None In The Chamber

#7 - The Ratte and The Monster (Nazi Super Heavy Tanks)

If there’s one thing most people know about tanks, it’s that they’re heavy. The Panzer 4 weighed about 25 tonnes, multiple times the weight of a modern care. That’s pretty heavy, but what if I told you that the Nazis almost built a tank weighing 1000 tonnes? Today on None in The Chamber, we’ll be looking at two of the heaviest proposed concepts for World War II vehicles.

The De Lisle Carbine - #1 (Remastered)

Today we're going to be taking a look at a gun that I'm a big fan of, 1942's De Lisle Carbine. A stealth rifle so quiet that even modern guns struggle to match its low volume, the De Lisle was a bizarre creation that came in a limited run of 129 units, never receiving any kind of official continuation. But why didn't it catch on?

#6: The Gilboa Snake

Why use one gun when you can use two? The Gilboa Snake isn't the world's first attempt at making a double-barrelled rifle, but it's certainly the most recent.

#5: Wyatt Earp's Colt Buntline

Wyatt Earp is one of the most famous figures in American West, but his famous long-barrelled Buntline may not have even existed. Was it a real, one-of-a-kind firearm, or just another romanticized part of his legacy?

#4: Experimental M1903 Variants

You've probably heard of the famous M1903 Springfield, but did you know that it's undergone a lot of different experimental changes? Here's five somewhat weird variants of the M1903 from the annals of history.

#3: The Home Guard's Smith Gun

When the Home Guard got desperate, British ingenuity stepped in to fix the problem! It's just a shame that they ended up killing more of their own men than German invaders. This is the story of The Smith Gun.

#2: Soviet Space Guns

Soviet space guns are real, and they're also... really weird? Here's two of the weapons they wanted to arm their astronauts with that we never saw again: the TP-82 Cosmonaut Survival Pistol and the Soviet Laser Pistol.
