Remember the old spy show "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."?? The standard sidearm for "UNCLE" agents was a modified Walther P38 that could be converted to a carbine with an extended mag and shoulder stock.
I just got into an argument (what fun!) with a classmate from my kiddie days who claims that the mag extension works, while I pointed out that with a P38 the baseplate must engage the mag catch at the butt of the weapon and an extended mag would semi-hilariously (gunfights are the sort of thing you laugh about later if at all) simply drop out of the gun.
In the research I did for my rebuttal I found that the "see in the dark sight" on the THRUSH rifle was an early model Sniperscope that did in real life as well as the TV sho emit a warbling tone. I think the THRUSH rifle was a 1960s model Fabrique National with a banana mag to make it look meaner.
Then here were other cool-but-unlikely firearms toys like the Roy Rodgers hat with the derringer that popped out and fired. Basically it was marketed to kidds who had yet to learn about Newton's laws of motion.
It is probably a vain hope knowing this bunch but as far as possible lets keep politics outta this thread, okay?
