3 Firearms you probably have never heard of

1. THE HUOT AUTOMATIC RIFLE
Back in the days when warfare involved incredibly large amounts of digging and most machine guns weighed around 100 pounds some crazy canadian was like "What if I take one of those bolt action ross rifles,give it a 25 round drum and make it fire at full auto?" You get this.

Canadian BAR.
The gun actually proved somewhat better then the standard light machine gun at the time. Soldiers reported they loved the gun and it cost about 50 Canadian dollars where as the Lewis cost about 1000 Canadian dollars.
So why haven't you heard about this gun? Funny thing happened. The war ended and suddenly German murdering devices market took a dive. Why no one ever thought to make the gun in world war 2 is beyond me.

2.MATEBA AUTOREVOLVER 
Revolvers all look very similar. However those crazy Italians aren't merely content to just go with the standard design. So sure enough the mateba autorevolver was born. It uses the gasses from the shot to spin the barrel and cock the hammer where as other revolvers just use the trigger press to do both.
Looks like some kinda crazy FUTURE GUN
Now why haven't you heard of this gun? Probably because hollywood hasn't put it in any of their crazy shoot-em up movie. But they should. 


3.COBRAY TERMINATOR
Unlike those other 2 guns which seem rather awesome the following is almost a step back in gun technology. In a world where we had pump action shotguns with fancy semi-auto or pump actions with 8 shot round capacity some crazy dude thought it was okay to make a marketable shotgun that can only shoot once using the same kind of system you can make out of some plumbing supplies on a lazy sunday afternoon
Seriously I could make a better gun in my sleep.
This gun sells for around 1000 dollars now despite probably costing around 5 bucks to make. Why? Because apparently there were only around 18 made before the ATF decided that having an open bolt method of firing on guns wasn't cool with them.
