The Webley Mk IV Revolver of Solomon Islands

歴史

Webley Mk IVは、頑丈さとシンプルな操作性を追求して作られた中折れ式リボルバーです。銃身を折ると空の薬莢が自動的に排出されるため、素早く再装填ができました。第二次世界大戦の前から期間中にかけて、多くのイギリス領で標準的な護身用銃として採用されました。

ソロモン諸島では、現地の警察官やコーストウォッチャー(沿岸監視員)が護身用としてこの拳銃を携行していました。可動部品が非常に少ないため、潮風や熱帯の激しい雨、泥の中でも問題なく作動しました。

冷戦時代を通じて、Webleyはソロモン諸島警察隊の主力拳銃であり続けました。警察官たちは、後の時代に近代的な自動拳銃が導入されるまで、日々の任務や海上国境の警備でこの銃を身に着けていました。
