Q111 answer:
Winchester model 59. It appeared in Guns magazine May, 1960.

You got it. That Mdl 59, 12ga, semi-auto alum rec, with a metal barrel .020 thick and then it was "glass" wrapped! First gun to offer interchangeable WinChokes too.

Q 112. What is it and what is the most distinctive feature?

 

[TennJeep1618]

Any clues?? I dont know how yall find the answers to these questions..

Answers come from personal exp. Net searches using part of the questions is most often used. Also searching images by type firearm to find the same or like Image of the firearm. Good luck.

I have searched for keywords describing distinctive features of the firearm and had pretty good results. For example, I searched for "spur trigger revolver" for Q92 (http://gulfcoastgunforum.com/showthread.php?1172-Firearms-Trivia-Thread&p=74312&viewfull=1#post74312) as a starting point. It started me in the right direction, then I started matching features with the search results and the Q 92 picture.

I haven't looked it up, but it looks like it has a blow back slide like a pistol..

It does have a slide, in a manner of speaking. And I could be wrong, but from knowledge base(my brain) there are differences in the operation of this firearm vs. a normal blowback. In any case, there is a word (phrase?) that better describes the operation of this firearm.

Q112 Answer:

You got it, dirtyharry! Not only was it the first 12 gauge auto, it was the first inertia driven semi-auto shotgun.

That was a great trivia question. I have never seen that before. Very interesting firearm.

 

[TennJeep1618]

Here is a video of it being shot. Interesting for sure.

Q 113. This one ought to be super easy, but I thought it was cool. List the name, caliber and who designed it.

Hint: Apparently this appeared in a fairly recent movie that I haven't watched.

At first I thoght it was a slaughter house gun. But it is a The Glove Gun —- Sedgley OSS .38. Fired by punching the target. There is even a Mitten version. More at link:

A slaughter house gun. Cal 45ACP.

No sir, but an interesting idea. Aren't captive bolt guns used in slaughterhouses?
