In the effort to make ever smaller and handier pocket pistols, why doesn't anyone take the snubnose revolver to it's logical conclusion and bring back the pepperbox?
Not the big, heavy Hopkins and Allen types, but something like a modern double action revolver (whether the cylinders revolve or not) that shoots directly from the chambers in the cylinder.
I wonder if there is some BATF rule that has legislated them out of existence?
Here's a bad illustration, with apologies to Smith & Wesson:
