The E-Shotgun, also referred to as the E-Gun, Northshore Sports Club CA-09, or the PD-90 Advanced Coilgun, is a hand-held automatic 9-stage coilgun designed by Lei Fengqiao and manufactured by China North Industries Group Corp in Xicheng District, Beijing, China (as well as "other technology teams"). In 2023, the CS/LW21 was commissioned by the Chinese government in order to "quell violent protests".

Not really a gun, but gun-adjacent. Early engines on aircraft (and other things) were often started using cartridges. These resembled a 4-gauge shotshell, but didn't contain any shot, just powder. When the pilot wanted to start the engine the cartridge would fire, driving a piston connected to a screw, which would rotate the engine for several revolutions. This was to avoid having to use a "pony engine', which worked fine on ground equipment but was too heavy for use on aircraft. This was later replaced by pneumatic and electric starters.

>>64033281Whaling guns are fascinating but the practice is stupid, because whale tastes bad. I've had it, at a high-end place. If you've ever had a nice tuna steak, you're missing nothing. Whale is significantly worse than tuna. It tastes like a stale fishy cut of landlubber meat.
no information on this one
>>64033458I've never had whale, but I don't think I'd base my opinion of it on a single tasting. Take tuna, for example. The cheap canned stuff smells like rotten cat food. It's beyond gross and disgusting. On the other hand, the premium canned stuff is god tier. It's the same with tuna sushi. The cheap stuff at an all you can eat buffet? Meh. Really good o-toro? god tier.

This is a really interesting piece. It's an old coach gun, which is not anything special on its own, but the odd thing is just how nice it is.

>>64034215Wait a minute, this predates the HSc? Then they abandoned it for the smaller frame? That's interesting. Larger yet harder to manufacture.
>>64033011>could have been a perfectly fine gimic gunWhy did they make it so shitty?
>>64033261No one adopted this after realizing that it would cause cranial fracture with brain hemorrhage in case some retarded Riot officer decided to shoot some idiot in the head with it.
>>64033988Always wanted one of those due to Black Ops 2. Apparently there are dozens of thousands of it in service already in Streetshittingstan.
Nagant Bramit device. Early suppressor, 1929.
>In 1929 the brothers V.G. and I.G. Mitin (ฮ.ฮ. Mะธัะธะฝ and ะ.ะ. Mะธัะธะฝ) applied for a patent under the name โRevolver for soundless shooting utilizing the principle of directing the bullet through washers of increased diameterโ.
>The revolver with the silencer device required cartridges of special construction. In the case of a standard revolver cartridge was a bullet of smaller diameter (probably 5.6 or 6.35 mm) backed by a special washer (sabot). The additional muzzle cylinder mounted on the muzzle of the gun had an opening corresponding to the caliber of the bullet small enough to catch washer. When shooting the bullet with the washer moves through the barrel, but was then caught in the supplemental cylinder. The washer plugged the exit through the supplimental cylinder and the gas was retained in the volume of the barrel. This hopefully blocked the exit of powder gasses.
>During the return of the cylinder of the revolver to retracted position, the cooled powder gasses escape, making no noise. On the next shot, during the hammer cock both the revolver cylinder and the supplemental cylinder move through 1/7 revolution. After firing all seven cartridges in the revolver, the shooter had to empty the spent cartridges from the cylinder and the washers from the supplemental cylinder.
>The patent was obtained for the soundless revolver on 28 February 1931.
>>64034399Later Bramit devices
>Later the Mitin brothers designed an expansion type silencer device. This later BRAMIT device was a silencer of the expansion type and consisted of a hollow cylinder which was mounted on the barrel of the revolver. Inside the cylinder were nine rubber seals of about 8 mm thickness. This model of BRAMIT had 10 expansion chambers and simultaneously serveds as a flash hider. The construction of the device using rubber seals didnโt permit the use of standard cartridges. Passing through it, a bullet with a blunt noses lost stability and severly reduced accuracy even at short ranges. As a result of this, special bullets were designed for use with the BRAMIT device. These had butllets in these cartridges had pointed tips.>The revolver with the BRAMIT device was supposed to be used by special agents. Similar revolvers, for example, were used as weapons by the NKVD, CMERSH and saboteurs, thrown in the rear of German troops during the Second World War. The BRAMIT device was produced at the Tula Weapons Factory in small batches. It didn't get a lot of real use due to problems with its short effective range.>The Mitin brothers also designed a BRAMIT device designated for use in conjunction with the model 1891 rifle. The device consists of a cylinder of 32mm diameter and length of 140mm, with the middle part divided into 2 chambers. Each chamber is closed with a seal - cylindrical construction of soft rubber of 15mm thickness.https://gunboards.com/threads/bramit-device-nagant-silencer.36263

Rare variant of the Day's Patent truncheon with steel barrel & skull top.
This also looks like a smaller caliber than usual, but that might be my eyes playing tricks on me. Perhaps this is in a rifle caliber rather than the usual brass-barreled shotgun version?

Random q, do you prefer curiosities and antiquities in the same thread, or separate? We did a set of dedicated "bespoke" threads in January that went well.
Either way works fine, but posting works of art alongside soviet trashfires and cursed guns is a bit unconventional.
