Taurus Model 4510

This beastly hunk of steel is a revolver chambered in .410 2-1/2” shotshell and .45 Colt Ammunition is an interesting combo gun, giving you accurate .45 at range and a indomitable one hand blunderbuss at close range. this particular model has fixed rear sights and fiber optic front sites, its something I wouldn’t like to be on the wrong end of.

IZHMECH MP412 REX

The Russian double action revolver with a break open frame, currently becoming a household name from games such as Battlefeild 3 and Modern Warfare 3, was designated REX as it was intended to be a Revolver for EXport. It has an automatic ejector, so that when the frame is opened and the barrel is tipped fully downwards, the shells will eject from the cylinder. Such a shame that this beautiful revolver was never put into production. 

Colt Army Model 1860

A muzzle-loaded cap & ball .44-caliber revolver used during the american civil war,  this colt has always been a favourite of mine, along with 

Colt 1851 Navy Percussion’s, Remington 1858 New Army’s and the like, I think its because I remember the shape from older cowboy films. A single action revolver this would have needed to be cocked to fire, but being a .44, as long as you where accurate in your midday duel, you should only need one.

L1A1

The British variant of the FN FAL, here shown with its sensational wood parts, with a set of plastic parts aswell. These rifles where made by RSAF Enfeild, and Lithgow in Australia. These rifle where adopted after a breif period of using the EM2 Rifle chambered in .280in, something the Brits toyed with after WW2 to replace there .303 Lee Enfeild no4’s.

Often fielded with a Trilux sight, these rifles because knows as being “Soldier proof” during there serivce. One of my favourite rifles fielded by the British!

Rhodie Battle rifle boogaloo

Here seen with a selection of FN FAL’s in Rhodesian Camouflage, you can also see a HK G3 in the bottom right, also an FN MAG, M240 or GPMG depending on where you’re from, third back on the left. 

G3’s are inherently more accurate than there FAL competitors, but both are battle proven rifles, capable in the right hands.

On the topic of sniper rifles, or should i say counter sniper and/or anti material rifles…

The Steyr HS50

A single shot .50BMG rifle, apparently to be avalible in .460 Steyr (‘oooooo’) once the round is released. A friend of mine was able to fire one of these in the Falklands  and said the muzzle break is fantastic, he likened the recoil to “nothing more that that of an L85A2” 

I cant remember where I saw it, but I did see a post about this rifle asking about it. 

The Remington XM2010 ESR (Enhanced Sniper Rifle)

Derived from the current M24 sniper weapon system in service with the US Army, PEO Soldier developed these to replace the M24’s, changing the caliber to .300 Win Mag to add around 50% extra range onto the 7.62 Nato chambering of the M24A1.

Sporting a 24 inch free float hammer forged barrel, 1 in 10 inch twist and more 1913 rails than you can shake a stick at, its a step up in the sniper game from the older, but battle tested, M24 system.
