The light wasn't good it totally clouded over but after bumping the ISO up to 1600 the camera really performed, clouds can be good for something, like making shadows non existent. This girl and her horse were my favorite shooter. I have her with fire coming out of her gun as well. Titled after a Willy Nelson song :)
Don;t know if I will keep doing this but I am starting a series to convert all the presets in .7 to pistol version. I already did the AK, here is the G36.
The top is a Nambu Type 14 that fires 8mm Japanese. It has the extended trigger guard for use with a glove in cold weather. I have never fired this pistol because of its poor condition. It is the only firearm in my collection that I deem unfit for actual use. It may be OK, but I am not going to take any chances on that pitted barrel.
The US 1911A1 pistol fired a .45 ACP. It is a much heftier pistol and much better designed. The Browning design is still in use today, and the .45 ACP has tremendous knockdown power. I shoot this one regularly, and though it is for WW-2 show, it is also not far from my bedside when I sleep at night.
After the Spanish American War, the Filipinos found themselves under the rule of the US instead of Spain. They had believed that they were going to become independent; hence, their struggle continued, and the US lost far more soldiers in combat in the undeclared war in the Philippines than we had in the declared war with Spain. (Anyone who knows Filipinos knows that they are some of the friendliest people in the world, but they are firecrackers when it comes time to fight.)
The Spanish American War convinced the military that its Krag rifle was inferior, and a new, model 1903 Springfield rifle based on a German design was adopted. However, fighting in the Philippines persisted.
The Philippine Moro guerrillas were especially fanatical and would get hyped up on drugs where they could not feel pain. Charging American soldiers in the jungles, the US troops often pulled .38 caliber revolvers to defend themselves. The Moros would continue the attack and often kill the American soldier who had emptied his revolver. The Moro would die, but had killed his enemy.
It was recommended that a new pistol be designed that would be at least .45 caliber and preferably semi-automatic. John Browning's design was eventually adopted in 1911 and provided the stopping power to save the American soldier's life.
The Type 14 pistol was designed by a Japanese general named Kijiro Nambu. It was probably a copy of a German design as was the Arisaka rifle. The Nambu is kind of unique in that its barrel and receiver are all one piece. The Type 14 is a fairly sound design, but its ammunition is very weak.
After the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 (the start of World War II, as far as I'm concerned), Japanese NCOs complained of having trouble firing the weapon with gloves on. The enlarged trigger guard was the result.
This particular Type 14 was manufactured in 1939 but has seen better days. The early manufactured weapons (1925 to 1942) were very well made, but after the war started, the Japanese had to reduce quality in order to increase production.
Update:
I've recently seen some of the Nambu 8mm ammunition selling for $5 per round!! I'll have to take inventory of how many rounds I have.

This is the last clip of 14 rounds after we lowered the target to be in my normal plain of vision. (shooting from a sitting position) My 9 MM. Pretty deadly at 25 feet. Which is the kill range you should use a pistol in. Anything beyond that becomes less accurate unless you are using a long barrel. I have both in a 9 MM. One is good for 150 yards.
Two male Greater Prairie Chickens (Tympanuchus cupido) face off just before sunrise, as a female watches intently. More than likely, neither male will win her affection, though each clearly demands satisfaction from the other.
Like it on MOCpages to help the Ashes Rule! Your like matters! This is Decisive Action 3.

This is my build for Category 5 of DA3. Probably my first gun I ever build, but I found it similar to the Tracker I made a year or so ago. It was enjoyable and tricky, and I'm glad with what I have to present, hope you enjoy!
Sex Pistols, ‘God Save the Queen’, 1977. I went to three different record shops when this came out before finding one that sold it with the picture sleeve. I hadn’t even heard it, just heard about it. A classic. The cover alone. Gamechanger….
A poorly designed pistol, mass produced for conscripted soldiers. Bolt action with a, 18 rnd magazine which doubles as a grip.
Noteable issues with the gun:
Bolt can only be drawn to eject dud rounds by twisting rear cap and pulling;
Sights are tiny and often mis aligned;
The round used is a custom, mass produced lead round close to a 40 cal however due to poor gunpowder only 65% of all rounds actually work;
Magazine release is super thin and liable to snap at any point, it is also stupidly close to thumb grip so in the case of firing with a bad grip the recoil can cause magazine release;
Ejector slide is missing from around half of all guns meaning that to eject a spent round during firing you have to fire the gun on its side, gangster style.
The Kings Guard Chamber
Around about 1700 King William III had his country retreat built at Hampton Court Palace and as every good king would have, he had a series of rooms leading into his apartment area where the guards, courtiers, servants and general "hangers on" would loiter when he was having a long weekend at the palace.
As was the practice in those days, the "guard chamber" just had to be decorated with the odd weapon or two just to show off to his friends.
The Yoeman of the Guard would stand here on duty, and his biggest problem was always which weapon to pick to shoot someone.
The walls, which are about 10m high, are fully decorated with weapons engraved with Williams cypher.
Have a close look, and try to count the guns and rifles. Look down to the other shots if you want more.

Marines fire rounds downrange during Combat Pistol Program qualification training and firing at the Puuloa Range Training Facility in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, April 30. The new pistol program will replace annual pistol training and is more combat-oriented than the pistol qualification previously implemented.

Nothing special and not really needed it for something, just felt lazy
Just noticed it's rough on this picture, but in pmg it's much smaller of course so it'll look just fine
please credit if used
First time building a life-size firearm; was an interesting challenge.
Built for the Decisive Action 3 war-game, on MOCpages. Likes there give a build more power in the game, so if you have an account and you like the build, I’d highly appreciate it if you would rate it over on MOCpages. More pics over there.
Where are antagonists face off in field of blowing flowers to the sounds of mozart ....
Sex Pistols, ‘Pretty Vacant’, 1977. Another classic. The sleeve by Jamie Reid still mesmerising. It’s hard to convey how big an impact the Pistols had at the time…
Old pistol concept that I drew, but traced now with sai paint tool. I didn't think of anything mechanical, just cool yo.
