Went to the gun musseum in Buenos Aires the other day, wanna see some pics? they had a surprisingly good collection.

Italian flintlock and Tanegashima
Evans repeating rifle
Giffard CO2 rifle
Muskets captured from the British in their attempted invasion of Buenos Aires. Including giant emplaced blunderbuss
Assortment of caplock riflesSkipped over the WW2 rifles, everyone has seen those.

Rolling block Remington cutaway
Hartman subcaliber system for Mauser rifles used in school shooting galleries. It says "24 caliber" but I think that's a typo, 99% chance it's 22lr.
Mauser action cutaway
Two Belgian made FALs
Belt-fed machineguns. Not sure which ones.
French-made Caplock pistols in case including accoutrements.
Mauser with gold inlay. Belonged to an Argentinean president.

>>65524616>Including giant emplaced blunderbussIt's not emplaced, that one's Patrick Harper's.Anyway, good thread, OP
Odd tri-barrel "gas launcher" pistol.I wish I had taken more pics of a few guns, but my girlfriend was already getting bored and hurrying me up :(There was a Frommer Stop under the artillery lugger and stocked C96 but didn't take a picture of it.>>65525537Good thing I'm not Argentinean>>65525017Hmmm not sure if lying>>65525131properly heavy as fuck, it was massive.

>>65525545There were three parallel projects to replace bolt action mausers with locally built semis back thenThe army produced an STG copyThe navy produced a Garand copyand finally the air force when with the Johnson copybut then Peron got ousted and all those projects were cancelled and later the FAL got adoptedThe Johnson bears the IAME markings because the air force manufacturing consortium was called INDUSTRIAS AERONAUTICAS MECANICAS del ESTADO or State Aeronautical and Mechanical Industriespic related, when I diddled the johnson
>>65525582
>>65525582>>65525584Is that in chambered in 7.65x53, based
>>65525615Yeahboth the Garand and the Johnson were made in 7.65The STG was actually made in 7.92 kurtz, since we had a local stockpile of that for some reason totally unrelated to submarines and notable people landing in desolated coasts in the inmediate aftermath of WW2
>>65525534Five foot two and an attitude
>>65525534>Gee, Diego..
>>65525628You mean these guysI went to the museum in MDP in 2008, manage to find the pictures in my old computer a last year.
>>65525582>when I diddled the johnsonthat's a nice Johnson you're holding in your hands
>>65524572>the Mexican mondragon 1890s slam fire bolt actionHoly based. Wtf is arms procurement in Latin America? They have all sorts of random advanced shit like that Italian burst fire rifle from the 1930s in Costa Rica.
>>65525774>Wtf is arms procurement in Latin America?Its basically Eritrea-tier
>>65524648Cool
OP here continuing the dumpBeretta M1951
Soviet Stechkin automatic pistol
Display case with modern-ish guns. This was as new as guns got in the museum.They had a 22 Magnum SMG, kind of a head-scratcher but a guy told me that before 1973 the gun law was extremely permissive so there was a market for fun novelty civilian machineguns.
>>65524572Brazil has a lot of freedom fighter Conservatives and then they got a bunch of brown ass oogy Commies
Closeup of the "target Luger" in the case

>>65527294Backwards thumb trigger? Hold pistol grip and push thumb backwards to fire?
>>65527599alternatively, the top piece gets pushed down by the thumb and the assembly gets pulled back by the "trigger" which is only a hook for the trigger??
>>65527672*for the finger. whoops.
>>65527294>It is still a mystery how you hold thisThe simple guess is that you're not meant to hold it.

>>65524623Neat
>>65525774They were comparatively wealthy, with limited industrial capacity, and located in the ass-end of nowhere so they ordered a bunch of shit out of catalogs and had to wait 6 to 18 months to find out if it was good or not.
