[QUOTE=Martini Enfield]  
The Type 94 Nambu is frequently regarded (and with good reason) as Worst. Service Pistol. Ever with, the Type 26 revolver a close second

I think this is the [same Type-94 Nambu](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_94_8_mm_Pistol) that came to mind, that could be accidentally fired _by pressing part of the receiver._

Doesn’t quite beat the [Nambu sword](http://www.gunpics.net/images/Useless.jpg) (that was apparently a one-off, sadly), or the [LMG with bayonet attachment.](http://world.guns.ru/machine/mg54-e.htm)

Yep. [del]Krusty Brand[/del] Imperial Seal of Approval. 😉
