The attachment on the end of the barrel is a granade launcher the magazine would be loaded with blanks to propel a granade down a tunnel

If you mean the No1 Mk3*
It is a granade launcher
No, it is a movie prop from Star Wars, so the prior posters who state they or family have one must be related to Jawas.

Many of the weapons used in starwars comprise parts of genuine firearms. For instance Austen hand grips are prevelent on a few and there are other examples. One weapon uses parts from an MG42, try and spot it.

Another would be Han Solo's blaster, it's a Broomhandle Mauser slightly modified

I've just been asked by hubby if anyone has a photo of another unusual firearm.
A "junket gun", not 100% sure on spelling though.
Apparently they came in both large and small bore, and varying length on the barrels.
So, anyone got a pic?
