Unique firearms

The story behind the development of original high-velocity small arms cartridges begins in Germany in the 1930s. The head of the company for the production of hunting rifles and carbines "Halger" was a well-known designer in Europe, Harold Gerlich. The main direction of work of Gerlich himself was the creation of a new rifle cartridge with the highest possible bullet speed. In the spring of 1930, Harold Gerlich announced that when firing from a rifle of his own design, caliber 7 millimeters, he received an initial bullet velocity of 1400 m / s and was confident in the possibility of increasing speeds above 1650 m / s. This information caused a heated controversy in the firearms press, and many prominent experts were rather skeptical of Gerlich's statement ...

"A guy held a knife to my throat and asked, Would you die for your family and friends?" once exclaimed a very renowned person. "No, but I would kill for them," I chuckled. Today's firearms are often used as a source of family pride, for safety and self-defense, as part of a collection, and not just for killing people. There are more than 160 different kinds of firearms in use today. There are a lot of firearms that are registered for personal use around the world, and it is impossible to estimate how many firearms are not registered. Some pistols and shotguns, though, are genuine pieces of art. We'll talk about them now.
