Remember the "COP"? The ugly little stainless .357 4 barreled handgun that shot to 4 differing points of aim, if it didn't misfire. I had one, just wondered if anyone else had one.

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?

Quoted:
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.

I remember those. Universal and Plainfield had some too. Mine was the one with front and rear pistol grips and wire stock, 15 and 30 round mags. Couldnt hit a darned thing with it, but the brass ejected in one nice group! A neat little pile. At least it wasn't PC.

I shot 5 rounds of Winchester Super X 00 buck thru my Thunder Five. Ended up with some of the shot lodged in the barrel. Sent it back and now I have a new in wrapper pistol. Now I just have to find someone to buy it. Ha.

Sure the mateba.

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.

Has anyone ever handled or fired an ASP handgun?  They only made one model for awhile, and now they are a leader in impact (baton) weapons.
