Bul Handguns

Bul handguns will be distributed in the US by Charles Daly. They are made in Israel. DoubleTapper has more information on their use with the Fobus stock in Israel (which is not likely to be offered to civilians in the US)

These photo were taken by TalonArms.com at SHOT Show 2008.

Iran clones Israeli cornershot

Iran is one of those countries who are not happy when they are not copying weapons designed by other countries. The irony is that they have copied an Israeli weapon.

These grainy photos were taken from a video (see below).

There are a few parts that look different to the CornerShot such as the bottom of the front and the hinge. A lot of it looks the same. Compare with the original:

 Weapons Small Arms Corner Shot P3080127

More Photos of the original at israeli-weapons.com.

This youtube video is very bad quality. The original, in WMV format, is here.

The chinese also developed a corner shot type weapon, the HD66, but it looks very different to the Israeli and Iranian weapon. It is really a QSZ92 pistol mounted on the end of a submachine gun.
