Umm.. WTF is this?

1)

Chimera Gun: This gun was home built from scavenged parts by one of the Iraqi SWAT team members I trained. It consists of an AK-47 receiver, a Browning Hi-Power pistol grip, PKM barrel, BB gun scope, and a custom made butt stock, magazine, and M16 style charging handle! I watched him shoot it on a number of occasions so I know it worked, but I always stood at a safe distance just in case.

2)

They say necessity is the mother of all invention and the extreme poverty often found in Iraq certainly creates a need. Readers of this website are surely familiar with the inventiveness of their adversary, many of you have seen the improvised remote detonators and home brewed microchips that have been jerry-rigged to a set of batteries to trigger an IED.

Thankfully, some of these masters of improvisation work for the good guys. I worked with an Iraqi SWAT team member named Shahab who had a habit of creating bizarre chimera type weapons in his home workshop. Despite Shahab being a great soldier and a strong leader, I always made sure to stand off at a safe distance when he fired this thing out on our range.

Look carefully and you can see that he cannibalized parts of various weapons and fabricated a few of his own. He took a AK-47 receiver, a Browning Hi-Power pistol grip, and a PKM barrel, cobbling them together with what I think was a bb-gun scope. He cut the stock himself and created a M16 style charging handle that actually worked!

 

As a 18B, this Franken gun made me a little nervous but I never saw him have a malfunction with it much less the kind of catastrophic failure you might expect from the picture.

A co-worker rotated back into Iraq the next year to work with Shahab again, who had by now built himself a home made 40mm grenade launcher. He kept bugging my friend for a M203 grenade to “test fire” but needless to say he had to decline...

Very short suppressor.

Маскиратор пламе-искрогаситель МПИ-Витязь

This is a device for disguising the position of the shooter when firing. Because it lowers the volume of the shoot.

Also, this device reduces the emission of sparks and fire when shooting.

Holes in the front part scatter gunpowder gases, and also make it difficult to determine the position of the shooter.

Another feature is the ability to use the gun scopes of the night vision, shooting does not give light on the image.

 I do not know how to accurately translate the name into English, but it will be something like this: "Masker flame-spark arrester MPI-Vityaz"

This product does not have a special or military purpose and therefore it is sold freely, without a license.

Approximate price120-150$

Produce these devices in the city of Tula, the company  "Delta-Tech".
