The only possible use I can think of for that weapon is as a basis for some sort of B scifi movie prop gun.  That's about it.

Nope.. but it does remind me of something Aimless may buy to get around the safe act.

The Crossfire.


There is a guy on Texas Guntrader that lists one of these a couple times every year or so,  He asks around 7K.

That's what I was expecting to see when I opened the thread.

And yeah I know the French ones weren't quite as sucky as the ones the AEF used, but that doesn't mitigate how terrible the ones the US troops got were.

I thought that was going to be the focus of this thread. Until I wandered in.

I remember that in American Survival Guide and various gun rags back around 1996 or 1997.....can be certain the exact year. It was supposed to be great idea for a police carbine/shotgun for the Hoplophobic Police Departments and Brass as well as civilians living in the US who could not get or legally acquire BLACK RIFLES.

Strictly from an engineering perspective, I'd say its actually pretty novel, and would bet that to get the actions to work correctly with the selector took a bit of work.  The butt stock magazine is also a neat feature.

But in aesthetics and execution, it comes up far short.   Just because its a good idea, doesn't mean you should build it, nor would anyone really want it.

Back when I was first getting into guns I wrote a story where the main characters favorite gun was called the Close In Weapon Mk 1. Essentially it was a PPS-43 submachine gun bolted to the top of an Ithaca 37. Glad I know more about guns now and I give my characters somewhat more practical weapons. But even that sounds like a more practical weapon that this contraption. I mean, you have to send it back to the factory to have it cleaned!?

There was a guy trying to sell one of those things at the local shows here for years. Guess someone bought it or he gave up.
