A showcase of more recent additions to the main collection.
These are actually shots taken by a video camera (and a Mini-DV one, not HD) so sorry for blurriness and other disadvantages. By the way, these very shots may likely be used in one of the scenes of my upcoming feature film.
Note: This section makes me very nostalgic, so I think I'll leave it fully intact, without inserting photos of latter purchases or correcting the text.
So, I started collecting budget chinese airsoft guns and other toys (usually depicting real guns or just cool) in my childhood and don't stopped even now.
Those resulted in a complete hilarious mess which you can enjoy above. I hope it's "so bad it's good". :)
Here you can see all of those nightmares and I'm also very interested in identifying on which real weapons some of those based (if they're not based just on hallucinations by smoking something that groves only in China. :) ), so any suggestions invited.
Sorry for bad quality - my camera is for video and photos are usually small and not so cool. :(
So, here's the basic view of the collection:
Error creating thumbnail: File missingSawn-off Double-Barelled Shotgun - bought this because I really like Mad Max movies and Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead trilogy, as well as some other films where such a gun were used. As the shotgun in Mad Max it's based possibly on Savage/Stevens 311A Shotgun, but more likely a VG Bentley.Error creating thumbnail: File missingGood thing, fits the hand right and looks pretty well, though of course there are some inaccurate pr just bad made details (for example guard was very bad and broke out just in a few days. It's repaired now but only as a decoration). It's still good anyway and you can even load actual blanc from real gun if you extract actual 6mm barrells (which is quite simple and good function). (Bought on 28 of November 2011).Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlso notice - original Doom videogame used the same incorrect depiction of loading mechanism.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingYS:208 (Yesheng Toys) - mix of Walther PPK and SIG-Sauer P230 (or SIG-Sauer P232) - was frequently used and now looks terrible because of scratches and brokes: springer that returns part of the gun when it's loaded is absent, though it has realistic effect of being out of bullets; trigger guard is also mostly absent, though it can stand as a quick-draw modification if gun,for example, is hidden in the sleeve, but mostly it's still functioning. As said "what don't kills us makes us stonger". Magazine form reminiscent to Bersa Thunder 380 but it's not Bersa and not Astra Constable. It's also can be based on PSM pistol or FEG PA-63, but most likely it was based on unclear photo of one of those pistols.Error creating thumbnail: File missingOther side.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThere was also perfect-looking Cyma Sig Sauer Pro SP 2340 copy airsoft gun in my collection, but it's totally broken now. I've found only polypropylene package from it in the attic and, perhaps, trigger. :(.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingCOP 357 Derringer (Shuang Xiang P.05-1) - black cap (primitive pyrotechnic) gun. Functional parts rust and broken because of frequent using. Now mostly repaired using details from the other broken piston gun. Looks very good, but some details differ from original gun, most noticeable trigger. Though it can be considered as a customized COP 357 Derringer, when used (for example in the movies, as i'm also independent film-maker with some lack of expirience (thoudg, i was in a prop departament of one professional big budget movie). There are revolver-type cylinder, hidden in the gun, that fires with the help of 8 shot plastic disc cap (frequently nicknamed "piston" in post-soviet countries), each shot of which filled with pyrotechnic composition (potassium chlorate, red phosphorus, sand and glue). Those caps can be bought in 72 shots packages.Error creating thumbnail: File missingOther side. Rubber is fixing part which, due to broke, can jump when shot is fired. :)Error creating thumbnail: File missingClose-up on marks.Error creating thumbnail: File missingClose-up on marks on the other side.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingDianhua 383 8-shooter - chinese cap revolver, without any real prototype. Was fitted with cylinder from another, broken cap gun, because original was not only broken, but also blue with red glass-like details (horrible, now partially used in COP 357 Derringer, where such a mechanism hidden). Aiming device is broken. Looks idiosyncratic, but has some style and charm, especially because of some details like barrel were painted gold and beacause of blue plates (very unusual).(bought in August of 2010).Error creating thumbnail: File missingOther side.Error creating thumbnail: File missingClose-up on marks.Error creating thumbnail: File missingDianhua in my hands.
That's not all, more soon.
Thanks for reading, watching, suggestions. --Kloga 21:08, 9 March 2011 (MSK)
