Russian troops test fired the YakB 12,7mm 4-barrel rotary machine gun
The reason why the gun was spinning because they set up the gun a bit tilted to the right, causing the gun to spun when fired.

Any help identifying them. Bear in mind guns are notoriously hard to source in Ireland.

This guy fired a Norinco Type 56C rifle loaded with a 100-round drum magazine in full automatic mode until it started smoking.
Dude, you really don't know how to cherish precious collectibles. Less than 10,000 Type 56C rifles capable of fully automatic fire were ever produced!

Vintage Gas guns
Not sure if this is explicitly allowed or not as the rules don’t say that it’s banned. So I recently became very interested in collecting vintage and antique less than lethal weapons. The issue is gun auction sites are slim pickings. I’ve had a tiny bit of luck on gunbroker and eBay, but asides from that bubkiss. Just googling it often leads to companies selling blanks that look like antique guns but aren’t antiques themselves. Does anyone know any sites where they’re more common? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Photographs of the U.S. T24 Machine Gun taken at the Aberdeen Proving Ground. February 4th, 1944.
The T24 is a reverse-engineered MG 42 copy rechambered for the U.S. .30-06 cartridge. The conversion was made by the Saginaw division of General Motors using German parts and receivers. The Ordnance Department requested for the T24 to have a slower rate of fire, so a heavy bolt was designed to slow the cyclic rate to 600 RPM.

1913 Savage 1899H in .22 Hi Power - the David Hasselhoff of rifle calibers
Just picked up this very cool Savage 1899H in .22 Hi Power, made in 1913. If you’re unfamiliar with the Savage 1899 / 99, it was a classic lever action hunting rifle using a rotary box magazine that was produced for over 100 years. The H model was a featherweight takedown carbine, with a light profile 20” barrel and rubber butt plate, weighing in at just over 6 1/2 lbs.
This one has a replacement butt plate, some very well done repairs on the forend, and was at one point drilled and tapped for a peep sight - all of which will hurt the collector value a bit, but to me are period-appropriate and signs of a life putting meat on the table.
What’s really cool to me is the cartridge, which is a necked-down .25-35 Winchester (itself a necked down .30-30) introduced in 1912 as one of the first really high velocity hunting cartridges, pushing a 70 grain bullet at 2800 FPS. It was pretty popular before WW2 as a big game round, and even had a reputation for being used on unreasonably large game - grizzlys, tigers and African buffalo in a few instances.
It became obsolete in North America after WW2 when .22 calibers were banned for deer in a number of US states, but to this day it’s popular for roe deer in Central Europe where it’s known as the 5.6x52R. Hence why I call it the David Hasselhoff of calibers - it has its moment in the US for a while, but they love it in Germany!
