The POF Tombstone 9MM Lever-Action Rifle is what you get when you ask the prop designers from Aliens and Starship Troopers to design a lever-action rifle from the future. It's covered in aluminum, polymer, and rails - and feeds from an SMG-style magazine. All it needs is a weather-worn olive drab green paint coat, and it would look like the ultimate xeno-slaying carbine.
If your first thought on seeing the 9mm Tombstone wasn't either, "What the f---?" or "Why did they make this gun?" then you're definitely in the minority.
It's weird. But not in a bad way. It's weird, like the spaghetti in Cincinnati chili, not blasphemous like pineapple on pizza. That's why everyone I showed the gun to either loved or hated it.
But is it all style and no substance, or can this new pricy space-age lever gun hold its own against more classic designs?
