The entire issue of the May/June 1979 American Handgunner magazine
is re-printed here, one scanned page at a time.


Note that Winter's SWAT pistol was to use a special new cartridge, .408 bullet diameter, similar in size and shape to the 41 Remington Magnum, but not at all interchangeable with that round.
The new .408 cartridge would be restricted for law-enforcement only and it would come with very special ammunition designed for urban combat.

Mysterious Chinese Shotguns -

Mr. Max Popenker shared this fascinating photo with me of two unknown Chinese, possibly prototype, shotguns. The top shotgun is fed from a box magazine and is select fire 🙂 It really like the sleek, almost H&K, styling. The bottom gun has multi-magazine feed system. I cannot figure out how it...

Chinese LW-3 shotgun, designed in 2010, talked about a little bit in 2012, and never seen since.
I guess they made a few prototypes / demo models.

P.S. Check out the 1911 type pistol grip, with the grip safety, even.

Don't need the make, model,
or caliber.
Just the name of this type of gun, reflecting its purpose.

Harpoon?

Harrington and Richardson "Line Throwing Gun". Uses a 45-70 blank to propel a rod attached to cordage that is housed in the cast aluminum canister under the barrel.

I've actually handled one at work (didn't get to fire it though)

Yep.

My dad was a firefighter and he had to fire a line throwing gun in practice and training back in the late 50s. I think he told me that it was based on an eight gauge shotgun, and nobody would ever fire it from their shoulder. They would put the butt of it on the ground, tip the gun at the correct angle, and then fire it.
