dalbert Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I saw this Reuters photo posted from Egypt on FoxNews yesterday...I'm posting it here for identification purposes. Can anyone identify this tear gas gun? David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanDavid Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 They also made a pistol version as well. These riot guns seemed to have sold quite well around the world as they often show up on news clips. I believe the guns were actually manufactured by Webley & Scott in Birmingham UK. They have been marketed as the Webley Schermuly as well as Pains Wessex Schermuly. Regards AlanDSydney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
