First off I would like to apologize to those of you who have sent me messages in the past and have not gotten a response. Alas, my e-mail provider re-did their web page and in the process I was wiped off their list. Please do e-mail me again if you are among those who have I have not responded to. It has been a long time since I have modified the page but I have recently updated with several new, higher quality pictures, as well as new data. I have also put stars next to some of the guns here. If you know how I could obtain any of the starred guns I would appreciate an e-mail. I hope you like my page and I always value any suggestions you might have to improve it. I would also appreciate it if you would send me any cool pictures you have that you would be willing to let me use. You can e-mail me at:
If you have ever seen one of these before you would probably never know it due to the extent of this one's modification. The barrel has been cut down along with the magazine making it an ideal undercover weapon. Its foregrip has been completely replaced with a (most-likely) custom-made and fit foregrip which is similar to that of a Winchester 1300 Youth/Ladies model in that when pumped, the pump actually overlaps the receiver. The only real drawback (besides its recoil of course) is that it only carries three rounds (four with one in the chamber).
Like the above Franchi this gun's barrel has been cut down to about 12" for the purpose of undercover work and concealability. It is a favorite of many Bounty Hunters, U.S. Marshals, and Witness Protection Agents. The magazine holds four 3" rounds plus one in the chamber making this a fierce weapon to contend with. This is also a personal favorite of mine.
This photo is of two Remington 870 12 gauge shotguns with police folding stocks replacing the original fixed wood stocks in order to increase their tactical ability. They are mostly favored by law enforcement in the Mid-Western and Southern U.S. Although most police agencies have an eight-shot extension on the magazine which these do not.
This is another personal favorite of mine. A Franchi SPAS-12 Dual Action shotgun with a folding stock. It is one of the most unique shotguns in the world due to its ability to fire not just in semi-auto mode, but also in pump action mode. This was created as a backup in case the gun jammed while firing. It is most known for movies like Jurassic Park and Beverly Hills Cop 2. It is an especially popular prop in Hollywood due to its "odd" appearance. In a lot of movies they have simply added on a barrel extension or other gadget in order to give the appearance of some sort of laser gun. Unfortunately in 1994 George "Turncoat" Bush banned it from import into the U.S. If you can find one of these used or find someone that is selling one, if you have about $1,000 dollars to throw around you should definitely buy it. It will probably be the only chance you get. (Check out the new and improved picture.)
This is a Mossberg 590 with a pistol grip and cut down barrel. Though this particular model has not seen much action in actual combat situations, it is still and excellent weapon. A few police agencies use it on the east coast but its usually only the departments that allow you to choose your own weapons whereupon you still need a Class-III license. Most police agencies in the U.S. favor Scattergun Technologies' customized Remington 870s though. Unfortunately this shotgun is a favorite of criminals because Mossbergs are readily available at a number of gun shops and they are not that expensive.
One of my newest additions, this is a Franchi SPAS-15 semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun. What makes this gun so unique is that it is one of the few in only a handful of box magazine fed shotguns. Made specifically to military specifications, this is the definition of a combat shotgun. It is also banned from import like the SPAS-12. The six-round box magazine is an idea that many gun makers have tried but most have failed. The military did not choose this weapon for its issue shotgun because one of the requirements of a U.S. Military shotgun is to be able to fire 3" rounds. And, though this gun does have a 3" chamber, there has been some problem with the magazine. Instead the military decided to go with the Benelli M1 Super 90 due to its higher versatility.
The Micro Uzi is most favored by terrorists and collectors alike. It is a pretty basic gun and there is not much to say about it. It originated in Israel and use to be used by the police and military there. Lately it has become obsolete in the law enforcement world and has been replaced by the Ingram MAC-10 and MAC-11. Though they are not as accurate they are cheaper, simpler and easier to operate, have a higher rate of fire, and are more reliable then the Uzi.
