Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Why bother spending £10's of thousands of pounds on the required materials and machinery when you can buy a 'real' pistol for <£500 from the local scumbag? emrolleyes

I was offered a very nice WW2 .38 Webley revolver the other day...excellent condition, nice blued finish, looked almost unused.
Seller was asking £75.
He sold it later in the day for less than £20; with about 70 rds of ammo chucked in...!!!

The above "£" values may be slightly off by a guinea or two, had to do rough conversion from SweKr


As usual the media will be making much of this non-story.
It's long been the case that one of the best ways to obtain a gun is to build a basic single shot type & use it to take a gun from a better armed state employee - i.e. OSS Liberator pistol, pipe/zip gun, etc.

Why is nobody making these in straight pull? judging by the number of AKs around I reckon it could be a nice little earner...

A blowback, open-bolt design?

Do away with the gas blowback nonsense, straight-pull open bolt, what could go wrong... :D
