Seen at SayUncle. It gave me a good laugh!

Repeat after me “clips are used to hold cartridges together for quick loading, magazines are used to hold cartridges for feeding into the guns’ chamber” 
The best explanation of the differences that I could find is at The Gun Zone.
The terms are NOT interchangeable!
This is the first high quality photo I have seen of the 4th Generation Glock featuring the RTF2 (Rough Texture Frame 2). That fish gill serrations are awful.

I think 3rd gen glocks will be considered the “classic” and having an older one will be “cool”.
UPDATE: From the press release:
The G22 RTF2 (Rough Textured Frame version #2) has more than 4,000 raised pyramids on the front, rear and sides of the polymer receiver. The raised pyramids are also located on the thumb rests for increased grip traction. In addition, the slide on the G22 RTF2 has a new, modern look with crescent-shaped serrations located at the rear of the slide.
“We have already had several major agencies commit to the G22 RTF2 and have had an outpouring of interest from our Commercial and Law Enforcement distributors about our new product,” said Director of Sales Craig Dutton.
This one looks legit.

You were warned … This is the Frankenstein’s monster of early 20th Century American arms:
An M103 Springfield in an SBR (Short Barrel Rifle) configuration presumably converted to .45 ACP with a 1911 pistol grip being used as the magazine well.
It is hideous. Something only its mother could love!
Hat Tip: Хроники безумного Макса
A worker holds a variety of destroyed guns on December 12, 2008, in Sogamoso, Boyaca department, Colombia. An assortment of 25.000 weapons, seized to different groups that participated in the Colombian internal conflict, were incinerated.
Interesting two barrel pistols. Maybe shotgun conversions.

I saw this Хроники безумного Макса, the blog of Max Popenker who also runs the famous world.guns.ru.
The inscription says “U.S Army Special Forces Commemorative(?) Mac 10″.

I actually think it looks pretty classy, like that engraved MP5.
In case you are wondering, I cannot read Russian but I do subscribe to various overseas foreign language blogs.
What is cooler than a .50 BMG? A suppressed .50 BMG 
I found this photo on the Advanced Armament website. Click to expand
The Cyclops Suppressor
Wide variety of firearms!
Apparently these are Ogadeni minority tribespeople who are being killed by the majority tribes in Somalia. They arm themselves to keep from being slaughtered.

This Enfield would fire when enough water dripped (along the wire, I think) from the top can into the bottom can. It was used by the ANZAC forces at Gallipoli (WWI) to make the Turkish forces think they were still in the trenches while they were retreating.
Very clever. I want to make one! (With blanks, of course).

I was emailed this. It apparently was made in New Zealand but I do not have any other information. It uses a conventional zip gun design: a bolt in a tube with a threaded barrel.
What makes it interesting is that it looks like both barrels can be fired at once by pressing on or pulling down the rod (on the left side of the photo).

I didn’t know they used shot line adapters. When I saw the photo I thought he was using a suppressor.
PACIFIC OCEAN (March 24, 2008) Gunner’s Mate 3rd Class Aan J. Doscher, assigned to the dock landing ship USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49), fires an M-14 with a shot line adapter toward the Military Sealift Command combat stores ship USNS San Jose (T-AFS 7) during a refueling-at-sea. Harpers Ferry is assigned to the Essex Expeditionary Strike Group. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Joshua J. Wahl (Released)

The winners of the World Press Photo 2007 were announced in Amsterdam on 08 February 2008. “1st prize stories” of “People in the news” was awarded to Philippe Dudouit for “PKK fighters, Southern Kurdistan/Northern Iraq”.
This photo in particular is very interesting. The soldier is holding an M16 with an advanced sight!
The Turks have been accusing the US of not doing enough to prevent theft of firearms which they claim end up in the hands of the PKK. Although the US and other western nations has been known to work with branches of the PPK, it is very unlikely they would provide M16s which could be traced back to them.
When the photo was published I am sure some people were not too happy about it.
The rest of the photos are here. I especially like the last one which features a woman facing away with an AK slung over her back.
Very cool. I am not sure when it will be available. The long slide version is initially only be available in 9mm.

Hi, welcome to my gun blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. If you are into AR-15 and AK rifles, skeet shotguns, self defense pistols or hunting arms there will be something here for you. I hope you enjoy it.
I want this blog to appeal to a worldwide audience and so I will be focusing on firearms and shooting rather than country specific politics. There are already many great blogs defending your rights!
