I built GunGuesser, basically GeoGuessr but for guns. More importantly, I made a dedicated Cursed Guns game mode for communities like this to enjoy.

the site is called: GunGuesser.com

Please let me know what cursed guns to add, the pool should be larger!

Husqvarna m/40 Serial Number 232

Picked up this early serial number m/40 today at lgs. Holster is labeled Lindkvist (assume last name) and T2 (using ww2 era Swedish unit designation, would be göta army service corps, a logistic regiment. If I’m wrong here, please correct me)

Zastava factory gun collection

Last year, when I was writing my book "From Balkans to Babylon: Zastava AKs of Yugoslavia, Serbia, and Iraq", I visited Zastava factory and their showroom, where they have a collection of AKs and other guns produced by the factory.

I managed to get detailed photos of some of the most interesting stuff. Let me know if you wanna see some of those guns in more detail in future posts.

Direct translation of the news article

On February 1, the Dongchangfu Branch of the Liaocheng Municipal Public Security Bureau launched a coordinated operation involving multiple police units. With strong support from relevant departments of the Liaocheng Public Security Bureau, officers used video analysis, on the site inspection, DNA testing and identification, forensic examination, trail analysis, stakeouts, and other investigative methods to swiftly solve an homicide case. The suspect, surnamed Wang, who had fled to an area near Jinan Railway Station and was preparing to escape, was arrested.
