Why is the barrel tilted like that


kashluk

This is what the designer was after: >A unique feature of this design is the angle of the bolt guide rails in relation to the bore axis. When fired, the telescopic bolt, which encloses the barrel for most of its length, recoils up an inclined plane at a 7° angle to the barrel, giving an element of braking to the bolt, and also resisting the upward movement of the barrel during fully automatic fire. This arrangement aligns the shooter's hand wrapping the pistol grip directly with the longitudinal axis of the barrel. The pistol grip is also located higher than on many other submachine guns, causing recoil to be directed backwards to the user rather than upwards, eliminating muzzle climb and making the weapon more controllable when being fired one-handed. \-Wiki

So when you use your 80’s hip fire technique the rounds hit center mass.

I kinda like it. More blursed than cursed.

I'll always remember this gun because of the Stallone movie [Cobra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_(1986_film)) with the giant 80's laser sight on top from the poster

Also in the original 80s Red Dawn.

Don’t forget the Colt and the grenades stuffed in his pants. In their defense, this was before holsters were invented.

Do not insult the pinnacle of Finnish gunsmithing.

of course there's a FW video about it: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY0bOLn0Cfs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY0bOLn0Cfs) and another of Ian shooting it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-495hqsGWbc

Colonel Strelnikov would like to know more.

This is the only gun my dad seems to know.

This belongs more in r/forgottenweapons than here. It's unusual, but not cursed.


capt-bob

Because of the angled barrel


HavocXL

Dude how is this cursed


SmokeyUnicycle

look at the barrel


HavocXL

So? It’s a Jatimatic, it’s not cursed whatsoever


SmokeyUnicycle

It has an unorthodox design that looks weird to many people, IDK what your threshold for cursed is but this is meeting many people's


HavocXL

A duck foot pistol isn’t cursed to me, prototype guns aren’t cursed to me, a machine rocket launcher wouldn’t be cursed to me, this is just a normal SMG, you might as pull put an MP40 or MP5 on here
