That is a "Spud Gun".

You stick the barrel into a potato and it cores out a piece that stays in the barrel.
Squeezing the trigger then uses air to expel the potato slug. (LOL, be careful ...very dangerous :) )


Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
In order, the objects on the page are:
1. An AK variant (Avtomat Kalashnikova)(usually an AK 47 would be fully automatic but variants are usually available in the US in semi-automatic form)
2. An AR-15 variant
3. FN P-90
4. IMI's Uzi type submachine gun
5. .50 cal rifle (could be a Barrett M90 or M95)
6. Walther PP/PPK type of pistol
7. CZ 75 pistol (Pre-B version)
8. RPG 7 type launcher and rocket ("Ruchnoy Protivotankoviy Granatomyot" not "Rocket Propelled Grenade" as is commonly thought. It translates to "hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher")
9. A Spud Gun
10. Le Automobile
11. A percussion-cap muzzle-loading pistol
12. Ruger No. 1 rifle

Last week i saw the 10 best rifles in the World and teh AK 47 is the number 1 among them.
During Vietnam war the AK 47 was pushed to service along side with M16 from US and it was a winner.
After that all bad boys and all bad countries have AK47 as their primary weapon in view of America...but nevertheless AK had revolutionize the whole concept of guns...

Which AK 47 are you talking from the Above Variants? :lol:

I like the One in Blue, though the shape seems to be a bit odd. ROTFL ROTFL
