The 10 Coolest Guns You Probably Didn't Know Existed | OutdoorHub

I knew 4 of them but the Luger rifle is interesting.

Considering this is Ingo, the title should probably read "10 guns you probably didn't know you wanted"

 

[OakRiver]

Nice read, there were 4 I knew of in that link as well (AN-94, G11, XM25, Jackhammer,

 

[joncon]

Only ones I'd heard of was the LeMat and American 180

 

[KellyinAvon]

I knew the LeMat, AN-94 and the XM-109. I didn't know the 1928 Thompson and the Lewis Gun had a love child and named it the American 180.

What good is a submachine gun that fires .22lr?

You'd be surprised. I saw one demonstrated as a SWAT entry tool some years ago at the Soldier of Fortune Convention. They set up a pile of cinder blocks to represent a wall. The guy opened fire with the 180 which vaporized the blocks into gravel in about three seconds.

It was impressive as hell.

 

[Liberty Sanders]

Weren't LeMats more like .42 caliber?

You, Sir, should receive a warning from the mods for even asking that question.

Squirrel Zombie Apocalypse......

I believe you are thinking about the cylinder, which was .44 caliber. They were referring to the single side barrel, next to the .20 gauge barrel. Not all versions had this extra barrel. Most just had the .44 caliber cylinder and the .20 gauge barrel.

Only one I didn't know about was the CS5.

That first Russian one wasn't the only crazy design they came up with. There's a whole lot of weird AK-based weapons the Soviets toyed around with, some even stranger than that one.

I'd really hate to get shot by that XM-109. Not that there would be much left after impact.

 

[MrSmitty]

I knew the LeMat, AN-94 and the XM-109. I didn't know the 1928 Thompson and the Lewis Gun had a love child and named it the American 180.

As I have heard it, the AM 180 was tried by the SEALs(?) as the .22 could be kept on target, longer than a more powerful round. In full auto supposedly

 

[churchmouse]

I will have 1 of each please.

 

[pharmboy]

I've got a LeMat Replica...for ease of use they scaled it up to .44 caliber for the cylinder. The central barrel remains a 20 gauge.

 

[CathyInBlue]

I knew of the LaMat and the Barrett 109, but now I'm intrigued by the G11. Caseless, you say?

Mini gun would be cheaper to feed nowadays

 

[CathyInBlue]

I'd really hate to get shot by that XM-109. Not that there would be much left after impact.

It's an anti-materiel rifle. The Geneva Convention disallows its direct use on personnel. Of course, you see that battle rifle that soldier is carrying? That's materiel. Aim for that.

Just found this.
There is even a red dot on it.
