    That one is high on the list of strange…

    But…but….no one prior to now EVER thought of advancing technology!

    Dang. If you tied that to a man’s hands, you could spit* him to death.

    Probably unlawful in Colorado.

  5. Paul Kisling Says:

    I would hate to see the CC holster for that!

  6. Matt L. Says:

    I know what you’re thinking. Did he fire 47 shots, or 48. Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?

  7. Texas Mike Says:

    It appears Mr. Enouy had way too much time on his hands.

  8. Lyle Says:

    Nice, but at that point you should go to a belt-fed configuration with individual percussion chambers hinged together, as it would be mechanically simpler. On the other hand, the Remington New Model Army (circa 1863) allowed swapping of cylinders pretty quickly, so rather than carrying your spare cylinders on the gun in a complex and bulky contraption, you’d carry them on your holster belt or in your pockets, al la Clint Eastwood in “Pale Rider” (though he was using cartridge conversion cylinders).

    Possibly the only crew-served revolver ever developed.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
