*A toolroom prototype that is in technical firing condition, but is constructed largely with machine screws and requires disassembly to reload, was owned by Movie Gun Services, during which its forearm was replaced with an MP5SD handguard. This example has since been auctioned.

**Another prototype with more refined construction, though non-functional, was legally registered as a machine gun and has also been auctioned off.

*Unique to the Jackhammer was the ability to convert a loaded cylinder from the weapon into an anti-personnel device similar to a land mine by the addition of a firing mechanism. The cylinder would be loaded with up to ten 12-gauge shells and the firing mechanism fitted over the bottom section of the cylinder. A pressure plate or plunger could then set to mechanically fire the shells in the cylinder manually, or a spring-loaded timer could be used to rig the cylinder to detonate up to twelve hours later. As the cylinder was designed to contain the pressure of firing normally, it could be discharged and reused when used in this configuration.
