We have the right to bear arms

But we probably wouldn't want to bear these.

Update: This one might be kind of interesting (a little hard to conceal, maybe).

Perhaps the Holder Armory & Export, Ltd could acquire some of these for export to the Mexican drug lords.

Granpaw had a pepperbox, but refused to even take it out of the case. Too damn dangerous, said the man who lived through the Ardenne in WWI.

Mojo: Then, when it comes to danger, I take your grandfather's word as definitive.

Regarding the Tesla gun:

Dunno why the Boys Anti-tank rifle is there. It's one of the best AT rifles of the 1930s (when most tanks were actually machine-gun armed tankettes).

8th Division men in Malaya knocked out numbers of Japanese tanks with it, and it was good at killing Japanese infantry in rubber plantations. You shot straight through the two-foot think treetrunk they took cover behind.

In the Desert war it could and did take out a Pz Mk II at 300 yards. Only with the Pz Mk III did it start to lag behind the armoured thickness. And even there it could pierce the side armour at 250 yards without much trouble.

I've fired one and the recoil's not too bad either. Bit worse than a Barrett but not much.
