Low-barrelled revolvers other than the Mateba

[Black Snowman]

Anyone seen one or knows any smith or company that makes one? I like the low-barrel revolver concept but don't want the "bells and whistles" of the automatic Mateba.

If no, anyone else want one? I might start a company

 

[George Hill]

It's an interesting configuration to be sure.

No, I don't think there is anyone else making them like that.

Would I be interested in one?
Er... it's a gun isn't it?
I heard a quote: "The only guns that are interesting are the accurate ones."
That's not quite true. Interesting handguns are also very reliable and powerful, with a good match of form and function. Let me see your prototype, and I'll let you know.

Hey Ogre...

What's the thing on top, gas port? Laaazzer beem?

 

[Nightcrawler]

In the show this gun is from, it holds an incredibly powerful yet compact energy weapon.

In real life, I'd be happy if it didn't hold anything. I think they could make a strong top-break if they really tried; they can make .45-70 lever rifles and such that are break-action.

Is that Vash the Stampedes gun?

observations...

Dual locking arms that engage the top rib to provide lock-up. Are they synchronized or must one push both left & right release levers simultaneously?

Free floating firing pin that is frame mounted.

Cylinder rotates clockwise like a Colt.

Appears that the locking bolt for the cylinder is exposed (or is it a cut-away drawing?)

Internal parts appear to be pinned into place. There must be enough spring tension to keep them from walking.

Top rib - holds candy?

4V50 Gary,

It's a cartoon gun.

I have cutaways of a Type II Phaser someplace, too...

Is that Vash the Stampedes gun?

Yep. Just watch out for Stungun Milly Thompson.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Trigun rules. A little weird, and a more than a little suspension of disbelief is called for, but it has a VERY engaging storyline.

Still trying to figure out how the auto-ejector on Vash's gun would work with the barrel on the bottom...
