Top 5: Advantageous Exotic Guns
Guns which go beyond the realms of traditional design to offer the user a distinct advantage or capability in a combat situation are often described as ‘exotic weapons‘. Traditional ideas of weaponry and tactics have sometimes been changed out of necessity or by intuition and produced some significant advances in modern thinking on the subject. We’ve made aTop 5 list of some of the most exotic weapons (and their chief advantages) ever built and used for home defense purposes.
1. Air-Powered .30 Cal Light Machine Gun (LMG)
Advantage: Extreme Fire Power
This LMG was made in the early 1990s by Jeff Caselman and has high rates of fire and power. As a result of the 32 ACP power, the .30 caliber 30 shot magazine empties quickly. With a fully functioning rate of fire selection, this hand-held rifle-size LMG is equally useful for survival and defense in close quarters and medium-long distance situations.
2. British Standard Pipe (BSP) 9mm Homemade Sub-Machine Gun (SMG)
Advantage: Cheap and Homemade
This prototype SMG is built using retooled BSP which can be bought at almost any hardware store. The BSP-SMG offers a high rate of fire and is built for use with 9mm 124g JHP ammunition. Those seeking defensive measures within a limited budget will find the cheap configuration of the weapon a significant advantage.
3. Electro-Mechanical Chemical Pistol
Advantage: Chemical Deterrent
This improved chemical firearm is operated and fired using a new electro–mechanical system. The chemical to be discharged is held in the pistol’s tank–like handle which is built for that purpose. A dual–action trigger-mechanism for first firing the chemical from a nozzle in the barrel means the weapon can be aimed like a regular pistol toward the target with a second option to ignite the chemical during discharge. This gun carries extremely harsh ammunition which means that its very presence will act as a deterrent to those opposing the user.
4. Compact Foldable Pistol
Advantage: Easily Concealed
This foldable weapon’s compact size and unassuming appearance make it perfect for subtle defense purposes. It uses 9mm ammunition and includes a magazine receiver and stock pivotally mounted to a receiver assembly. It is semi-automatic and can be very easily concealed in a pocket or jacket.
5. Multipurpose Rifle/Assault Rifle
Advantage: Variable Configurations
This multipurpose gun has a self-loading high caliber rifle module with an assault module attached to the front. Therefore, it gives different rates of fire and high power. A first trigger assembly of the high caliber rifle is positioned by the user’s first hand while a second trigger assembly of the assault module is used by the user’s other hand, making this weapon easy to use as a result of its well-designed dual trigger assembly. This weapon acts as both an assault rifle and as a high-caliber rifle, giving the user a distinct advantage over smaller caliber weapons and the ability to choose the best configuration for a variety of situations.
