The Lyrics

Without getting into too much Milspeak techno-history let's just say that the Picatinny rail system (MIL-STD-1913 or STANAG 2324) from ATK started out as a modification of the Weaver railing of the 1980s that sought to eliminate iron sights altogether on rifles. The Weaver railing allowed standardization as a scope mount and later accessories for rifles on almost any type and some auto-pistols like Walther types. The Picatinny railing is a modification with larger locking slots which can take a wide range of accessories on all 4 sides: various optical scopes, night vision devices, tac lights, laser designators, foregrips, and bayonets... While many Weaver accessories can generally fit the Picatinny system, the same is not true for the opposite system. Highly successful, PIcatinny is used in the civilian and military sectors with citizens, police, soldiers, HRUs, and SFs on their weapons.
Quickie Picatinny
On most Milarms are employed
Quickie Picatinny
Good for accessory toys

Quickie Picatinny
Rifles, are largely deployed
Quickie Picatinny
Brings SFs tactical joy

Soldiers love Picatinny
Accessories are too many!!!

Uses? Well there are plenty
With Weaver- not that many!!!

Saw someone advertising a bayonet to fit the M1911. Weird. Guess the Brits had one in the First War for the revolver. Have you seen the new double barrel 1911? Supposedly going to be used in one of the super hero movies this summer.

The double-barrel M1911 is made by Arsenal Firearms:

And the bayonet mounting for auto-pistols can apply to many with the railings. The CZ-75 looks great with one! I think the gun you were thinking of in a Superhero movie was the double-barrel Desert Eagle from "The Green Hornet"... unless there's another one coming. There's also a triple-barrel revolver available- looks crazy!
