Alvin,
Aren't those "bulky" British pistols Gabbet-Fairfax Mars examples? Rare and expensive too if I remember correctly.

Lyn.

Yes. They are. Very expensive pistols. I heard all of them were prototypes, this gun never went to mass production, it's a very rare long recoil design.

Regarding those prototypes,,,, personally, I agree with a youtube.com viewer's insight on a prototype Mauser self-loading rifle. Toby Hogan commented on the following video (quoted here, because I assume same could be applied on Mars):

"its a failed concept gun, not an early model of a production firearm"

Nevertheless, it's still a very interesting gun.
