Let’s play the “What is it?” game!

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

Ok dad found a vid of this and can’t identify it or tell me where he saw it. Any ideas what it is?

Here's the video with that image as a teaser, but the "gun" above is not one of the five guns featured as the "best survival rimfire rifles."

I think that image is a fake: AI or otherwise CGI created. It was done just as a teaser, clickbait, to get people to click and watch the
stupidass worthless video.

Not a real gun.

Here's a REAL challenge:

IDENTIFY the fat cartridge in the middle.

I took these pics.
The mystery round is the one
in between a .223 and a .308 (handloaded using a 7.62 NATO case.)

I am going to say it is the 38-55 Win or one of it's offspring.

 

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

Hmmm... that's close.

I'mma say "not close enough" because the cartridge I pictured is not a variation of the .38-55. They do not come from the same parent case. The difference is more than just the .38-55 being considered a "straight walled" case and the one I showed is classified as a "necked" cartridge.

They are ballistically very similar,
are both from the same era in history,
and I believe they were used in the same types of firearms for the same purposes.

Dutch .43 Beaumont?

 

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

No, but the .43 x 52 Beaumont is pretty darn close. Nobody could tell them apart just by looking at a picture of that cartridge alone or even compared to .223 or .308 bullet cartridges.

( perhaps if you had a side-by-side pic with that one and the cartridge I have issued as a challenge, then you might discern a difference)


I'll add that this is not a .43 Egyptian, either.

It's I think 11.15x58R Werndl or 10.8x47R Martini-Henry

 

[CTS Tactical]

9X53R

 

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

It's I think 11.15x58R Werndl or 10.8x47R Martini-Henry

Nope, and
"closer, but still nope."

 

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

9X53R

No, that's based on the 7.62 x 54R case,
and the one I'm showing uses a fatter case.
