In my not so humble opinion, after my first "what the hay is That?", is that That would be an insult to both US Marines US Army of the Pacific Theater and the IJN Marines and IJ Army. I don't know what the intent was but the creator should have had second thoughts and said "Naw. Bad idea."

I checked my primers with a tool retriever magnet.
The small pistol, small rifle and large pistol were not attracted.
Two brands of shotgun primer were attracted by the magnet.
A local gun store clerk who doesn't know the difference between BUCKshot and BIRDshot?
With that level of inexpertise he should be working for the network news.
Salt in my gun barrel? I shoot a Mosin with Russian military surplus ammo & shoot blackpowder and BP substitutes. I often clean like there's salt in my gun barrel. So not a big point to me.
When I experimented with rock salt in 12ga shells I used BP just to connect to the 19th century. I...
You might get the impression Mare's Legs are common in Movies or TV but what I found on Internet Movie Firearms Database:

1958–1961 "Wanted: Dead or Alive" Josh Randall (Steve McQueen)
1968 Minnesota Clay Jubbs (Ferdinando Poggi)
1968 Once Upon a...
Before the federal 1934 National Firearms Act made them AOWs or SBRs, factory-made .410 single shot pistols with 12" or more length barrel were not classified as pistols or handguns in several southern states pistol laws (pre-1934) because they more likely to be carried by trappers for defense...

Personally I would not want to carry in court. I have thought through the scenario of trying to retain my carry piece against a desperado or hot head in court should they try to take it.
These days some folks think .410 anything is a myth made up by old timers.
When I took my MIL on a Sunday drive in the country in the late 1990s, I'd stop at a country store on the way and buy a box or two of these. They pattern closer from my .410 than the 3 inch 5 pellet 000 load. Which I...
You call that pulling a shot?
I could feel the butt slip on my shoulder as I pulled off the third shot that landed at 8 o'clock in the 8 ring.
I know that sick feeling all too well. That was my 100yd Benchrest Black Powder Cartridge match target. The buffalo was looking back at me with smirking...
I got my .357 handgun (Ruger Security Six stainless 4" barrel Hogue grips) because it has all the features you'd pay extra for in a .38 Spl target revolver.
.357 out of my Rossi lever gun surprised me. From my pistol .357 158gr JSP splatted on my 3/8ths inch thick steel swinger. From the 20...
I use large pistol magnum primers in rifle cartridges in black powder (Goex, Swiss, Pyrodex, Triple7) loads only.
I do not use large pistol magnum primers in smokeless powder loaded rifle cartridges. My son or grandson may inherit my rifles and ammo.
Large Pistol primer cups are a little bit...
My son got a great deal on a ".380" Makarov.
Yes some Makarovs were sold rebarreled for .380. The owner was up front and said the functioning was not perfect.
Turned out this one was original 9x18mm Makarov caliber so yes .380 ACP was a sloppy fit. Shorter case. smaller diameter bullet. So-so...
It's been a while since I heard a Savage Model 6 called a "Gill Gun". Stepdad had one. Worked semiauto for .22 LR. You could push the steel bolt handle in to lock the bolt for short, long, long rifle. The "gill" vents helped reduce fouling build up around the bolt head in semi- auto mode.
From the Wikipedia write up on the Makarov PM (which marches my limited experience wth my son's Makarov):
"... After firing the last round, the slide is held back by the slide stop lever/ejector. ... After loading a fresh magazine, the slide can be released by pressing the lever on the left...
