NSV machine gun in 12.7mm.
Those are Soviet "silent" pistol rounds that use a piston inside the reinforced shell case to propel the cylindrical projectile forward without having any hot gases leave the cartridge case --it is a way of making a "suppressed" pistol without hanging a silencer on the muzzle.
It is very quiet but because the piston is only accelerated for an inch or less before the thrust force ends, it doesn't reach a very high velocity.

You're up. You got it.
These guns are the apparently the
same make and model number,
whether it's the tubular magazine version
or the clip magazine version.

Weatherby Mark XXII .22 rifle - I believe they were made in Japan by Howa IIRC. They were produced from 64'-1980something I think. They are a pretty rifle. I like the old school wood.
Yes!
But I think Howa was only one of several subcontractors that Weatherby hired to produce these guns over the decades.
I've read that Mossberg had the contract for a while but then so did Browning, in Belgium!
Some 100,000 examples of the "model twenty two" were produced. I'm not sure what percentage were tube fed versus detachable box magazine fed.
So, it's your turn.
