Gun #1. Heckler & Koch SL8-1 conversion.

This rifle started it's life as a HK SL8. Beautiful rifle. Unfortunately, they are no longer being imported into the USA. This one is unique as it doesn't take expensive HK magazines. It has been converted to take standard AR-15 magazines. Normally this rifle has a fixed stock, but they also added the Stock Block adaptor and a HK G36 folding stock.

Gun #2. Knight's Armament Chain SAW.

This is a prototype (I wish it was a production gun) light machine gun built by KAC. The gun was designed to be fired from the hip and used for suppression fire. It primary gun is a M249 SAW, which is produced by FNH USA. I don't have much personal information on this so I had to rely on the internet.

The Chain SAW was originally developed as a technical exercise to test new ergonomic designs for light machine guns. The Chain SAW was designed to only be fired from the hip, with a handle along the top to hold the firearm (which is mounted instead of a stock) meaning the user would wield the Chain SAW as if they were using an actual chainsaw. As the Chain SAW is intended to be hip-fired, various targeting aids were developed alongside it to aid the aiming and accuracy, although KAC admits that more work on targeting aids will have to be made before the Chain SAW could be produced and used effectively.

The Chain SAW is a fairly standard light machine gun, utilizing the typical gas operated, rotating bolt action used in the majority of machine guns across the world. The Chain SAW is also equipped with a picatinny rail with a 37mm grenade launcher mounted underneath the barrel. However, instead of launching grenades, the launcher instead fires flames which KAC claims are to warn the user that the ammunition is running low. The weapon feeds off of a belt magazine, usually consisting of 200 rounds.

The KAC Chain SAW is chambered to accept the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge which has been in use for many years. This means that the Chain SAW, if a NATO member ever decided to adopt it, would be ready to use straight away without any modification to the design to accommodate a different caliber.

Detonics (aka Detonics Defense) has been around for a LONG time. They were one of the earlier innovators in custom 1911s back in the late 80's and early 90's. http://www.detonicsdefense.com/



As the economy turned for the worst and gun legislation took it's toll on America in 1994-2004, Detonics faded away from consumer firearms. They produced only a few 1911s for the distinctive audience.

In 2011 the US Army decided that they wanted to replace the current Beretta M9s that are currently issued. They desired a modular firearm that can change calibers to fit the needs of the operation, and a grip that was modular to fit 95% of the users. They penned the XM17 project. In June 2015, they released the final draft and opened competition for the design, called the MHS. Smith & Wesson quickly eliminated themselves due to their non-caliber modularity. Unless they redesign their current M&P lineup, it will look bleak for Smith & Wesson Sig has plans to introduce their P320 MHS series. Beretta, which holds the current contract for the Beretta M9 won't go away without a fight. They released two pistols. The M93A3 and the APX.

Smith & Wesson, Beretta, and Sig are three powerhouses. How did a small company like Detonics get invited to this competition? Well, this 5-man company already had the "perfect" gun!

Detonics wasn't really in the firearm manufacturing business anymore. Sure, they had one 1911 left in their build, but Detonics is now a tech company, creating innovative designs outside the firearms world. A few years earlier, they tinkered with a modular pistol concept. It works. They were invited to the US Army grounds to present their pistol and everyone loved it. Rumor has it that the MHS (modular handgun system) competition "had" to exist to be fair, but Detonics was already the winner.

Remember, Detonics really aren't making guns anymore. How in the world can they fulfill a potential 280,000 gun order from the US Army? They team up with someone that CAN. They have teamed up with STI, who is WELL known in the 1911 community for building amazing 1911s that were custom to the core, but mass produced to meet demands, but still hand worked to maintain the craftsmanship you would expect from a $1,780 firearm (average price). http://stiguns.com/



The result is THIS STI-Detonix STX.

The US Army will make it's final pick in 2016 and first orders go in during 2018 fiscal year. In the meantime, Detonics IS producing the STX firearm in 45ACP in a 4.25" commander length and 3.5" officer length. A 5" government length is available for special orders. They have plans to release one in .40SW. They accept STI high capacity magazines. It does depart from a traditional 1911 by losing the grip safety.

While MHS gun has a lot of looks of a 1911 (or an STI 2011 double stack), the gun will actually a striker fire gun with no exposed hammer. The slide and top frame will be steel, but the modular grip will be polymer. Not much more information is available now, as designs are still being worked on and pending final submission the the US Army.

More information will be released in the near future. for now,

Looks like a Saiga AK

BAM! I knew this day would come! This is a Custom HK USP slide modification made by Michael Lamb of Desert Design & Development (Scottsdale, AZ), in partnership with WeaponWorx (formerly of Tucson,AZ). You see that the slide but what you don't see is that the polymer grip has also been stipled to a hexigon pattern. I'm attaching a pic of the slide right after milling the hexigon pattern.

Most of the Pinterest and Instagram pics inaccurately describe this a a Glock slide. NOPE. It's a HK USP made for Jessie James, the motorcycle builder (now a wannabe gun builder).

This is a bit hard to recognize. It's definitely an AK platform, as that keymod forend is made by CHAOS. It's their AK Apollo 11380 rail. The rest of it is bits n' pieces of various accessories.
