#MilkorMGL

Welcome to our Image of the Day feature! Except we call it Photo Of The Day. Here at TFB each day we showcase at least one stunning image that captures the beauty of our world of firearms. Above you see a U.S. Marine Corps fire team leader as he provides cover fire at Range 410A with his Heckler & Koch. The lower clearly says Heckler & Koch GmbH, Made in Germany. There’s also a sticker that says M38 SDMR.

There’s a whole class of revolvers out there that are, in their smaller caliber forms, derided for their poor build quality and questionable ergonomics, yet in their largest forms, revered as some of the most combat-proven multi-shot destructive devices available.  Add to that the dubious honor of being a named firearm on many of the “Assault Weapons” bans of the 1990’s and you have an interesting facet of firearms history.  Today on Wheelgun Wednesday, we will be looking at the revolving shotguns, pistols, rifles, and grenade launchers that have pre-wound spring-driven cylinders.

Photo Of The Day – In the pictures, we are located at the military training area in Bruckneudorf (Austria) where soldiers of the army school are busy testing new weapons.
