I knew a career, retired, cop and he once told me “I never once rolled up to a domestic dispute where there was a bong smoking on the table and everyone was stoned. Alcohol, however, pretty much every damn time.”

Ah yeah, that makes sense. There’s a big difference between a 7cm folding pocket knife and a 20cm fixed blade rambo-esque hunting knife… And I can’t think of any reason to carry the latter around in a city : )

I’ve carried a knife in my pocket everyday for the past 35 years or so. It’s a useful tool both for actual work and mundane tasks like opening boxes/etc.

A few weeks ago I was hiking near a lake and found a bird entangled in fishing line. It would’ve been very difficult to free it without some type of blade. Hell, it took almost 15 minutes even with the knife because it was so wrapped up and distressed.

I’m not arguing with you, just wanted to add my own little info in the most applicable place (and to complain about touch screens :)

My 2017 Honda Civic doesn’t have a touch screen but I did specifically have to get the “lower end” LX model. All the EX models I looked at were touch control.

Paying less money to ensure I don’t get garbage I hate? Don’t threaten me with a good time.

EDIT: I enjoy how I managed to accidentally format the “not arguing” bit in huge font so I’m screaming at you for some reason… Sorry

Isn’t this same thing going on in Paris?

Based on that info, I wouldn’t be surprised if #4 is the Pindad P1. Just seeing the front/top, I could easily confuse a 1911 and a Hi-Power… or even a Tokarev maybe. But, it looks like they do have 1911’s listed on that page too so it’s a toss up from me.

And I think you’re right on the Pindad - especially the SS2 for #5. Gas block/front sight, receiver, stock and caliber all match. I’d never heard of these - nice find!

I’m a tiny bit proud of guessing that it was piston operated based on the gas block : D

1. M3 sub machine gun (aka “grease gun”) chambered in .45 ACP : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_submachine_gun
2. I thought this was going to be a M16 with M203 grenade launcher but the upper receiver doesn’t look right and there’s no buffer tube… which means it can’t be a M16. What confuses me more is the magazine looks exactly like the old steel 30 round magazines for a M16. Based on the magazine alone, I’d say it’s chambered in 5.56x45 NATO (similar to .223 Remington). Maybe someone who knows firearms from that era can provide more info.
3. No idea
4. Best I can tell based on the picture - 1911 in .45 ACP
5. Same as #2 - kind of looks like a M16/M4 but isn’t unless there’s a buffer tube under that stock wrap. And, based on the stock style it’s probably a folding stock which eliminates M16’s in that time frame. There are aftermarket doodads to allow folding stocks on that style rifle now but I wouldn’t expect them to show up in this area
6. Not sure.
7. No clue
8. Probably an AK of some type (with no magazine see EDIT) based on the fire selector switch, dent in the receiver, gas block, and stock. Presumably with the long eye relief scope mounted on the rear sight block. I don’t have a ton of confidence in this guess but that’s the best I can do. If so, AKs are typically chambered in either 7.62x39 or 5.45x39 depending on the model.

EDIT : I realized there is a magazine in #8. I wasn’t looking closely enough. Definitely an AK.

Hope this helps but take everything I said here with a grain of salt - I could definitely be wrong or missing something.

Now, I’ll wait for someone to ID #2 because I’m super curious.

EDIT x2 : Based on the chunky gas block on #2 and #5 I’d guess that it’s piston operated which further eliminates the option of M16 but does explain the lack of a buffer tube. The interesting part is that the left side of the receiver on #5 looks almost exactly like an aluminum receiver from the M16/M4 style of rifles. It’s somewhat rounded in the middle with a rectangular outcropping near the front. I’ve never heard of anything in wide circulation that uses effectively a M16/M4 receiver but is piston operated rather than gas impingement (there are piston operated AR-15s but they’re kind of niche). Very curious.
