I think not. It's interesting to see inside.
If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you carry a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

I got a chuckle out of the "M14 EBR" caption to one of the photos. :lol:

Yes, I know it stands for Enhanced Battle Rifle. That's not what it means around here! :lol:

I mentioned in a post about reloading that I used to own an Xray company

Here is an Xray I took of a few of my guns from the 80s
Points to folks who can guess the models ...

Its a picture of an OLD 14x17 film xray backlit by my Dell Monitor and photographed with an IPhone so the quality has suffered some

Looks like I over exposed the wood grips on the revolver ... Too many KV of power used ...

I wasnt doing it to deglamorize - i was doing it cause it was cool ..

Its clear I should have taken the image with the magazines in the pistols and a round in the chamber

Beretta 92 (who'd have guessed you had one of those?), Browning Buckmark, and dunno about the revolver.

In looking at the artist images they have to be CGI to some degree - or layers from separate images
you cant expose the poly stock and see the bullet INSIDE the barrel with the same energy level of Xray ...

Very cool looking

I wonder if he is selling prints

here is a cool non gun related image
again - has to be CGI

Same thing I noticed. The funnel end of the MG42 being the thing that tipped me off.

The M60 has a flash hider available too but...

The biggest clue is that the M60 is gas operated and the MG42 isn't...

Seems Legit. I bet that is one big xray machine.
