UZI Talk - UZI History

Uzi Grenade Launcher barrel adapter

Hi Guys, Could you guys help me with the history of this UZI Grenade launcher barrel adapter I have. I can't find much information on this and would like to get some history behind of this part. It looks like it slips over the shorter length barrel of the UZI and tightens down with its own...

Double Barrel Knife Launcher for the M16 Assault Rifle. The two knives can be shot individually, or both at the same time. See the impact into a foam mat, a wooden board and a water melon.

The M1 TTB was an experiment for a tank with an unmanned turret from the early 1980s, using the 120mm before the adoption of the gun on the M1A1. After many years of storage outside, the tank is now finally getting some much-needed protection, but there's not enough left to film a proper Inside the Hatch. In previous years, the Army had a policy of removing components from vehicles before putting them into a museum, and the TTB was no exception. Here's your glimpse inside.

No sight for firing the grenade. Typically such grenades need a blank round of at least 5.56mm or larger to launch.

So either a joke or a fake

I suppose they don't make ducks like that anymore.

Its a so called punt gun, (a punt being a flat bottomed boat,) the muzzle loaded gun was filled with "shrapnel" and fixed into the boat on the lines of a naval cannon, there was no recoil as such the water absorbing it, it was aimed at a flock of ducks/geese alighting on the water in a group and then fired by having the trigger pulled with a cord.

In other words: Heavy Anti-Fowl Artillery.

During the First World War, rubber became a scarce commodity so the search began for its replacement.

Ah 10mm Auto - it's one better than 9mm.

This was on a rail fan site for some odd reason. Ram jet locomotive??? The engr would have both hands busy trying to switch in the yard with one of those! Actually it's part of "Project Pluto" which was for developing a nuclear powered ram jet engine in early cruise missiles. On paper it was good for 2300 MPH and was believed to be interception proof from air defenses at the time - early 60s.

But calmer heads prevailed due to concerns of all the radioactive exhaust floating around, and the project was cancelled.

This one seemed strange, too. I can't imagine firing it and not be in the middle of a camel rodeo.

 

[TIGREDELAIRE]

I do not, it must be to transport it, because if you shoot it from there, what a mess you will have to clean up of guts and blood, poor camel!
