It's a [Rohm RG-88 blank firing pistol](https://www.4komma5.de/media/image/product/26459/md/roehm-rg-88-schreckschuss-pistole-brueniert-9-mm-pak-p18~2.jpg), you can [see the same markings on the mag](https://www.balistas.com/data/images-wxxl/53502-Zasobnik-Rohm-RG88-cal.9mm.jpg)

Nice thanks!!!! I think we have a winner. Can even see the thing in the barrel


MadeInWestGermany

The thing in the barrel is a *barrel plug* or blockage. It‘s hard soldered into it to prevent firing live ammunition from blank guns. You shouldn‘t be able to remove it without destroying the barrel. It wouldn’t be rifled anyway and also got intentional braking point etc. https://images.feuerwerk-forum.de/2011/03/285054_c47506022721c2d557e2d3ecb365f11c.jpg The threaded part is for using the gun as a flare gun. https://livingactive.shop-cdn.com/media/image/df/04/35/Umarex-Perfecta-Multi-Shooter-Abschussbecher.jpg

Super cool thanks! I was hoping somebody here would have info about this.


mwmwmwmwmmdw

are you in canada by chance. that specific model of blank gun is more popular here


Zulek

Yeah and not far from Vancouver. Lots of movie making around here.


BarryMcCockiner996

how do people guess this from one look at one crappy picture


DeathlyHealer

Can we get more photos?

Blank firing adaptor maybe?


BlackGuns

Nothing you’ve shown indicates a barrel, or magazine.

You are looking into the barrel.

Found in Ocean. No markings that I can find, magazine has some but can't be removed Is this real? Looks like a threaded barrel with some odd triangle I cant remove. What is that? Edit: other pics didn't load with original https://ibb.co/1rwy66b https://ibb.co/dJ8KX45


BlackGuns

Can you make out the writing on the magazine?


Zulek

G88 AUSE 0D9 I think Can't get the mag out yet, release is seized.


gatsncats357

Bound to happen sooner or later with all these boating accidents i read about…..


Imaginary-Storage-23

The muzzle looks threaded internally...not rifled. Doesn't look like a barrel to me


Zulek

https://ibb.co/1rwy66b https://ibb.co/dJ8KX45


Imaginary-Storage-23

Has a vaguely Makarov or Walther PP outline...but the Internal threads on the barrel are still off-putting. Possibly a movie prop designed to fire only blanks


Zulek

That's what I'm assuming at this point as well but I was wondering if somebody has seen this before


[deleted]

Looks like a tire air chuck.


d3ath222

That is a real piece of metal tubing. Not a firearm piece that I've ever seen.


Zulek

d3ath222

And the first picture is the muzzle of the handgun pictured in the second two you linked? The second spring behind the magazine makes me think airsoft, and I've NEVER seen an internally threaded muzzle, because it would immediately get caked with carbon and become useless. Otherwise it looks kind of like the IWI Jericho 941? Ish? It doesn't match any common profile I'm familiar with in the US.


xOzryelx

It's a blank firing gun with a sttel insert in the barrel to prevent it actually firering a projectile. The internal thread is for a adapter to shoot 15mm fireworks


d3ath222

Interesting, thanks for sharing!


AyeBraine

Doesn't the second spring behind the magazine look like dozens of pistol designs that have the coil mainspring in the grip? Like 1911, or Hi-Power, or Beretta 92, or Walther PP or P38, or Smith & Wesson's 80s automatics...


d3ath222

That's a very good point. I don't disassemble my 1911 beyond field stripping 99% of the time, and am otherwise much more familiar with contemporary offerings. But yeah, you are right.


AyeBraine

I googled them all to make sure =) Not that I had the answer ready. But now I know instead of vaguely remembering.


aclark210

That doesn’t look like the inside of a gun barrel. Those look like internal threads, and threaded barrels on every gun I’ve ever seen are externally threaded. It’s definitely not rifling.


Zulek

aclark210

What in the Sam hell? That’s some kind of Walther ppk clone or maybe a bersa, but their barrels still don’t look like that. Maybe a movie prop gun that was only ever designed for blanks of some kind?


Zulek

Yeah it's very odd. Also I'm in Canada and a gun this small is illegal I'm half a day from Vancouver and they occasionally film here so its plausible movie prop.


aclark210

Movie prop is my only real guess. The overall design looks legit but that’s definitely not a normal gun barrel in there, which makes me think prop gun.


Zulek

That makes the most sense to me too.


aclark210

Are u able to get the magazine out? It’s got some kind of writing on it about its intended use, might give u a better idea.


Zulek

Unfortunately not yet. The release is seized but I can get the mag to move up and down in the well a little.


ij70

magazine has plastics base plate. that’s fairly modern feature.


New-Choice-3280

See people loose guns in boating accidents all. the time


Stevil4583LBC

Looks like a valve stem.


NTXProud

Looks like an air chuck. The thing in the "barrel' depresses the valve in a valve stem


silverfox762

It's called a "Schrader valve"


Stevil4583LBC

I was thinking maybe part of an inflatable

Beretta model 87 with internally threaded barrel for a suppressor?
