Dwayne,
I would love to bring you some menudo, but I'm not moving that far. Just about 10 miles into New Mexico. Going to build a smaller house with a bigger workshop and gun room vault. Maybe we can say howdy the next time I go to the Tulsa gun show (Wannenmachers).
I'm guessing those "spitoons" (that's what they looked like to me too) are shooting trophys.
Somewhere I have a picture of a toggle action machine gun that was a prototype design presumably to be mounted on an aircraft. The toggle worked on the left side of the action rather than on top. I'll be darned if I can find it right now, but I will keep on looking as time permits. Maybe someone else on the forum is familiar with this weapon and can post a picture.
The closest thing to a semi-automatic 9mm karabiner (Luger style) that made it on to the battlefield was the LP08 artillery Luger with the snail drum "trommelmagazin". I would think it was more of a "last ditch" weapon rather than a formidable assault piece.