This gun has been a favorite of the Navy SEALS for about eleven years. Due to its reliability, durability, and accuracy it has become known world wide as one of the best of its breed. It holds 35 rounds of 9mm ammo and can be emptied in 4 seconds. Its calapsable stock and built in silencer make this an ideal weapon for CQB (Close Quarter Battle) and Hostage rescues. This one has two options of fire: semi-automatic and fully-automatic. Other variations have three round burst capabilities and just recently they released a two round burst version because they said by the time you reach the third shot on the three round burst, you are already to much out of control to aim accurately anymore.
This pistol was custom made for the Special Ops teams of the U.S. Military, many SWAT Teams, and the like around the world. Because of its size and barrel extension it also makes an exceptional short-range sniper pistol. It is ewuiped with a multifunctional targeting system which consists of a regular laser sight and also an infrared laser sight which can only be seen by those wearing night-vision goggles. The barrel is specially fit with a sound and flash suppressor making it an ideal "inconspicuous" weapon in sniper situations. It is most favored by special ops teams and L.R.R.P.s (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol).
This is one of my favorite if not my favorite handgun. What makes it so unique is its ability to fire three round bursts along with a normal semi-automatic mode. The little metal thingy coming off of the trigger guard/frame is a handle that was put there for greater controllability while using the gun in full auto mode. Other things to separate it from the Model 92F is the 20 round magazine instead of 15 rounds, and an extended, ported, barrel which was also put there for controlability. This is also a favorite of John Woo (film maker) as anyone who is a fan of his work knows. A heavily modified version of this was actually the gun used in the Robocop trilogy.
This is one of the most powerful semi-automatic handgun in the world today. It comes in a variety of calibers (all magnums) including the .357 Magnum, the .41 AE (Action Express), The .44 Magnum, and, last but definitely not least, the .50 Action Express. Its only competitor for power is the .454 Cassull, which is only available in revolvers. These handguns have a variety of capacities: the .357 holds 9 rounds, the .41 and .44 both hold 8, and the .50 holds 7 rounds. These handguns are also known for having the most finish and grip options. The finishes range all the way from regular blue to 24K gold plated, and the grips range from rubber to genuine pearl.
This is the least famous of the Glock production line. The reason being that it is only available to the military and police (and of course you lucky souls who own a Class-III license). This is because it is a full on machine pistol, decked out with a ported barrel, for greater control, a switch to go back and forth between full auto/semi auto, and a 33-round clip (the one pictured has a 17-round clip). It is quite an ammo eater to at a cyclic rate of about 1,100 rounds per minute. And unlike the Micro-Uzi this is not a terrorist weapon simply due to the price tag (don't have specific numbers). This is more of a precision instrument then a "spray-and-pray" machine pistol.
I generally wouldn't put this kind of weapon on my homepage because it is not really considered to be a small arm. It is more in the category of anti-aircraft weapons. However when I see something this sweet I just have to say something about it. This is a 20mm Vulcan cannon. It probably looks familiar from Terminator 2 when Arnold destroys all the cop cars with that spinning machine gun. That was actually a Minigun. The difference is simple: the Vulcan is 20mm while the Minigun is the smaller .30 caliber. The reason it is such a devastating weapon is because of the electronic firing mechanism. Unlike a normal machine gun which is usually either recoil operated or gas operated, the Minigun and Vulcan are operated by a motor that spins the six barrels at incredible rates all the while spitting out a rather generous number of shells. A normal tri-pod mounted belt-fed machine gun fire at a rate of about 600 or maybe even 1,000 cartridges per minute. You have seen them fire on documentaries on war and on quite a few Hollywood motion pictures as well. Now, imagine a gun that fires six times that in a minute (you will of course have to add five extra barrels but you get my point). The reason it's not widely used by the military is because at 6,000 rounds per minute you really begin to use up some ammo fast. It is however used by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines as an anti-tank (with armor piercing bullets of course), anti-missile, and anti-aircraft weapon. It is extremely effective as all three with the right type of ammunition. The Minigun is even sometimes used as an anti-personel weapon (rarely).
