Real gun ?

Not sure if I posted this one before.

However, due to the issues in Burma I thought the topic would get some interest.

hmm..interesting. the gun has parts that look real, like the end of the barrel, but the slide doesn't look right at all, so it's either a. fake or b. a really crappy chinese handgun.

I agree. The way that the end of the barrel and slide fit together suggest that the slide is functional. However, the shape and satin finish of the ejection port looks funny to me. However, anything's possible considering the size of the gun. These little .22 or .32 caliber autos are cheaply made to begin with...assuming it's real, that is.

Or it could be a novelty cigarette lighter...

If that cheap-looking thing IS real, he certainly doesn't need to be playing with it.

Looks like a BB gun, not sure though.

Not real. Look at the ride side which would be the ejector for the empty case.

Not real. Look at the ride side which would be the ejector for the empty case.

Good catch. Also, he wouldn't be able to hold a real gun in a loose grip like that; this thing has got to be lightweight plastic imitation.

But if it is cheap Chinese it could have an internal extractor. Between the weight and the slide I would have to say that it is fake though.

Yup, it garnered about 8 pages of comments, mostly about the gun.

Going by the closeup from the last time you posted this I think that it's a cigarette lighter.

Sorry - I thought that was photosig
