Coolest/greatest Gun: with a twist

The Volcano guns come to mind. I wish someone made a modern version. It's replacement, the real Henry also comes to mind.

Another, much easier to get ahold of guns would be combination guns. I know Stevens/Savage and Winchester made them. Shotgun and rifle in one.

I can't remember what the shop is but there's a company putting out .50 AE lever actions. They are a couple grand though.

Very true. I would love to holds volcano.
 
Are you guys thinking of the "Volcanic"?
I can find no reference to a "Volcano".
Bummer, I thought there was a weirdo out there I'd missed.:(
 
Yep, the Volcanic. Got the name messed up. I drool over those guns every time I look through my Winchester books.

I can't remember the name of the actions but there was once a cap and ball rifle that was a repeater. It had a block that moved downward. I want to say it held 4 or 5 shots.
 
good call on the "nagant" relover. I am very surprised that concept hasn't been duplicated. even if it didn't end up making that much of a difference, the gimmick factor lone would get the gun community buzzing. I think a lot people have misconceptions about gap bleeding and thinking it has considerable effects of velocity, although I disagree, that would b the perfect gun for those people. or the very few that would invest in silencing a revolver. regardless, neat design and one of a kind as far as I know, I would like to see it duplicated one day, you could even pitch it as being safer, no burns to your thumbs/whatever in an unconventional SD situation, and less blow back to the shooters eyeballs....

I once sht a .38 special up against a folded blanket, the cylinder gap escape burned though five ayers of a thick cotton blanket, the gas escape is more violent than I would have thought, although I don't believe it to detrimental to velocity over a closed system. what is it, like 25-35 FPS?
 
Daisy's V/L, caseless 22. Sort of a cross between an air rifle and a firearm. At first they were ruled an air rifle I believe, but later was reclassified as a firearm and Daisy ceased production.

I almost bought one not too long ago. Gun looked like brand new, and came with a couple thousand rounds of the ammo.
 
The Bren Ten, hands down; no questions asked.

I like all things 10mm and Jackie likes it when I wear my loafers without socks, so it all ties together.
 
The Bren Ten is definitely cool, but where's the twist?

The Bren Ten and the Auto Mag were the coolest guns of the 80s....we all wanted them back then
 
How about the striker 12 gauge shotgun? It is quite possibly one of the most useless semi auto shotgun designs ever thought of.

It's actually not a bad self-defense shotgun - 12 rounds of 12 gauge in a fairly compact gun. It's not exactly a revolver and definitely not semi-auto - an interesting design that I thought could be incorporated into a more traditional revolver. The windup action actually permitted a lighter trigger and faster firing than with a traditional revolver.
 
It was a 12 gauge double action revolver. Pulling the trigger rotated the cylinder & cocked, then tripped the hammer.
IIRC trigger pull was measured in 10s of pounds because of the huge cylinder it had to turn.
 
What is it then? I was mainly basing my opinion off of what the youtube channel "Forgotten Weapons" thought of it. They were not particularly fond of it.

It was not a 12-gauge double-action revolver. It had a big spring where the cylinder is located. You wind up the spring making the cylinder spring loaded. The trigger did 2 things when pulled: It pulled back a striker that hit the firing pin; and 2) it released the spring loaded cylinder so that it could advance to the next chambered round. The trigger pull did not actually advance the cylinder as in a traditional revolver.

Actually, I'm not sure if it used an internal hammer or striker - the hammer definitely was not exposed, if it had one.
 
1902 Madsen LMG. Came out over a decade before the Browning BAR, and remained in service nearly unaltered to this day unlike that beast and many other LMGs

It's a single-shot semi auto.:D

I would have to say the AR-7 family, they are designed to be taken apart and stored in the stock and they float either assembled or stored.

Next would be the Kel Tec Sub 2000, a folding rifle designed to fire a pistol round using the same mags as a pistol.
