CEO Assassin's Gun

Puff of smoke and powder gases coming out of the chamber as Luigi was firing already confirmed to the vast majority of gun-familiar viewers that the weapon is NOT a Welrod or Station Six or anything like it. Manually operated actions are not going to vent gas out of the port upon the round being fired unless the structure somehow catastrophically malfunctioned ie. went kaboom...

ETA: Closed breech rifle and carbine actions venting out the wrong end WAS a minor problem with early breechloaders like the Sharps Model 1859 and it's modern reproductions. In the curious case of the Sharps, small grains of loose powder from the "cigar cutter" action of the breechblock shearing the rear of the paper cartridge, falling into the action's moving parts and then ignited by sparks from a subsequent shot and causing flash of flame uncomfortably close to the shooter's face was one of the issues in originals and the modern repros. Civil War reenactors and skirmishers refer to the more hilarious results of this feature as "Sharps Eyebrows"...

I admit I was one of those that believed it was a manually cycled gun. Makes sense now because Glocks are weird in that some models are short recoil whereas others are blowback.

There's a bit of a lesson here for the guys asking the build or buy question. When you build you've no help smoothing out the details.
When you build, you can also understand the details of operation...

That's at a high-level of build. Not in the Black-and-Decker-drill and toolshed level. And I doubt that Guido was at anything beyond the Call of Duty level of building.

It's a good thing that those of us who really know how to make things are law-abiding and prefer to let the system work as-designed. Because otherwise, if the world went full-retard, it could get sporty. In the worst-case circumstances.

But fortunately.... things generally work out right! And we keep believing heart-and-soul in law and order. Because the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and 'most' of the USCA (Annotated) is intact and functioning.

He keeps calling the B&T manually operated repeater a single shot. Single shots don’t have magazines…


The Station Six can actually be a very practical multi-tool in addition to being a firearm. Imagine a non-fixed suppressor version of the gun being built, with a threaded frame accepting a host of accessories.

A 9mm rifled barrel with suppressor threads, for use as a 9mm pistol. Standard 9mm FMJ/JHP ammo.

Two impact driver heads that uses gas from a 9mm blank to wrench a bit 1-2 rotations clockwise and the other one counter clockwise. VERY useful for loosening stubborn screws or driving them in for a tight fit. Bits come in standard screw slots as well as different size nut drivers.

Rivet driver head attachment. Green 9mm blank.

Centerpunch head attachment. Can also be used as a heavy duty glass breaker. Yellow 9mm blank.

Nail driver head. Red 9mm blank.

9mm blanks will come in different color coded casings for use with various jobs.

It will be a contractor's dream tool. And of course, a manually operated 9mm pistol. I'd get one and carry it as a permanent part of my work rig without a second's hesitation if it becomes available. That thing can replace 1/3rd of the tools I carry right now.
