[Shooter 2.5]

What were they thinking? All they had to do was put the barrels together and swivel the ignition system to fire at least two aimed shots. Too much manufacturing costs when a simple blunderbuss would have done the same thing. Supposedly, this was sold to sea captains for use against mutiny's.

And now for something completely different.

Second generation Mateba in .357 Magnum. The first generation is on my profile page and I think that one looks great. This one with the shorter barrel and the compensator looks just plain stupid. And ugly. The price for something that's not being made anymore was ugly too. At least they added scope mounting holes.

Yikes. That first one looks like a potential injury for the shooter.

I want one of those “mutiny” guns. Break it out at the range and watch the guys in the lanes next to you run for cover...

Very cool 2.5 !!

One of my all time favorite revolvers is the Phillips and Rogers Medusa. The Medusa chambers, fires, and extracts 25 different cartridges in the .38/9mm/.357 ammunition range. I want another one. The one I had was sold to pay for living expenses as a young married serviceman when beans were more important that bullets to the kids.....who knew ? It was my Melrose H. Tappan III aka Mel Tappan survival era handgun. The phillips and rogers cylinders were at one time available for the 686/681 S&W’s as well the design was incorporated in a small colt handgun called the “survivor” for a short period in time......... It was a great handgun for a world traveler as ya never knew what was available locally ......as to caliber / cartridge combinations.

With more advertised anarchy and zombie biker end of the world as we know it scenarios be they man made or not such a new and improved upon handgun would be high on my list for the emergency locker at home and on the road.

Ya’ll stay safe !!
