| C'mon guys, this is "Other", somebody ask about something totally whacked out! |

I remember the COP if it was sort of a 4 barrelled derringer thing. How about those .410 caliber revolvers? I think there was one in the movie "Three Kings" and it also caused some bans of pistols that fired shotgun rounds. I suspect that it was a useless gun. I don't think a .410 slug or .410 buchshot out of a pistol would do a hell of a lot. |
| See Wave, we are here! Yes Aimless...the Thunder 5 shoots .410, 45 LC and an optional cylinder for 45-70. As a matter of fact, it was a choice of a friends wife. I got to fire it too. All cylinder and no barrel but close up it is intimidating. It rips off targets from the holder! Any "other" guns that were obscure? |
| The Iver Johson enforcer. An M1 Carbine cut down to 9.5" barrel and a pistol grip instead of a stock. Weighed about 10 pounds and took m1 clips or 5 and ?? maybe 15 rounders that loaded in front of the trigger, just like an M1 carbine. Fired (of course) .30 m1 carbine round. |

Hack..cough..[wipes cob webs from face]. Man we need the cleaning crew in here!! A co-worker who is a retired air weapons tech told me about a semi-auto revolver that was produced once a upon a time. Anyone ever see or hear of it. I'll have to ask him what it was called the next time I see him. |

Sure the mateba. home.mweb.co.za/af/afadrb/mateba.html There may also have been a british revolver in the end of the 19th beginning of the 20th century that would technically fit this defintion, but I'm not sure they were ever really made. I'd bet a nice frosty blue your buddy is talking about the mateba |

Yeah, they made a bunch. It was the Webly-Fosbery. .455 caliber. The whole top of the gun, barrel, cylinder, everything above the grip recoiled and turned the cylinder and recocked the hammer. The revolver even had a manual safety on it. It wasn't a bad gun, but needless to say, a bit more complicated than a revovler needs to be. Ross |
