type 14 Nambu #2

Nambu obviously had Parabellum 1900 as a contour reference gun. I feel it's not easy to build a very compact gun when there is a barrel extension mechnism, i.e. bolt and receiver are seperated, not integrated into a Browning style slide. But the situation was a little bit better in Parabellum style pistols -- at least the magazine is in the grip and that saves some length. Pistol with barrel extension is now obsolete, but it's very stylish.
