The Khyber region of Pakistan and Afghanistan is famed for its production of a variety of small arms ranging from the recognisable to the outright odd. This machine pistol was brought to the UK for analysis by the Pattern Room as it incorporates a number of interesting features that at first glance appear to be from famous weapons. Jonathan examines just where the inspiration for this hybrid machine pistol comes from.

Abdullah at Khyber Armoury has kindly pointed out that this design is based on a Tokarev-inspired pistol that you can see in a video on the 'Multi Projects' channel, entitled "Rusty Gun Restoration"

@unIDfied 2 года назад

Maybe, in terms of inspiration, you may look at the likes of: - The Czechoslovakian Skorpion Vz. 61 (may have found its way in the area), different caliber, though - The Vietnamese K-50M (same caliber) - The Chinese Type 64 and Type 85 SMG's (which also have similar magazines), or eve the Type 80 pistol Btw, the flash suppressor looks like one taken from a Russian SVD (Dragunov) rifle.

@sauragnmon 2 года назад

Your point on Machine Pistols and Stocks.. the Skorpion's a rather notable exception to that, isn't it? It's way too small to call a Submachinegun, yes? That said, your sheer awesomeness is epic. I envy you your job, good sir, I would love your job, to be a professionally paid weapons history geek.

@sauragnmon 2 года назад

Additionally.. there's just a part of me that would love to build a semi-automatic version of that, it's a rather interesting concept.

@Ugly_German_Truths 2 года назад

@@sauragnmon the distinction "machine pistol = firing pistol calibers, machine gun = firing rifle calibers" seems a lot more useful to me anyway. SMG is a weird category and with how much modification is possible and done in these times, you could switch a gun from one category to the other just by putting different butts on it...

@rangaaaa101 2 года назад

@@Ugly_German_Truths I think the number of 9mm SMGs makes that criteria hard to endorse. It's nowhere near as black and white as "has a buttstock" or "fires pistol caliber", but personally I think "could I see a modern military professional firing this pistol style?". I.e. two hands on the pistol grip, rather than one each on pistol/foregrip. This puts something like the skorpion or MAC-10 in the pistol category, while an Uzi or MP9 is an SMG.

@BeingFireRetardant 2 года назад

I believe Jonathan and also Ian... do it out of a deep respect for posterity, and the value of chronicling the more obscure historical firearms. Because just like each gun is a compromise of design elements, each gun also tells a story. And every one of those connect to important events that we all have a shared history with. In some ways the retelling of humanity's story. That's why this is relevant today. Not all gun channels are the same...

@HornyIndianMan 2 года назад

And thank God for them, because so many are lost to everything from massive poorly managed warehouses swallowing them up to outright malicious fear addicts destroying them with no mind to the historical significance. The story's of these weapons are all deep reflections of the time and place they were created and their invaluable cultural puzzle peices.

@0neDoomedSpaceMarine 2 года назад

I'm certain the idea of this style of gun is that someone thought the Broomhandle Mauser was really cool, but that they could make something cheaper and simpler that does the same thing. Given how popular 7.62mm Tokarev is in the region, particularly in Khyber Pass, I would be willing to assume that MOST of these are made for that cartridge, rather than the 7.63mm Mauser. Of course, some ammunition which is produced there is also somewhat weak.

@danishtariq7473 2 года назад

That's true. Most popular calibre here in Pakistan is 7.62×25 tokarev, 7.62×39, 7.62×54r , .303 and 8mm. 90% of guns made here are made for these calibres. However, on request they for sure can make in other calibres too.

@Willy_Tepes 2 года назад

If you have seen how they produce ammunition you'll understand that the pressure is probably low and inconsistent.

@0neDoomedSpaceMarine 2 года назад

@@Willy_Tepes I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, guns made there in recent years look more refined and nicely put together, potentially the ammunition making has improved. I figure also this is the kind of market where it'll really depend on where you get what product, some guys are not going to be as good at what they do as others. I've heard of smiths there who will make fine hunting shotguns, the old fashioned double-barreled kind, and they do it so well and put such effort into it that there are long waiting times for their services. It's a little ragtag and "orky" at times, but it's also a competitive market, even with lax safety standards, having a reputation of unwanted explosions is bad for sales.

@chrisball3778 2 года назад

To me, it looks like someone saw a VZ61 Skorpion in a movie, thought 'that looks really cool' and tried to cobble something that looked like one together out of a bunch of spare parts they had lying around. There's obviously C96 and AK parts involved, but the flash hider looks like an M14's and I swear there are a few hints of 1911.

@Rroff2 2 года назад

Yeah - my first thought when seeing it was someone had seen a Skorpion and tried to imitate it.

@oldesertguy9616 2 года назад

I was thinking the flash hider was more M-60ish.

@ianloughney9570 2 года назад

I think maybe you're missing a big point here which is that this gun is entirely shop made from scratch. There are no AK or C96 parts involved, nor are there m14 or 1911 parts. In the Khyber pass they don't make things like this as one offs usually, it's as a full fledged gunsmithing/manufacturing business. It's not like some guy tinkering in his home shop on the weekends.

Dad spent some time setting up aid projects in Waziristan, and saw them turning out AK's with CNC lathes and stamping machines. They've been making guns in the region for over 200 years, so it shouldn't be so surprising they're pretty good at it, but it always is. The difference between western gun manufacturing and manufacturing in these regions is this is about combining cheap, easy to acquire/make ammunition, with cheap, easy to manufacture weapons. In the west there's an oversupply of funds and an undersupply of troops, so having the best is the focus.

The barrel is a mystery, I thought "kees-bore" guns usually used cut-down ak or .303 barrels, seems a lot of work for a gun that won't shoot well (proprietary mag, even!). It's really cool-looking, however; cocking handle, flash-hider, apparently nice finish. Never dismiss the coolness factor on a craft-made gun. 8/10 would like more closeups ;-)

What a lovely piece, props yet again to Khyber ingenuity! I've always wanted to design a similar looking long recoil firearm chambered in .30 carbine.

0:17 reminds me a bit overall like a CZ Skorpion. But the elongated barrel is a bit weird. 0:33 nevermind. the angle you held it at really makes a diffrence.

Colt 1911 gouges out of the nose, Desert Eagle knuckle on top to stop the slide flying off, Skorpion folding stock...it's like Hideo Kojima saw all the cool bits he liked & made a gun!

Chinese Warlord pistols vs Khyber Pass guns, fifty each, who's still standing at the end of the firefight ?

That's be small caliber pistols vs every level of small arms from that to anti-aircraft guns, not much of a competition when .32acp faces off against .50bmg lol.

If this pistol was intended to be used by some technical staff, then the cocking handle might be useful when operating with gloves or even greasy/oily fingers. Personally, I think that it's a good idea to have it. PS: does the lack of rifling mean that the barrel will last longer and run cooler?

its almost like a mini14, a broom handle and a 1911 had an orgy and this horridly cool thing popped out.

Looks like someone who works a lot with M92 Berettas tried to build a VZ Skorpion!

Considering the whole contraption, I actually think that the charging handle could´ve a use. If you hold the side of your right hand against it like for example when loading a Garand you can press the mag release button easily with your thumb while inserting a new mag with your left hand. Yeah you completely "let lose" of the shooting grip but this way this gun could be reloaded somewhat smoothly. So maybe that was the idea there, not like much else makes alot of sense on that thing.
