POTD: Arm Yourselves! – The Bushmaster Arm Pistol
Sam.S 06.07.23
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have a giant failure in the firearms world…Good for them for trying something different though. The Bushmaster Arm Pistol starts its introduction in the 1970s and into the 1990s. Developed by the firearm manufacturer Bushmaster Firearms International, it featured a strange style. The Arm Pistol is known for its odd design, it hasa gas piston system that reduces recoil and enhances overall shooting performance despite its awkwardness. This would be nice if it was not so clunky. The pistol is made to be braced against the inside of your arm while firing.
“Manufactured between 1977 and 1990, with a laser sight attached to the gas tube.
