Tired of running out of ammo? There has to be a better way!
This Norwegian blow back pistol contains not one but two 25 rd double stack magazines in it’s grip. Once the first magazine empties you’d slide the second forward into position.
Chambered in 6.5x19mm or 8x19mm Sunngård (the 8mm only held 18 per magazine). Claimed to fly at 2000 feet per second (600 meters per second) the projectiles moved exceptionally fast for a handgun.
This gun was striker fired, much like the current trend in pistols. Actually in many ways this pistol embodies modern doctrines between its high capacity, fast small projectiles, and firing mechanism.
Why didn’t it take off then? Well if it was reliable, it still has very light 29 grain bullets (something that was frowned upon at the time), and of course it has its ergonomic issues.
