Would this firearm cause a Ruger #1 Guy to sort of smile?

Looks like fun to shoot, but it would get expensive quickly!
 
As a Ruger #1 owner it really wouldn't make me smile to compare both.

However it would be fun to shoot one of them but costly at the price of ammo these days.
 
Jfet, thanks for sharing. I don't know how much of a comparison there is between it and a Ruger No.1, but the similarities between it and an H&K MP-5 come to mind.;);)
I was not trying to compare the firearms. I just think it would be fun to watch a hard core fan of Ruger #1 rifles shoot the firearm in the video and then try not to smile after dumping the magazine. I admit that the title of the thread is click bait to get ya’ll to watch the video. Just watching it made me smile. I hope it has made ya’ll smile, too.
 
I just fail to see what this has to do with a Ruger nº1
 
The small auto carbines are always a hoot to shoot, but my favorite sub gun is a Thompson.

I agree mate why thow pebbles when you can throw house bricks.
If'n it needs to be stopped in a hurry only a 45 will do.
 
It looks like it fires from an open bolt?
I’m a #1 guy & I keep thinking of all that brass I’d have to pick up to reload & I’m sure some would be lost?
fun to watch though, thanks for sharing.
A lot of guns from WW1 and WW2 era fired from an open bolt. I won't go into the reasons, but suffice to say that it was easier to manufacture.

Some famous examples of open bolt firing guns are the BAR, Bren Light Machine Gun, MP40, Sten Submachine Gun and the Uzi.

@Jfet - Thanks for sharing. Cool video.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
