There is that really nice version of that made by the Turkish arms manufacturer who have mounted it on a drone platform and it lays down one hell of a field of fire. Just proves that war is a spectator sport!

As for the clip/mag thing, technically “clip” would refer to a metal enclosure generally loaded from the top of the action, open at the top, front and bottom to hold a number of rounds of ammunition, facilitating faster reloading. Examples are the US M1 Garand, Italian Carcano, Steyr M95.

Magazine refers to a metal box, open at the top, very similar to a clip. Loaded from the top, side or bottom of the action.

Clips are usually ejected automatically after the last round is fired, magazines have to be manually detached.

My favorites: Fabrique National (FN), SIG.

That's a pretty revolver! Partial to revolvers myself...I carry a 38 as my CCW. What does that weigh? Upwards of 40+ ozs?
I'm not sure actually. Looks like the 4" barrel weight 33.5, so this is slightly heavier, but it's not too bad. I think my 1911 is noticeably heavier.

Ok if I cannot get a Predator Drone my my next choice would be a 20MM Vulcan Cannon nick named The Hand of God.

Tell me there is not one guy here who wouldn't loose it if they could shoot that baby till your hands blend.

My two ones (owning them here is a paperwork, regulations and requirements nightmare, of course you can´t carry them, for transport they must be unloaded, separated from ammunition and in the car trunk, you have to have a special safe box which is more expensive than many arms, and basically surrender your rights to the police, so they can enter your house at any time without a judicial warrant. Any small offense will have them removed without compensation, only fifty bullets of each caliber allowed at your own house, where the guns must always been inside the safe box unless you are cleaning them, you get the idea) are a .22 Walther SSP and a Sig Sauer super target (9mm). They are great guns, very precise, but only suitable, specially in the case of the Walther, to standard pistol precision soothing (which is what I like).
