Note about Wall's Gyrojet

Thought Wall's Gyrojet fires harpoon darts, it's not a Lancejet that looks different. Greg-Z (talk) 17:25, 7 August 2014 (EDT)

Another point about the Gyrojets, I do not think that the "pepperbox" is a genuine Gyrojet. Here is the only picture I can find of this variant, being help by the inventor Robert Mainhardt:

As you can see the real variant did have 12 barrels an alothough similar, is definitely different to gun used in the movie. If nothing else, the vast majority of Gyrojet guns were chambered in 13mm or 12mm, and this gun has much smaller barrels. It is possible that it could be 6mm, but I think this was only used for a few dozen experimental assault rifles that were given to the US army so I doubt it is that. Also, it seems to have a needless amount of metal around the barrels with too much space between them. The real version has barrels made from very thin metal and were tightly packed together, which was possible due to the fact that it had an incredibly low chamber pressure. Also, just pointing out that pedantically this isn't a pepperbox pistol, but instead is a volley pistol. The difference is that a pepperbox has barrels which rotate on a centre axis to fire in sequence, as opposed to this which fires all barrels at the same time. --commando552 (talk) 09:31, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

Bolomauser?

Thank you very, very much for doing a great piece on Murderers' Row. I believe Helm's AR-7 variation is a Hy Hunter Bolomauser, as the weapons in The Ambushers are Hunter AR-7 variants. I hope their are pieces on all the films in that great series.Foofbun (talk) 06:01, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

Well, I found out that I was wrong: Charter Arms started manufacturing of AR-7 only in 1973, so the screen gun cannot be Explorer II. But as Hy Hunter Bolomauser and Charter Arms Explorer II look just the same and both perfectly fit the screen gun, I think that we can keep the existing image with an addition that it's another but same looking gun. Thank you for clarification. Greg-Z (talk) 06:22, 8 August 2014 (EDT)
