This monster of a gun is manufactured by German firm WTS Waffentechnik in Suhl GmbH. While it is technically a pistol, it weights just about the same as the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle!
The action is of a single shot design which requires the bolt to be removed in order to load another round. Two large lugs keep the bolt in place.
