HOLY CRAP.
That looks intense GM, but is it hard to shoot with the massive barrel? I mean, you can't hold onto it or anything.
Seems like it may have Mac-10 syndrome(no place for second hand).

AdAstra: I would like any luger, but that one in particular looks pretty good. The photography may have something to do with it.

It's no harder to shoot than any other carbine. You just have to layer your hands on the grip instead of resting the weak hand on a foregrip, which the gun lacks.

Well, it's not one I own, but when I saw the M4A1 Custom in Metal Gear Solid 4, I've been twice an AR fanboy than I was before. And it even provided the visual basis for the fictional M5 gas-piston carbine I created for a military story.

This is an original Colt Single Action Army 5.5" Artillery from 1875 with Vulcanite grips, pretty much no finish (but it still looks nice) and "E.E." carved on the butt, indicated the original owners initials. The hammer spring is snapped but it will eventually be replaced by another original so the hammer at least cocks properly. (In this image the gun still had a working hammer spring BTW)

Note the beaten up butt, indicating the owner was a working man who would pound nails in with it, because apparently a hammer isn't good enough.
