    I've developed a hankering for a Steyr Hanh Semi auto pistol.
    It's a weird looking yoke in 9x23mm, with a integral box mag fed by stripper clips.

    I have to admit, I wouldn't mind a Walther SSP :

    Or a Matchguns Mg2 :

    But the most likely new gun on my horizon right now is probably the new Walther LG400 :

    They might not be very old, but I think they qualify for the 'wierd' title :D

    I reckon a .22 Gatling gun (if one is even made anywhere). As it is not a self loader it should be unrestricted, provided the magazine capacity is below 10 (someone is bound to have made either a belt fed one or I do know that they made ones with hoppers, which could be designed to hold less than 10 and a second crew man could pour them in). It would be great crack bunny bashing or on a range and not overly expensive.

    I don't know if they even exist or if they do the cost is probably crazy but it would be great fun to own one.

    The de lisle carbine, nice choice , there is or was a company in the us who made a conversion kit for the lee's.

    Another pistol i would like is the welrod , used by special forces during ww2. Rumour is it is still used for its original intended purpose.

    ^^ I'd love one of these for .22 mags for dispatching vermin in traps. I have to use a .22lr that has a scope. It gets very difficult at close range due to wire mesh etc..

    ^^ As for the SVD Dragunov....... drooling-homer-simpson1-jpg.23565

    Stateside,its classified as a flick knife.So if you are serving military personel or law enforcement,it can be aquired.
    Mad yoke to play with,but very much an up close and personal last ditch 007 toy,and not much use if you miss!!!.

    Better off with one of these.:D


    awesome_knife.jpg At least you can still poke whatever is attacking you after you have missed 6times with the non existant barrel or sights.:D

    One of our club members has the SIA .45cal De Lisle carbine with a working moderator. Sadly for us, it costs around £2750 or so - even the fake wooden storage box it comes in is a £250 extra.

    i like the odd lee enfield stuff (have a L42 already) id prefere a conversion kit than a full rifle.
    if i were able to get a kit, where does the law stand on installing the kit to an existing firearm?

    The same as licencing a sako quad or blaser with a spare barrel i'd imagine, though the calibre (.45acp) would mean its restricted even though it has far less muzzle energy than the original non restricted .303 :rolleyes:.
