    I read somewhere that the “grenade launcher” actually is a 12 gauges shotgun!

    single round! :)

    The stock from the last pic was lifted by EA and used in the newest Army of Two game.

    Wow, EA must’ve seen these, because the Rusty Stock in Army of 2 the 40th Day looks exactly like the stock on the last carbine pic, including the bolt handle on the folding mechanism.

    This is a perfect example on why not to underestimate a opponent…despite you having artillery, tanks, bombers, and ICBMs. Human tenacity and resourcefulness ultimately prevail over superior technology.

    The grenade launcher even appears to have a safety (the semicircular notched pivoting piece.) That’s pretty thoughtful…wonder if they figured that one out the hard way, with no trigger guard.

    I kinda like the over-and-under pistol, in an asthetic way.

    The carbine’s something else. Based on a Spanish Destroyer perhaps? Hooded front sight, tangent rear, and a fifteen-plus-one capacity, what’s not to like?
