Maj. Anthony Fiala's weapon looks like a semi-automatic pistol, but in reality it is a repeater. After each shot the slide has to be actuated by hand. The barrel is removable. The gun was sold with short barrel for a pocket arm, a medium-length barrel for target shooting, and a long barrel for use with shoulder stock which could be screwed to the grip to make a rifle. The gun was never very popular, and therefore is not common. While Fiala magazines look a great deal like early Hartford or...

7 After shot leaves barrel, a small amount of propellant gases is metered from barrel to piston assembly through two gas ports. Initial recoil of gun causes piston to be displaced toward muzzle due to piston inertia. This displacement restricts amount of gas metered to piston chamber. Amount of restriction is proportional to recoil and therefore to load being fired. Energy or rearward push applied to piston is thus controlled within practical limits, and the user does not have to make...
