This video from Forgotten Weapons explores the unique "harmonica" style of pistol, a short-lived firearm innovation from before modern centerfire cartridges. It highlights two examples made by Jarre in France, both utilizing the pinfire cartridge system. Notably, these pistols feature an automatic slide advancement mechanism activated by the trigger pull, distinguishing them from earlier manual-indexing harmonica guns. The description also mentions Jonathan Browning, father of John Moses Browning, as a notable American maker of these unusual firearms. The theme music is by Dylan Benson.
