The 'Le Formidable' is a pre-WW1 pocket revolver by Manufrance, chambered in 8mm French Ordnance. It features a unique right-side cylinder flip and a cut-down hammer for concealed carry. Despite its historical significance, its heavy 17lb double-action trigger and small sights made it challenging to use effectively in a BUG match, where it performed poorly.
The Tirmax is a rare pre-WWI .32 ACP light carbine manufactured by Franken & Lunenschloss, likely proofed in Liege, Belgium. It features a simple blowback action, a 5-round detachable magazine, and was intended for small game hunting. Range testing revealed some reliability issues, common in older Belgian firearms, highlighting its status as a unique historical oddity rather than a mechanically revolutionary design.
