the weapons industry is one of the best places to catch glimpses of the development of new and super interesting tech whether they're meant for the average gun collector or they're designed for police and military use guns these days are loaded with quirks today we're going to take a look at 10 of the coolest and quirkiest guns from the past present and future let's see what they've got
number 10 the boring company
not a flamethrower it would be great to work at a company where on a light work day you can just design and build a flamethrower the boring companies not a flamethrower isn't quite like the flamethrowers you've seen in footage from the wars of the 40s and 50s for those required operators to strap heavy gas tanks to their backs in order to use them the not a flamethrower has the build of a normal rifle all you have to do is load in a small propane tank available at any hardware store near you and pull the trigger now this isn't a military-grade flamethrower and you might be disappointed if you were expecting the destructive firepower of one but the good news is you don't have to worry too much about hurting yourself and anyone else if you take the necessary precautions and while we're not really sure what you would do with this thing it sure is fun if you can get your hands on one also elon musk says he isn't preparing a zombie apocalypse to sell he's not a flamethrower but we're just not sure how far we could trust him
number nine silencerco maxim9
audio engineering is a beautiful and complicated discipline and controlling the noise of a gun is one of the biggest challenges in that space for years the only way to do so was to lengthen the barrel of the gun and add a bulky suppressor to the fronts not only did the longer barrel impact the gun's performance but after doing all of that it could only get so far in eliminating gun noise integral suppression was the answer and silencerco's maxim 9 is one of the best integrally suppressed pistols you can get quieter than a whisper and easily carried in a holster or bag and its length can be shortened even further out of the gates the maxim 9 is a major step forward in gun noise suppression and it brings us closer to the goal of a totally silent weapon
number eight mc carbine
have you ever looked at your glock 19 and wished it was a carbine rifle you could look for a genie's lamp or you could pick an mc carbine converting a pistol into a light rifle in a few simple steps sounds like a magic trick but who would have thought magic could be so easy along with the frame you get a stabilizer and a stock included but both can be changed easily enough you don't get a sight but there is a rail for you to mount your own site all this put together gives the mc carbine a level of customization that allows your glock to be something so much more than it was out of the factory
number seven corner shots
the corner shot is an accessory that's absolutely vital to police officers soldiers and any other people who find themselves confronting active shooters invented by amos golan of the israeli defense forces the corner shot is an example of simple genius the front of the corner shot has a camera and flashlight and the service weapon goes into the front of the accessory at the butt from where the corner shot would be held as a trigger a camera screen and controls and the key trick of the corner shot is that it folds in the middle allowing operators to bend the corner shot around the corners and above cover using the camera the operator can see around the cover and the trigger allows them to shoot corner shots are used in 12 countries and the concept has been copied by many others and you have to respect the fact that it allows militaries and police services to do their jobs with a lot more safety
number six tracking point 338
shadow tracks x shooting from a distance is what rifles are all about but how many of them can reliably hit human sized targets at 1 400 yards that's what you get with shadow tracks 8 a rifle with extreme range that is great for target practice hunting or military use when dealing with a range like 1400 yards you need optics that would allow you to clearly track your target the shadowtrax8 comes with a rapidlock optics and fire control solution which has image stabilization and precise aiming guides to make sure you don't miss it can also be paired with a shot glass which allows the user to see clearly without any glint of the scope that would risk them getting stopped along with that this feature can allow shooting from behind objects and around corners not unlike a corner shot on top of all these fancy features the shadow tracks 8 also has night vision and camera recording capabilities is this the one rifle to rule them all it's a strong contender for the title no doubt
number 5 full conceal m3s concealed
carry just got to a whole new level the full concealed m3s is a glock 43 that doesn't just fold up it folds up into a footprint around the same size as a cell phone that might sound like a finicky proposition what if the trigger gets accidentally pulled not to worry because the gun is equipped with a folded trigger safety ensuring that you won't shoot yourself in the leg carrying this thing in your pocket that's right this gun can go right into your pocket the full conceal m3s is one pistol where you can leave your holster at home and say goodbye to waistband discomfort this is basically the ultimate pistol for your concealed carry and personal defense needs
number four korth super sports
from the man with no name to revolver ocelot years of cowboys in the media have shown that revolvers are just the coolest pistols the korth super sport happens to be cool even among revolvers its fully machined steel parts match beautifully with the wood and butt and the quality is just through the roof all the way you get a front and a rear sight both fully adjustable but the piece the resistance of this firearm is its trigger if you like caulking the hammer like a true bandit of the wild west you can fire single action if you'd rather shoot double action that option is there too you get great performance either way other customization options include cylinder changes and a picatinny rail for supported accessories when it comes to revolvers the quartz supersport truly is the complete package
number three scrc gatling gun
this one is a little different in that it isn't something you can pick up at your local gun store most gun manufacturers wouldn't do something as crazy as mash six sks rifles with 75 round drums into a homemade gatling gun this contraption consists of the six sks rifles loaded into a mechanism that spins as fast as you want and came with 6 75 round drums and 12 30 round magazines it was listed on gunbroker and the listing ended with no takers which we found surprising much like the not a flamethrower before there's no way to actually make use of this thing but it's nevertheless a curiosity that gun collectors would enjoy tinkering with
number 2 magpul fmg9
here's a gun that could be the ultimate in portable power a submachine gun that can be folded up and it's made out of polymer instead of metal light and rocking low profile when folded the fmg9 would have been a real boon to people who like to frequent the range as well as providing heavy firepower in a small package unfortunately the fmg9 in this form was never mass-produced and indeed never even left the prototype stage not all hope is lost though the magpul did release the fpg which realizes all the potential of the fmg-9 but as an airsoft gun they also unveiled the folding defensive carbine or fdc-9 and the folding defensive pistol the fdp-9 these two weapons are in development and are slated for release in 2022
number one mouser c96
for our last gun today we're going way back in time to a pistol that was manufactured from 1896 and his production ended in 1937. this is the mauser c96 whose most recognizable detail is the integral box magazine right in front of the trigger it was really popular in its time for packing serious power in a small package beating most other pistols in range and penetration that was a distinction it held onto until it was finally beaten by the equal iconic 357 magna because of its performance and easy to manufacture design the mauser became the hand-held kalashnikov of its time it was originally produced by germany and famously copied by spain and china the later of whom the gun is often associated with but besides them versions of the mauser were being produced all over the world some licensed and some not that raging popularity is what has made the mouser an iconic pistol that even casual gun fans of today would instantly recognize alright which of these guns do you think is the coolest
