Is this thing even real?
Can anyone identify this handgun?

This is about the closest real thing to it, the M79 40mm grenade launcher. One of my military science professors carried this in Viet Nam when his shoulder was too injured to raise a gun to the proper level. They had controlled recoil to make such a weapon shootable.

This is real, an AR pistol with a 37mm flare launcher.

I used one on a USAF EST and Recapture Team in the early 1980's. Much better than the M-203.
Thanks all.
I second the: 'would be a cool bbq gun'.
Something I've always wondered, but never asked...
Why does the stock look like it was installed upside-down? My guess is because of how it's aimed, like a M203, but that manages with a normal stock.
Just curious.

When I used an M203, I never shouldered the stock.

I had to run an M203 range once, many, many years ago, with another guy. As I recall, the shooters had to shoulder fire the training rounds. Also had to use the sights, no shooting from the hip.
Pretty sure that with a little practice one could shoot from other than the shoulder and do pretty well with it.

It fits well and can really be shoulder fired. I could put rounds into a window at 50-75 meters even with some wind. 203 was accurate but used more to zap an area. Now the MK-19, boy howdy!!!!! Shooting them will make your sticker peck out!!Thanks all.

That's funny right there! 
I've only seen crew served (mostly vehicle mounted) Mark 19's. There's a configuration to shoot from the shoulder?!? If so, Wowzers!

Mk-19 rocks. I've seen the Coast Guard with them, but it is one of the few weapons I didn't get to fire back in the day. Best experience ever was shooting the M167 VADS.

Crew served only. I will try to post a picture of my truck in Iraq. I have a couple after action photos, MK19 makes a mess. Kills bugs dead!
I thought so, crew served only; didn't think it possible to make a shoulder fired version, but they are always 'improving' designs. I've seen it in action personally, but pics always appreciated.
