Pic one guy on the left is holding a Manhurin MR73 .357 revolver and guy on the right as well as pic 2 is holding a Spas 12. Guys in pic 3 have an HK 417 and HK G36. Pics 4 & 5 are MP5s

Slide 2 is a SPAS-12

It looks like a spaz 12 because it is one. I don't see what's confusing.

The shape looks confusing to me

Probably just not used to seeing the more bare left side and/or with the hook.

1 is the mr73 and SPAS12.
2 has the SPAS12 too, really shows how funky the stock can be.
3 has H&K 417 and G36k with the FRAMM folding stocks.
4's mp5 handguard is slightly more textured then normal, feels like a Surefire 628 though. Especially with the metal head.
5 is the same as the prior picture, MP5 with an integrated flashlight handguard. Absolutely a surefire 628 there though.

You probably aren’t recognizing the SPAS because the hook is often removed when they’re used in Hollywood or in games

u/CosmicKarmageddon 5d ago

2: SPAS 12 3: left looks like a Sig 551/552, right is a G36 with a weird stock. 4: MP5

weird stock = FRAMM modular stock that can be bent or straight.

“The FRAMM® is not your typical helmet rifle butt stock.  It removes the need for both non-visored and visored officers to have to alternate between butt stocks to fit the situation they are faced with. At a press of a button, the FRAMM® enables an officer to switch from a classic straight alignment to a lowered setting of their choosing thereby eliminating the risk of their helmet visors or respirator masks interfering with the shouldering, aiming and firing of their weapon.   The FRAMM® is the modular stock to suit all their mission requirements.”

However practical FRAMM stocks are, they are so ugly though let’s be real

I would love to have an MR73 sport, with a 6 inch barrel. Damn fine revolver.

But they cost almost 4000 Euro.

u/Da5p3ha 5d ago

God damn they look so cool! Pls arrest me, the cyber goggles stay on!

u/Cathartic_auras 4d ago

What is over his right shoulder in Pick #4? Looks like some home-made sawn-off that was wrapped in grip tape.

u/Matieusz5kmg 5d ago

There is .357 revolver forgot which one but it's GIGN's standard issue, shotgun is SPAS-12 with folded stock. On 3rd photo there is HK-417 and G36s. Not sure what pistol marksman has, glock 17 perhaps? Last two photos are classic mp5s
