Porter Turret Rifle: Awesome But Dangerous
This video reviews the Porter Turret Rifle, a rare firearm that achieved serial production. The description highlights its unique revolving cylinder design, which differs from traditional revolvers by having radially arranged chambers. This design, while visually interesting, presented a safety concern with a chamber always pointing towards the shooter, contributing to the limited success of turret rifles. The video also notes the Porter's distinctive receiver opening for action visibility and its unusual priming and firing mechanism on earlier variants, with the reviewed model using percussion caps.
