TRIVA FUN

[k0ua]

AWE SHUCKS. Give me credit for trying. Have you ever shot TOP Brake revolver ???

Was there ever a semi auto revolver???

Come on folks there there are thousands of Trina things other than guns.

How hot does it get on the moon??
How cold does it get???

yes, a couple of .22's. Not a big fan of top break, but have no experience with a Schoefield or 44 russian or 44 American though.
Yes I have heard of a so called semi-auto revolver, but I can't remember what it was called. Some kind of half breed thing.

I can't remember how hot you would get in the sunlight on the moon, but I suspect probably about 175 F, and I seem to remember about -200 or so cold in the shade.. Well I just looked it up, and it says 100C for hot and -173C for cold.. so that that is 212F hot and -279F cold.. so I missed it some on both ends.

I was on Gunbroker the other day, saw a gun brand I wasn't familiar with. Mateba. Turns out it's a semi auto revolver.

Went back and found it to grab this pic, price is bid up to $5,000, so apparently not a cheap gun either. Not a bad looking gun!!

Webley made a semi-auto revolver; it was ugly as a piney wood rooter.

Yep, that is the one. I had seen it before, but could not remember the name.

Thanks so much for posting that. Never knew there was such a thing as a auto-revolver until reading these posts, and was completely unable to even grasp the concept until I watched the video. Fascinating!!

Ugly as a piney wood rooter... I gotta remember that one!

Is it an island????

That ugly old Webley is the one I was thinking of. Did not know about the more modern one.
Think years ago I saw a video of 1 being fired.

There was a rifle with a revolving cylinder. What happened to that "fine" fire arm??
See 1 in old westerns now & then.

Steve McQueen in " Wanted Dead Or Alive" carries a weird looking cut down lever action rifle.
His cartridge belt is rifle with 50 Cal shells, is that what it shot???
