Although that photo is photoshopped, they do actually exist. They are called the "obrez" and were used in the Russian civil war.



Here's a video of one being fired:

That video is even painful just to watch it. I can't imagine firing it myself.

I've seen these things before. They are real. I wish these things were on the surplus market....I would definately buy a couple

I wouldn't think it would be much different than firing a Contender.

First time I fired a Super 14 (w/old style wooden grip) Contender in 35 Rem, I thought- NO MORE!


Pachmeyer grips and Mag-Na-Porting made it OK.

I don't think that firing the above Mosin would be very pleasant, but at least the cocking piece is large and rounded.

if the bullet strike didn't deliver a killing blow the flame would finish the job!

No kidding, killed and cooked with one trigger pull!
