K31, Made in Switzerland 🇨🇭
The Karabiner Modell 1931 (officially abbreviated to Kar. 31/Mq. 31; commonly known in civilian circles as the K31) is a magazine-fed, straight-pull bolt-action rifle. It was the standard-issue rifle of the Swiss armed forces from 1933 until 1958 though examples remained in service into the 1970s. It has a 6-round removable magazine, and is chambered for the 7.5×55mm Swiss Gewehrpatrone 1911 or GP 11, a cartridge with ballistic qualities similar to the 7.62×51mm NATO/.308 Winchester cartridge. Each rifle included a 6-round detachable box magazine with matching stamped serial number. A stripper clip can be used to load the magazine from the top of the receiver.
The Karabiner Modell 1931 replaced both the Model 1911 rifle and carbine and was gradually replaced by the Stgw 57 from 1958 onwards.
Although the Kar. 31/K. 31 is a straight-pull carbine broadly based on previous Swiss "Schmidt–Rubin" service rifles and carbines, the Kar. 31/K. 31 was not designed by Colonel Rudolf Schmidt (1832–1898) as he was not alive in 1931 to do so.[1][2] Mechanical engineer Eduard Rubin (1846–1920) was the designer of the 7.5×55mm Swiss ammunition previous Swiss service rifles and the Kar. 31/K. 31 are chambered for. The Karabiner Modell 31 was a new design by the Eidgenössische Waffenfabrik in Bern, Switzerland under Colonel Adolf Furrer (1873–1958). The first 200 Kar. 31/K. 31s were made in May 1931 for troop trials (serials 500,001 – 500,200), thus the model number of 1931.

The Mosin–Nagant is a five-shot, bolt-action, internal magazine–fed military rifle. Known officially as the 3-line rifle M1891[9] and informally in Russia and the former Soviet Union as Mosin's rifle (Russian: винтовка Мосина, ISO 9: vintovka Mosina), it is primarily found chambered for its original 7.62×54mmR cartridge.
Developed from 1882 to 1891, it was used by the armed forces of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and various other states. It is one of the most mass-produced military bolt-action rifles in history, with over 37 million units produced since 1891.

A man opened fire and shot several times at his neighbors in Costa Rica
New details continue to come to light around the case of the man who was shot to death by his neighbor inside a luxurious condominium in Escazú, this time it is a video that reveals how the atrocious crime occurred.
The video was captured by a security camera in said condominium and is circulating on social networks and WhatsApp groups, but out of respect for those involved we will not publish it.
As reported by La Teja in the morning, the conflict that ended with the death of Otoniel Orozco Mendoza, 53, at the hands of his neighbor, surnamed Ramírez, occurred due to a confrontation over a problem related to the key. of water passage.
In the recording you can see how a woman, who would be the suspect's wife, leaves her house to open the faucet, then waits behind a pick-up truck while saying: "Here I am waiting for him to come and close the faucet, foolish".
The woman continues arguing and shortly after, another woman appears from the neighboring house, apparently the wife of the now deceased, and that is when the argument over the stopcock becomes more heated than necessary.
A few seconds later Ramírez appears on the scene, who after standing next to his wife takes cover behind the car, apparently to prepare a gun that he then hides under his shirt. The discussion between the two couples moves to the exact point where the stop key is located, and after some insults, Otoniel attacks Ramírez by throwing a blow at him, before this the other man retreats, takes out his gun and shoots him several times.
Orozco's wife runs away, while Ramírez is grabbed from behind by his partner, who takes him away.
After the events, Ramírez was arrested by the authorities.

Colt 1892 Double-Action Revolver
In 1892, the revolver was adopted by the United States Army chambered for .38 Long Colt cartridges, and was given the appellation "New Army and Navy". Initial experience with the gun caused officials to request some improvements. This would be an ongoing condition, resulting in Models 1892, 1894, 1896, 1901, and 1903 for the Army, as well as a Model 1895 for the Navy and a Model 1905 Marine Corps variant.[3]

C96 Mauser Bolo
The Mauser C96 (Construktion 96)[12] is a semi-automatic pistol that was originally produced by German arms manufacturer Mauser from 1896 to 1937.[13] Unlicensed copies of the gun were also manufactured in Spain and China in the first half of the 20th century.[13][14]
The distinctive characteristics of the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock, which gives it the stability of a short-barreled rifle and doubles as a holster or carrying case, and a grip shaped like the handle of a broom. The grip earned the gun the nickname "broomhandle" in the English-speaking world, and in China the C96 was nicknamed the "box cannon" (Chinese: 盒子炮; pinyin: hézipào) because of its rectangular internal magazine and because it could be holstered in its wooden box-like detachable stock.[15]
With its long barrel and high-velocity cartridge, the Mauser C96 had superior range and better penetration than most other pistols of its era; the 7.63×25mm Mauser cartridge was the highest-velocity commercially manufactured pistol cartridge until the advent of the .357 Magnum cartridge in 1935.[16]
Mauser manufactured approximately one million C96 pistols,[17] while the number produced in Spain and China is large but unknown due to poor production records.[13]

Browning 22 Semi-Auto rifle
The Browning 22 Semi-Auto rifle, also known as the Semi Automatic 22 or SA-22, is a takedown rifle produced by FN Herstal based on a John Browning patent. The rifle is currently produced by Browning as the Semi-Auto 22. Production began in 1914 and continued through 1973 in Belgium and production continued in 1974 in Japan by Miroku.[1] It was first exported by FN for the American market in 1956. Remington manufactured a lighter weight version under license from 1919-1935 as the Remington Model 24 and then replaced it with the Remington Model 241 in 1935. Except for the barrel locking mechanism the Remington Model 241 is very similar to the Browning SA-22. A close copy of the SA-22 was made by the Chinese company Norinco and imported into the US by Interarms as the Model ATD.
The SA-22 was the first production semi-automatic rifle chambered in .22 LR caliber,[2] and is regarded as a classic firearm.[2][3] It has been offered in several "grades" of engraving and gold inlay, and is a widely collected gun, especially those manufactured in Belgium.[4]
The Semi-auto .22 is a made from blued steel and walnut, and ejects spent cases downward. This feature was intended by the designer to keep the user's face "protected from gasses and flying particles while firing", at which it succeeds especially for smaller people. Downward-ejected hot spent cases can become trapped in a shirt sleeve, so care should be taken to avoid this with proper hand placement on the forend. The rifle was intended for a wide age range, and period advertisements recommend the rifle both for adult usage as well as appropriate for youth shooters.[5] The lack of a side-mounted ejection port also leaves a large "canvas" for engraving.[2] Factory engraving was done by hand at FN Herstal, and is done by laser engraving with hand finishing at Miroku. It has occasionally been sold with a factory fitted hard case, or with scope mounting grooves on the receiver.
Initial production models had a small loading port located on the top of the stock in contrast to later models which had the loading port located on the right side of the buttstock.
Over half a million SA-22 rifles have been sold since 1914.[2]

Browning Auto-5
The Browning Automatic 5, most often Auto-5 or simply A-5, is a recoil-operated semi-automatic shotgun designed by John Browning and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal. It was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun design, and remained in production until 1998. The name of the shotgun designates that it is an autoloader with a capacity of five rounds, four in the magazine and one in the chamber. Remington Arms and Savage Arms sold variants called the Remington Model 11 and Savage Model 720 that were nearly identical but lacked the magazine cutoff found on the Browning.
