18 round revolver???

[drumenigma]

Anybody know what the heck this thing is? I was surfing using stumble and it pulls this pic of an 18 round double-barrel revolver. Now this is my kind of revolver!

That actually looks like it's a little photoshopped.

But either way, you wouldn't be able to fire both barrels at a time because the inner 6 don't lline up with the outer 12.

I'd sure like a peek at the hammer.

It's not 'shopped. It's a Lefaucheux-system pinfire revolver from around the 1850-60's. It's at the bottom of this page.

This seems to come up on here every year or so, maybe we should make it a sticky?

You right, me wrong !

Guess my Google-Fu isn't working today.

Yeah, but your memory's better. I had to work backwards on Google with "18 shot pinfire" because I forgot the name of the inventor.

I would rather have a automatic revolver...
