The PM9 was an unusual design in three different ways: it employed off-axis delayed blowback, it had a clock-style spiral mainspring similar to that of the Lewis gun, rather than the cylindrically-coiled spring used in the vast majority of self-loading firearms and, most unconventionally of all, used a rotating flywheel as a delaying mass in ...
The FN P90 uses the bullpup layout in conjunction with a unique top-mounted feeding system, making it the most compact submachine gun with a fixed stock. The bullpup design places the gun's action mechanism and magazine behind the trigger, and the receiver functionally serves as the buttstock with usually only a thin endplate, [5] making the ...
The gun itself is fixed to the upper part of the turret. Elevation of the gun is achieved by tilting the entire upper part of the turret. In conventional designs, the gun is mounted inside the one-piece turret by a trunnion, and its elevation is changed by tilting on that trunnion while the turret remains in fixed position relative to the hull.
While most improvised firearms are single-shot, multiple-shot versions are also encountered. The simplest multi-shot zip guns are derringer-like, and consist of a number of single-shot zip guns attached together. The pepper-box design is also used in homemade guns because it is relatively easy to make out of a bundle of pipes or a steel cylinder.
This is an extensive list of small arms—including pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, shotguns, battle rifles, assault rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, personal defense weapons, carbines, designated marksman rifles, multiple-barrel firearms, grenade launchers, underwater firearms, anti-tank rifles, anti-materiel rifles and any other variants.
This page lists more than 100 small arms designs which have been produced in numbers exceeding one million since the late 18th century. Many more types have been made in the hundreds of thousands. Many of the firearms on this list are military weapons which were used during both World Wars , so it is unsurprising that they were manufactured in ...
It has an unconventional design with a unique gun laying process: [6] [7] [8] it is turretless with a fixed gun traversed by engaging the tracks and elevated by adjusting the hull suspension. [5] The result was a very low-profile design with an emphasis on survivability and heightened crew protection level.
