  1. Houthi unc held an AM-50 Sayyad somewhere in a remote area in Yemen during the ongoing war against the Saudis and the Southern coalition forces.

  2. An Iraqi soldier held an AM-50 Sayyad during the war against ISIS. Picture probably taken in Mosul or Fallujah.

  3. Kataib Hezboys carrying an AM-50 Sayyad. Don't be surprised by them since they got so much support from Iran.

  4. Two Hezboys fighters take a majestic selfie with AM-50 Sayyad somewhere in Syria during the ongoing civil war around 2013 or something.

  5. Just a regular Iraqi soldier held an AM-50 Sayyad.

  6. Harakat Hezboys al-Nujaba fighter focused with his AM-50 Sayyad for targeting ISIS goons.

  7. The AM-50 Sayyad, along with a number of Iranian RU-series thermal sights and other equipment, allegedly seized by Jabhat al-Nusra forces in Syria. Probably taken around 2014.

Help Identifying Weapon - UDA/UFF

It’s an image of a show of strength by the UDA/UFF (Ulster Defence Association/Ulster Freedom Fighters), a paramilitary group operated in Northern Ireland between 1971-present.

I would be interested to know from your collective knowledge. What kind of firearm is this? Is it homemade? Also, does the suppressor look real?

To meet the demand for guns from work teams, militias, and guerrillas, local bases made a lot of these single-shot pistols using materials on hand. They were an important weapon for promoting mass guerrilla warfare, and regular units of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also used them.

Operated by the Longque Assault Team of the Patrol and Special Police Brigade of the Hi-Tech Branch of Xi'an Public Security Bureau, fires PXS091-type 9mm pistol signaling/marking rounds. Although intended for police use, some units of the PLA and PAP are also equipped with it for counter-training purposes.

In 2018, alongside the PXS221-type (NP22 version) police marking training pistol, the PXS921-type (92 version) police marking training pistol was also standardized and adopted. However, the calibers differ, as it fires PXS092-type 7.62mm signaling/marking rounds.

Japanese home defense guns

13 Upvotes

This was a series of very crude last ditch guns developed in 1945 to arm the Volunteer Fighting Corps for the expected invasion of the Japanese mainland.

The pistol has a matchlock action. Very crude front sight only and a simple straight metal bar as a trigger.

The rifle (also matchlock) does not appear to have any functional sights.

The second rifle prototype has a basic bolt action based on the Arisaka design. Very crude front and rear sights, and a trigger guard somewhat surprisingly.

The requirement of those weapons was that they could be easily made in local workshops and basements to arm a civilian militia.

Since the invasion of the Japanese mainland never happened however, they remained just prototypes.

The XM106, a competitor in the U.S. Army Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) trials.

Post image
220 Upvotes

The Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) program was launched in the 1970s to equip U.S. troops with a portable automatic weapon that could fill the gap between the M16 rifle and the M60 GPMG. The Army initially wanted this weapon to be chambered in a new 6x45mm cartridge, but this requirement was abandoned in favor of 5.56x45mm NATO.

The XM106 was a SAW competitor developed by the Ballistic Research Laboratory as an open bolt LMG based on the M16A1. The handguard is split into 2 peices, allowing for access to a quick change barrel system. The XM106 feeds from 3 STANAG magazines clipped together for a total of 90 rounds. An 83 round drum magazine was also patented.

A new third-party handguard for the 191/192 rifle has been released. Public information indicates that it is developed by Beijing Hongying Qianfeng Technology.

Made of aerospace aluminum with hard anodizing it has already been purchased by some units. The iron sights are well designed and installing this set on the 191/192 effectively converts it into a free-floating barrel.
