This is a community dedicated to discussion around historical arms, mechanically unique arms, and Ian McCollum's Forgotten Weapons content. Posts requesting an identification of a particular gun (or other arm) are welcome.

Rules:
1) Treat Others in a Civil Manner. This is not the place to deride others for their race, sexuality, or etc. Personal insults of other members are not welcome here. Neither are calls for violence.
2) No Contemporary Politics Historical politics that influenced designs or adoption of designs are excluded from this rule. Acknowledgement of existing laws to explain designs is also permissable, so long as comments aren't in made to advocate or oppose a policy. Let's not make this a place where we battle over which color ties our politicians should have, or the issues of today.
3) No Advertising This rule doesn't apply to posting historical advertisements or showing more contemporary ads as a means of displaying information on an appropriate topic. The aim of this rule is to combat spam/irrelevant advertising campaigns.
4) Keep Post on Topic This rule will be enforced with leeway. Just keep it related to arms or Forgotten Weapons or closely adjacent content. If you feel you have something that's worth posting here that isn't about either of those (and doesn't violate other rules) feel free to reach out to a mod.
5) No NSFW Content Please refrain from posting uncensored extreme gore or sexualized content. If censored these posts may be fine.
Post Guide Lines
These are suggestions not rules.
-Provide a duration for videos. eg. [12:34]
-Provide a year to either indicate when a specific design was produced, patented, or released. If you have an older design being used in a recent conflict provide the year the picture was taken. Dates should be included to help contextualize, not necessarily give exact periods.
-Post a full URL, on mobile devices it can be hard to tell what you're clicking on if you only see "(Link)".
-Posts do not have to be just firearms. Blades, bows, etc. are also welcome.

Revolverest unless you count belt loading.
yo dawg
48 shots, more than enough to kill any man.
OK this one wins! It's a tea cup ride that shoots bullets 😂
Teacups are exciting now! But Russian roulette got more boring.
Surprised there wasn't something like this in Borderlands. This thing is perfect for the firearm absurdity in the series.
If Bandit ever made a revolver, this would be it.
So would this violate high capacity magazine laws?
Strictly speaking it doesn't have a magazine (just a ton of loaded chambers) so it would depend on the wording likely.
Can anyone recommend a good concealed carry holster for one of these? Mine keeps printing for some reason.
Mugger: Nyeah, see, gimme your wallet!
A well-prepared self-defender: Okay, okay- Hnng, my heart, call an ambulance-
A bucket clatters to the ground.
AWPSD: But not for me!

🔫
Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire forty-eight shots or only forty-seven?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself...
I’m thinking of the weight of this thing. Bullets you could keep on a belt or in a pouch. Hell, even replacement cylinders. This is right on the gun
I thought I knew what I was in for, and this is exactly as silly as I imagined.
The elbow shooter
At this point it just seems more practical for it to be belt-fed, since the time spent reloading that thing would get you killed toot sweet
For that it would have been nice if you could take the cylinders out; on that note I'm imagining a speed loader with 8 full cylinders.
I heard you like revolvers, so I got you a revolver for your revolver.
