The German cars are complicated but the actual repairs come down to replacing a component. British sports cars, especially my much beloved Triumph Spitfire, are just effing weird! My Dad was in the computer industry and worked with a lot of Brits in the 60's and 70's and this is how he described a British committee would work.

    The magazine is really quite interesting in that it has some of the benefits of both a belt and a magazine. If you load it correctly, the first round is available immediately, and there’s no complicated manual of arms just to get your fancy belt to feed the gun, at the same time it also has much higher capacity too just like a normal belt, but unfortunately it is limited unlike a normal belt.

      @@justforever96 in a pistol, I'd agree, but consider the design of this magazine in something like a SMG or PDW scale weapon, where you'd want a higher capacity-to-size ratio? If it can feed that type of weapon reliably (and I can't think of a reason why it couldn't), it might be worth the slightly more complex mag.

    I really like the shoulder stock for this one, its probably my favorite out of all the holster/shoulder stock pistols. It compacts down to be pretty much the same size as a regular holster, including the retractable metal thing. Plus it has the ridigty aspect too so it could be used as an effective shoulder stock. Not bad.

      @TheNinjaDC 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I guarantee it is easier to load, as there is no spring tension to deal with.
      That said, with a maglula style loading device, loading high, high capacity is extremely easy.
      I finally bit the bullet after getting a FNX 45, 15 round of 45 is great, until you have to load it.
      The downside of a maglula is your ammo bill will go up, lol.

    Sosso had a interesting idea with the use of sub assemblies and the use of a few stamped parts. If he had expanded on that to produce a handgun that could be made economically under war time conditions he might have had a significant weapon system.

    Is it just me, or does this gun have a really nice holster stock setup?

I'm not sure how good of a stock it would be to use but the concept is cool.

    I just don't understand the classification of a stocked pistol as a "Short barreled Rifle," and even if that did make sense, how in the hell does a shoulder stock make a pistol more dangerous? I kind of agree on a holster-stock generally doing neither role well, but for a large part, that's you're only option (The few that are NFA exempt, like the Inglis High-Power) but in every conceivable way, a shoulder stock makes a pistol less concealable, more secure (in terms of Retention) and better for Accurate fire, which pistols really suck at, without inordinate amounts of training, and practice. Which means more missed shots, and collateral damage, simply because of a senseless rule that calls a Pistol a Rifle, so manufacturers have to make up an "Arm Brace" that the ATF doesn't consider a "Shoulder Stock." Even though you can use it like one, the Arm Brace is designed for firing from the hip. Which is a rediculous, and more dangerous way to use a pistol. What exactly are they smoking at the ATF?

    The gun is overly complex, the magazine is not. I wonder why no one else ever made something similar. Simple, functional, advantageous, foolproof and innovative. In simple words, that's genius!

    such a funky design. that magazine looks like somebody was thinking along the lines of a belt fed pistol.. .......................Also is the Sosso, soso?

    With this kind of master of complications pistol is no wonder that Mussolini was caught alive! Twice!

    Gabbet-Fairfax Mars was a field howitzer converted into a pistol. This one is more like a WWI machine gun converted into a pistol.

    ok, its complicated and expensive, but its a very badass gun anyhow

    Something for a supervillain in a Bond movie, but def not something you issue in any numbers.. Btw, the chain mag could potentially save the length but results in a huge increase in thickness. Stechkin APS mags from 1950s hold 20 rounds of a slightly thicker Soviet 9mm but seem more compact this this.

    The pronunciation is good, but suffers the most common mistake of english people: you dont pronounce the double consonants. Its "Sos-so" but it sounds "soso".
    "Fàb-brica" sounds "fabrìca". Watch out for the stress.

    Brescia is just about 110 km away from the Swiss border, perhaps this helps to explain the complexity of this gun.

    Btw, this gun looks like a prototype of Desert Eagle. And the barrel looks like fictional Podbirin's gun from Red Heat

    In my younger days when I was dreaming up weapons I thought of pretty much that type of magazine, (which goes to show there are very few new ideas) but my idea was an assassins weapon & took live rounds from the left side & fed the spent cases into the right, so no evidence left behind.

    • @difficultinterest1582
      @difficultinterest1582 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lady Azkadelia sound idea however three problems. 1 practicality. how are you going to unload the Mag? and imagine the size it would be queit big and unwieldy. 2 Purpose. having the bullets stay in the gun would be pointless. Police can tell the size of a bullet by examining it as well as powder residue. 3 Usefulness. the gun would be to big to use and the you'll need a action specific to the gun as well but chainlink cases are noisy and very loud to operate. so in other words great idea but you'll have to make it work

      Yeah, as I said this was in my younger impractical days, lol.

      1. Same way you unload a revolver with a gate.
      2. Finger prints on the cases is why you want to retrieve the spent casings, also .38 special and .357 Magnum use the same bullet but have wildly differing muzzle energies.
      3. Many purpose built assassin firearms have been quite big take the 9mm firing Welrod or .45ACP firing De Lisle carbine for example, meanwhile putting a silencer on a regular hand gun massively lengthens it to where it's like a small carbine.

      Nanny would like a paper-wrapped bullet that comprises a signed, fingerprinted confession of intent from the pictured shooter. Idealists are delighted with fallible complexity, but outraged that evil intent is not viewed as self-evident because it is a gun.

    @keithmoore7390 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    a completely weird one for sure!! although, you'd think at least one military would have issued stocked pistols to aircrews, it seems to be a good option for a survival weapon? better than the AR-7 or the M-6 at least as to fighting off a capture team!!

    Where was '0' supposed to go? Who was supposed to get that one? Also, I wonder if King Em getting uno and Mussolini getting due was a little barb at 'Il Duce' from the manufacturer.

    Ian pulls a banana mag out of the pistol that has a chain drive conveyor belt system. I'm going 'WHAAAT'. Good show.
