What's the name of the three barreled 18 round pistol that used 6.35 x16 mm semi-ribbed rounds?

It could fire 1,2 or 3 rounds at once. It was designed to use moon clip speed loader to load all 18 rounds at once.

Now in your defense, this gun was (to my knowledge) never produced besides a working(?) prototype.

Well you stumped me on that one Dean. I looked it up. I had never seen or heard of that dang thang.

Did Japan ever occupy US soil during WW2.

Change of pace.

Hawks have very strange mating ritual. What is it?? I was lucky enough to see it 1 time.

Pigeon's & Doves + other birds can mentally process ***** ***** 3 times faster than humans.

During WW2 the US sent arms, ammo & planes to Russia. But even more important to Russia was the **** **** ???

Change of pace.

Japan occupied parts of the Aleutians for a brief time during the war; as for Russia, my guess is "Spam". I'm pretty sure a lot of the Russian cold weather clothing and uniforms were made in the U.S.A. also. Spam also became a big hit in Hawaii during the war, and last I heard it was the champion per capita Spam consumer in the world.

Most important to the Russian war effort was the Duce & 1/2 truck. The total output of the Studebaker factory a little over 112,000, 5 ton trucks. Up untill that time the Russians were using horses.

Hint on Hawks mating. When you first start watching it looks like they are fighting & trying to kill each other.

You guessed right on the visual images. Far faster than humans.

Cats are well known for their night vision. What about Dogs, horses & other animals??

Many years ago Shooters Bible had an article on them. Think it was in the mid 60's.

The military now has something similar Stacked jet cartridges & it is claimed to be able to shoot a million rounds a minuet.

What was the Duck Foot???

What was the Trap Door??/

Long after repeating arms were sold, the army continued to use single shot rifles. Why??

Single shot because the brass were afraid the troops would use too much ammo.

[turnkey4099]

Pretty much correct.
Army did not want them wasting or using ammo to fast.

During WW2, did Japan ever attack mainland USA??
How & did it Work???

No, but close to it. They occupied several Islands in the "chain" out near the end but Alaska at that time was a territory, not a state. Nit picking facts

Are they like Eagles? They sore high, then sort of crash into each other and tumble and tumble toward the ground in each other's grasp, then break apart at what seems like the last second.

Should have read it more closely. Attacked yes as others pointed out.

Everyone has a 1911 style pistol, I have owned many.

There were made by the millions in WWII by various manufactures.

However one unlikely manufacture only made 500 of these pistols. And while it is estimated there are 5 to 10 thousand counterfeit copies in the world of these special 1911 .45 pistols very few authentic ones remain accounted for after being issued to military personnel during the war. They bring a premium when a real one is offered for sale.

So who made these very rare indeed 1911 pistols?


Note: Original and correct xxx pistols are highly desired by collectors and when sold, bring significantly higher prices
than more common 1911A1 pistols. The Krause Publications 2002 “Standard Catalog of Firearms Price Guide” lists (Original) xxx pistols
in excellent condition (96%-98%) at $25,000, in very good condition (92%-95%) at $18,000, in good condition (85%-95%) at $12,000,
in fair condition (65%-85%) at $7,000, and in poor condition (60%or less) at $3,500. xxx pistols are one of the most copied/forged M1911-A1s

This is my guess too.

 

[Depmandog]

This Colt Third Model is reportedly valued at $5,000,000.00

What is its "name", or why is it so special?

Just a guess it was presented to some president? The engraving looks like a presidential seal?

Close. This one was presented to the Sultan of Turkey by old Sam Colt himself during the Crimean War in 1854. This gun is now a part of the Metropolitan Museum in NYC.

It should be noted that Sam also gave one to Czar Nicolas 1 of Russia. Russia was fighting against Turkey in that war. Old Sam was on a sales trip
