    In 2004 I saw a pederson device for sale. Out of my 35+ years of collecting militaria it was the only one I've seen for sale in person. It was the rifle, device, magazines, magazine bag and tools. $80,000 in 2003. To say they are rare is an understatement. But side note, the magazine bags still show up from time to time for not to expensive.

    During the Rhodesian Bush War, many unorthodox weapons were developed. The Bren in 7.62x51 had modified FAL mags welded together to make 35rd mags, The Rhoedesian SAS modified a Hispano 20mm auto cannon to be light enough to carry in a small helicopter and pushed on a specially-made bipod with wheels through the jungle to overlook a bridge at the Zambian border. Farmers would often make a wide variety of slam-fire shotguns arranged in rows or circular pinwheels around their vehicles to defend against a roadside ambush. Most designs had a series of pipes on either side of the vehicle loaded with 12gauge shotgun shells. When the driver pulled a lever, the barrels (pointed upwards) would drop down to hit a firing pin and discharge to fend off an attack. Thats not even including the weapons modified for special forces. RPDs with chopped barrels, suppressed AM-180s, or AKMs with suppressors and subsonic ammo. One AK was heavily customized to include a variety of built-in survival features like a .22 flare launcher in a folding stock, a compass in the hand guard, and illuminated night sights, and a few other features.

    The Pedersen device was a brilliant feat of engineering. The Rifles were ultimately sold as surplus, though they still were kept in service until the 1903 and 1903A3s were completely retired from service. They are safe to use as they aren't low serial numbers. The devices themselves were mostly gathered up and destroyed. Few examples survived, I've seen one for sale at a gun show. I don't believe it was necessary to remove the standard rifle rounds from the rifle regular magazine since the device would take the space of the regular bolt and wouldn't be feeding rounds from it. The device also filled in the chamber so it's impossible to feed both cartridges at the same time. There was also a modified 1917 Enfield rifle that had its own Pedersen device made, but they're about as rare as hens teeth

    I think Forgotten Weapons said it never worked very well, and for it to make a difference you'd have to supply tens or hundreds of thousands of troops, and to do that you gotta convince proto-boomer fudd generals that they need to swap out the old rifles they love and trust for a newfangled gun that barely works and shoots a way smaller casing. It's a tough sell to get thru all that mess so it would be hard to say if it would have made an impact. Not to mention around the same time, the MP18 and BAR were created, which are both far superior in terms of function and reliability, so in reality the army probably would have just focused on those two types of new weaponry instead of conversions. A good example in history is the .308 converted M1 Garands in the 60s. As soon as M14s were more readily available, all the converted M1s were dumped

    The device was a compromise wherenone was needed: a simplified Win. M1907 in .351 SL would have been cheap and easy to produce. A dedicated .32 APC carbine might have been just as easy to supply as Pedersons and Modified M1903s. Arriving at an enemy trench with a loaded semi-auto long gun woukd have been pretty hot.

    A very effective upgrade was developed in New Zealand to provide machine guns for use for local defense when nearly all of our aromatic weapons had been sent overseas for use by forces in action there. It was the Charlton machine gun which was a modified .303 Lee Enfield bolt action rifle which when fitted with bren gun magazines made for an effective if odd looking weapon. As they were locally produced with local resources they filled a very real need.

    It is crazy, canvas lined planes could easily take hits since the bullets would just tear through the canvas. Surprisingly, some of those types of planes were used to take on the Bismarck and managed survive a torpedo run and get a few hits on it, and make it back to the carrier safely. yet a damn shell casing in the engine could muck it all up

    The AUG A3 can be equipped with a special barrel shroud made by Corvus Defensio (I think its Corvus Defensio anyway) which allows the user to attach the same underbarrel grenade launcher as what can be equipped to the G36. Steyr Arms also makes an upgrade kit for the G36, and dubbed their version the G62. It replaces the polymer upper receiver with a metal one, an upgraded barrel is optional, and there are a few other things too. Steyr would also provide an optional "NATO" stock for the civilian version of the AUG which makes it able to accept STANAG magazines rather than its usual proprietary ones. And yet aftermarket magazines for either version are made by Magpul as well. Ratworx makes a metal sear to replace the plastic one for the civilian AUG to lighten the trigger.
