This video showcases a rare Model 1864 Milanese style saber-revolver, a fascinating example of impractical but visually striking firearm design from the mid-1800s. The presenter highlights a specific variant closely following the work of Carlo Maria Colombo in Milan. This 7mm pinfire revolver is ingeniously integrated into the hilt of a saber, offering a unique blend of edged weapon and firearm, though its practical use for aiming is acknowledged as challenging. The video thanks Ader of Paris for the opportunity to film this historical curiosity.
This video showcases the unique Lebeda 4.5mm Pocket Watch Gun, a fascinating firearm disguised as an Elgin pocket watch. The internal watch mechanism has been replaced with a single-shot pistol capable of firing a 4.5mm BB using only a No. 11 percussion cap. This design bypasses NFA regulations as an 'Any Other Weapon' because it doesn't use fixed ammunition. The video references a book, 'Firearms Curiosa' by Lewis Winant, and promotes Forgotten Weapons' Patreon and merchandise.
This video showcases the unique McCarty's Peculiar Revolver, patented in 1909. Designed for high capacity, it holds an impressive 18 rounds of .22 rimfire ammunition through a vertical turret system. While innovative, the design's bulkiness likely prevented mass production. The video notes the existence of one such firearm, documented in "Firearms Curiosa," and references its patent submission.
