#1 Perhaps the coolest weapon ever invented by a human

And the coolest weapon that ever will be invented, too. I present to you the TP-82.

This bad boy combined twin-forty gauge shotgun barrels with a 5.45X39 lower barrel on top of a machete.

I mean, just look at this beau... okay, only a mother could really appreciate the aesthetic, but it has a beautiful soul.

And they only retired it because the ammo went bad. First Mir, then the TP-82. So much was lost when the revolution failed.

Man I remember when Stas Bush posted this baby years ago in a SDN cosmonaut thread. Trust the Russians to invent the Swiss Army Knife of guns.

Trust the last surviving Red to steal my thunder.

I had a bit of a fever last night, but it did come to me on how to perfect the design, by combining it with another concept.

See, we make more ammo for it, but instead of bullets it shoots swords.

Then. Then it will be perfect.

It's a gun?

Guess that means you can't use it, since it doesn't shoot a grappling hook.

Dude, it's a combo rifle/shotgun with a machete attached.

When I was a young man, I was enamored of the simple Mossberg 12 gauge. Simple, reliable, effective. The gun next door, as it were.

But now, as a more sophisticated adult, I've found the weapon truly worthy of my affections.

It's a pistol on steroids, that's all. But since nobody is forcing me to get one, and since I do admittedly dislike guns on general principles and am thus not necessarily objective, you guys have your fun. :biggrin:
