  1. FN Herstal SCAR (aka the MK-16/MK-17)
    Special operations forces Combat Assault Rifle. This weapon you may actually have heard of, by now, as some higher-end gun stores will have one or two on the wall for purchase. While this design was the winner as far as SOCOM was concerned, it has received mixed reviews in the civilian versions. Basically, this is your M4, this is your M4 on drugs.

  2. MAUL / MASS
    Multishot Accessory Underbarrel Launcher / M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System - these snap-on semi-automatic 12-gauge shotguns can be mounted on a rail, or used as a stand-alone weapon. This is the ultimate in tacticool, taking your M-forgery to new heights of badassdom. Yeah, these exist, it’s not just an elaborate photoshop.

  3. Heckler & Koch P11
    (BTW, for you plebeians, Koch sounds more like a soft drink and less like a former NYC mayor)
    This weapon, primarly in use by special operations forces in western countries, is a technically a handgun. It is designed to be used underwater. Ammunition is a 7.62mm flechette, powered by a solid-fuel rocket. The ignition system is electric. This weapon has very limited use cases. With an effective range of 50 feet (underwater, not sure if there are stats for land use), the five-shot magazine is also the barrel. It’s not a revolver, though. And, you can’t reload it yourself - all you can do is change out the magazine/barrel. I was unable to find any real-world discharges of the weapon, probably since its existence was kept secret for so long. It entered service in 1976.

I didn’t know that you could buy a P11 over the counter. That is one mental weapon and would probably make a good collectors piece.

I would guess that you can’t - it’s “production,” in that it is currently produced and in service.
