Q 92 was no challenge for TennJeep. Let me see what else I can knock the dust of off. LOL
I can ease off for a while if I'm working you too hard.
Where are you getting all these questions? Also, I have an interesting one if you don't want to come up with another question right now.

Q 93 Lets try this one. What can you tell me about this multi-function piece? Other info: Everyone is welcome to post a question, just use the next number in sequence so we don't get mixed up and put the Q# on your answer if more then one is open at a time. I can't give my info sources because then you would know what rabbit hole to look in, LOL
Here it is:

Q 94. What is it and how was it significant to future firearm development?

WOW you nailed #93 real fast. thought that would have you for awhile.
Q 94 A: Brochart Automatic Pistol.
The Borchardt was the first commercially viable self-loading pistol. It was designed in 1893 by Hugo Borchardt, based on the toggle lock mechanism used in the Maxim machine gun that had been recently developed. It used a 7.62 x 25mm cartridge dimensionally identical to the later 7.63 Mauser round, but a bit more lightly loaded. The piece had an overall weight of 2.5 pounds. It was tested by a number of military forces, but not found suitable by any – it was simply too early of a design to be robust enough for military service.
Georg Luger was an employee of the firm producing Borchardt pistols (DWM), and refined the principles of the Borchardt to produce the iconic Parabellum pistol several years later.
Trigger is 3/4 circle. I wonder if you had to manually reset it?

Q 93 was so distinctive that it wasn't too difficult to track down.
You got Q 94 in a heartbeat! I didn't even notice the trigger, but you're probably right about having to manually reset it.
Q 95. What is it?
Q 95. What is it?
Oh come on... thats right in my wheelhouse
Interordnance / Daewoo USAS 12. 12 Guage shotgun with the 20 round drum shown in the picture. Stick mags are also available and more commonly seen.
We can buy 'em (the semi auto version), they require a 200 dollar stamp for a destructive device and last I checked you can have one for between 1500 and 3K depending on how many mags (drums are hard to get). I wish we could get the select fire version but no love there.
I WILL own one of these at some point

Q 95 goes to Ian! Very good! Let's see what else I can come up with.
Q 96. Not the best picture, but can you tell me what it is, what caliber and what country developed it?

Q 96 goes to Donkey! Well done, sir!
Q 97 What is it?
Ian gets Q 97! I'm done with questions for now. It seems that mine are too easy anyway.
