A couple things that came in through the week…
First up, Mark Serbu (owner of Serbu Firearms) has a neat video comparing the ATI .22 cal StG44 copy to an original StG44:
Also, Leszek pointed out a neat piece up for sale on eBay – a Japanese Type 89 Rokuoh-Sha 35mm (Lewis Gun) camera. If you were interested in the Hythe Gun Camera we posted recently, this might be just the thing for you…

Snyderstreasures.com, a militaria dealer that specializes in one-off and high-end stuff (like Goering’s uniforms and Speer’s corkscrew), has a US gun camera for sale. It resembles a .30 Browning.
Sad that in Australia it’s classed as a prohibited weapon and I’d need to register it like one of my fully functioning bolt-action rifles. Which means it’d have to be squirreled away in a safe. What a shame.
I wish someone in the US would make an STG 44 copy or if we could get the German repro imported for less than $5000. 8mm Kurz is actually pretty easy to find, just need the gun that shoots it!
