👉 The Johnston Weapon, also known as the "Johnston Rifle," is a unique and controversial firearm developed in the early 20th century by Johnstone & Co. Ltd., a British firearms manufacturer. It is notable for its unusual design, featuring a detachable magazine that could be swapped out for different calibers, allowing the weapon to fire a variety of ammunition types, including both cartridges and shotgun shells. This adaptability was intended to make the weapon versatile for various military and law enforcement applications, particularly in scenarios requiring rapid changes in ammunition. However, the weapon's unconventional design and potential for misuse have led to significant controversy, with concerns about its regulation and the ethical implications of its use. Despite its innovative features, the Johnston Weapon has never been widely adopted and remains a subject of historical interest and debate.
