Consider / Flakvierling

Post by Nordwest »

In the year 1972/1973 a complete so called Flakvierling was "found", and offered by an "individual" person in Hessen, at that time the asking price was 25.000,- German Marks, including several hundred rounds of AA ammunition...

The weapon was ready to shoot, like fresh out of production, we went there, to see this with own eyes, unreal!

The "seller" was sentenced to several years in prison, for selling a "fully automatic weapon", in terms of the german Kriegswaffenkontollgesetz.

This quad gun, even in the 1970s, was able to shoot down every aircraft, landing or starting at the Frankfurt airport... :roll:

P.S. This Flakvierling belongs to a well known museum, nowadays, as far as I know the only "working" example.

Who was the prick who squealed to the cops? He should have been shot on the spot.
