Compact 40mm Grenade Pistol

A number of DIY guns were recovered by the Philippines army after the the rebel siege of the southern city of Zamboanga. They include 40mm grenade pistols, a gun vaguely patterned after an M4 and a Mac-10 clone.

While only bearing on a slight resemblance to the real thing, this does appear to have an AR-15-style buffer tube.

A high quality MAC-10 clone (not Mini Uzi) made with stamped metal (like the real item)

Many thanks to Mike for the photos.
