Gangsta Desert Eagle

This is just ridiculous! It is a tiger striped .50AE Desert Eagle

Anyone buying such a gun is trying to send a clear message. That message is “I am the greasiest and most tasteless pimp that ever graced the streets!”

Engraved MP5

This photo has been floating around the internet for quite a long time. I recently saw in on BoingBoing.

This little engraved MP5K is a machinenpistol produced in 1976, “designed at the request of HK South American sales rep, who saw a market for dignitary protection and increased firepower in a small package.” It comes with its own leather “briefcase” carry-case that allows for fast, machine-gun-kelly-style blasts from within the bag

TDI KRISS Super V XSMG .45 ACP Submachine Gun

Defense Review have tried out the soon to be released TDI KRISS Super V XSMG .45 ACP Submachine gun.

The gun has a very interesting design which makes it more controllable in full auto. They say it is a modern Thompson submachine gun and will compete with the H&K UMP 45.

Some facts about the KRISS

- Available in the first quarter 2008.

- 800 RPM cyclic rate

- Magazine initially 13 round. A 30 and 45/50 round magazine are in development.

- Weighs a little over five pounds

- A semi version will be offered to the public.

Real shooting Blunderbuss

A blunderbuss is a muzzle-loading firearm with a flared, trumpet-like barrel which discharges lead shot upon firing. It is the predecessor to the shotgun.

The term blunderbuss is of Dutch origin namely donderbus, a combination of the Dutch terms donder (thunder) and bus (gun).

From Wikipedia

This company makes real shooting blunderbuss”

Photos of firearms being destroyed

We have all seen the photo, I can’t remember where it was taken, of guns lined up on a road ready to be crushed by a steam roller. I always feel sad looking at the destruction of firearms. It is usually the old guns that would be valued by collectors around the world that are surrendered, not the military style semi/automatic used by the militants and war lords. I have been reading the long 196 page South Pacific Small Arms Survey, which I am going to write a blog post about. Here are some photos of firearms being destroyed in the Solomon Islands.

This photo shows the dumping of 2000 firearms into the sea off the capital of the Solomon Islands, Honiara, in June 2002:

This photo appears to show the stocks being burnt in the Solomon Islands in June 2002:

Picture 17

I support the disarming of the militants in the Solomon Islands who are destroying the country, just as I support the disarming and elimination of the militants and war lords in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is the disarming of civilians that I find worrying. The below photo is a Solomon Island militant:
