Better known as the Semmerling, from American Derringer.

There is another semi-automatic revolver that was in production until quite recently, the Mateba.

Another unusual gun is the knife from G.R.A.D. that has a 5-shot .22 rimfire revolver hidden in the handle.

here is a pistol with a $44,000 handgrip.

[Captain C]

I believe it was during WWII, The Aussies converted an Enfield bolt action to full auto, and the Americans converted a Winchester ever action to full auto. Talk about ugly weapons!!!! Saw them a long time ago in my American Rifleman magazines....

not different from a single action revolver, load it, co ck the hammer, and pull the trigger, reco ck and turning of the cylinder, is done by recoil.
or just push the barrel against any surfice, that will co ck and turn the cylinder.

I haven't heard the "pushing on the barrel" trick. The correct way was to pull back on the tab/protrusion just below the hammer like how you would pull on the slide of an auto pistol.

I have to agree, this is one funky design that's too complicated for its own good.
