Some I was once given eek to carry, clean, polish, oil, take to bits, put together again, run with, sleep with, fire:

The mighty Jimpy:




The bang-stick SLR:


(this one seems to be sawn-off!)

The a bit rubbish Sterling SMG




The very-last-ditch Browning Hi-Power




The not really a 'gun' but the can-somebody-else-carry-it-now-please Carl Gustav 84mm

That would make a rather large hole - both sides. Are such non-FMJ rounds illegal these days - would it be classed as a squash head or "Dum Dum" round?
