Pic #1 well having fired allot of H/Guns the trigger position of that piece what ever it is would be rather interesting I think the selection process for being issued to you was either index finger had to be 7" or more in length as the trigger sits above allot more that a normal H/G. Decent size bore on the barrel as well may have been a good handful when discharged. Invented by the same person that designed the Great Panjandrum Wheel..........in WWII
Postcript ~ I just learnt its Bobba Fett in disguise being retasked to hunt Ford Prefect in Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy!
:madsmile: :lol: I had to use my Babel Fish to translate it from the message sent to me by Marvin!
First photo. That item hanging from the sling was used to ensure the tot of issue rum was measured correctly and indicated how much it was watered down.:)
The Martini conversion looks more like an M79 than an M79 does!
I wonder if anybody involved in the Niblick program in the 1960's ever saw that and thought they could put a modern twist on it?
Maybe a Flare gun for Large Offensives
Or Naval Signal Gun, it is hanging upside down.
Buggar the flare gun I want my shot of rum and the smoke canister smoke to hide in once I get the rum:D:D
The Martini looks like a WW1 era M79 blooper to me.........or smoke discharger.
No 2 looks like a Blanch-Chevallier grenade launcher
