting idea and this one is the vec-91 with caseless cartridges.
