Guns 'n' Stuff

F-18 Super Hornet.

A large single-action revolver that is usually chambered in magnum calibers. This particular example uses the 50 AE, a caliber usually seen only with the Desert Eagle. Freedom Arms doesn’t seem to list the 50 AE as one of their options, so its possible they discontinued the 83 in this chambering. Kind of odd to see a revolver with a holographic sight. (GRH)

One of the most famous examples of a Beretta pistol in pop culture, the Samurai Edge was the custom model issued to the members of S.T.A.R.S from the Resident Evil series. The owner/seller created a faithful reproduction of the pistol with an actual firearm, this one isn’t an airsoft gun. As well done a build as it is, I don’t know if their asking price is even reflective of what it would take to recreate this. What are they asking for this pistol? About $7,000…so I’m sure someone out there will attempt to do their own version at a fraction of the cost. (GRH)

From the same guy who makes the Metro: 2033 Duplet shotgun prop, he also offers a modular Pipe Revolver prop from Fallout 4. You can buy the base revolver then additional kits to outfit it into different configurations that you could build in-game. Not a real gun but it seems to be a viable design to recreating in real life, but I would be hesitant to fire one. (GRH)

An oddball pump-action 12 gauge shotgun, the SAS-12 is part of the SPAS-12 family. They share a fair number of parts in terms of compatibility. In spite being called the SAS-12, it doesn’t mean “Semi-Auto Shotgun”; that function goes to its counterparts, the LAW-12, SPAS-12 and SPAS-15. These are very rare in the U.S but because they lack the pop culture fame of the SPAS-12, their prices are rarely ever more than $700. (GRH)

Although most former Communist state Makarovs are generally cheap surplus, this example is a very rare German built pistol. What makes it so sought after is the low production numbers. Some debate exists as to how many were produced and imported but its estimated only 300 exist. They were sold for only about 2 months back in 1997 before importation ended. You can see the Simon Suhl marks on the slide but very early models were marked Simon Suhl/Thur. (GRH)

I’m trying to figure out why even put an AR-15 carry handle on a Saiga since the rear sight is too high for the front sight. Maybe it does work but maybe it doesn’t and that’s why the owner is selling it cause he/she can’t hit their target? Truthfully I kind of like the way it looks but I’d want to be able to use my sights since even a side-mounted Russian optic wouldn’t work with the carry handle in the way. (GRH)
