Crazy P-38 looking pistol

[dpoe]

Hey guys, so I'm up late studying for finals and my mind is wandering like crazy.

So like any normal person, I start looking at guns from around the world and I came across this pistol from I believe Croatia that was made in the 1990s during its war for independence.

Well anyway this is what it looks like... kind of a funny looking deformed P-38. Funny part to me is if it was made in the 90s why did they try to create an "improved" version of a pistol that was at the time 50+ years old?

I'm just typing whatever comes to mind now. I really should be in bed.

heres the link the page http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg218-e.htm

I feel your pain; what are you studying? I just had my nose in my Microcontrollers book.


That's a sweet handgun too. I like it.

Both those guns on that site look like frankenguns. Just not right.

Maybe they had access to some of the old tooling equipment from WWII era!

Old tooling. That's what I thought of. Not a bad looking pistol.

The Beretta M92/M9 series is a PIP P-38, as was the Walther P-5.

I think that SARCO was selling some of those a while back.
