This video explores the Winchester 1886 Line Thrower, a unique adaptation of the classic lever-action rifle. Originally a .45-70 rifle, these were modified by William Read & Sons with smooth bored barrels cut to 14.5 inches and chambered for blank cartridges to launch ropes for maritime safety.

This video explores the RWGÅ-3, a Polish tear gas launcher developed for riot police following the 1956 PoznaÅ protests. Designed to counter protests where hand-thrown tear gas was returned, the RWGÅ-3 utilizes a significant number of AK parts for cost-effective production. It features a stamped-receiver AK chassis with no gas system, replaced by a gas launching cup. Firing 7.62x39mm blank cartridges, it uses a modified 10-round AK magazine and AK grips to manage recoil, launching tear gas grenades at a much greater range than manual throwing. The weapon saw substantial production and export within the Warsaw Pact and allied nations.
