Sweet. I've been trying to learn drawing guns myself. Did you copy this from a picture or you have one of these babies lying in the trunk of your car?

I WISH I had one of these! But no, I just drew them from my mind. The top one, the bullpup autoloader (semi-auto), is based on the High-Standard M-10A. I've researched it so much that I know it's design without having to lo0k at a picture. Also, I have a photographic memory, so that helps. The bottom one, the reverse pump, is my own design. There are only two reverse pump shotguns I know of: the Neostead NS-2000 (South African) and the RMB-93 (Russian).

The Neostead and the M-10A are both bullpups (receiver behind trigger group). The M-10A is based on the Remington 11-48 autoloader. Unfortunately, the High-Standard M-10A and M-10B were discontinued in 1975. You can still find them here and there at gun shows or in the collections of gun owners fortunate enough to own one. They're expensive to0, probably because of their rarity.
FunFact: An M-10A was featured in the movie 'Alligator 2' and is practically the only reason to watch that flick because it's lame. Only a hardcore gun freak would watch such a lame movie just to see the M-10A in action...and it isn't in action very long which hardly makes it worthwhile. Also, it's refer'd to as an "assault shotgun" rather than by its proper name. It doesn't even harm the giant alligator because its hide is like armor.
