A collection of hand-made weapons seized by the Russian army and police in Chechnya.



Am I bad for finding this gun downright badass, and quite possibly sexy as hell at the same time? Though I'm still trying to figure out if it's a muzzleloader or if that forward cylinder actually houses some kind of improvised clip.

It looks like the mid-section is a twist lock.

I'd bet breech load zip gun. Twist the two sections apart, put in bullet, twist back together, cock and fire.

Actually looks to me like a grenade launcher, the M203 (http://www.m203.com/) of the Chechnya Ghetto.

Many early rifles have/had grenade launcher attachments, where you'd fire blanks to propel the grenade out of the holder in the end of the barrel (you can get modifiers for MilSurp rifles like SKSs so you can lauch tennis balls with them instead, just for shits & giggles). Might be something like that...

And yeah, kinda steampunk looking. You would have liked the cake stand at the wedding we just went to- steampunk multi-level pipe cake stand, hooked up to a fog machine for steam vents, and with built in lighting.
