This very odd one-off pistol first appeared in a 1958 Golden State Arms catalog, with no description of its history or mechanical design. I have often seen it referred to as an automatic revolver, but this is a misconception - what appears to be a cylinder is actually a rotary magazine, akin to a Ruger 10-22.

That is the most badass revolver I’ve ever seen. Looks like it was used to fight sky pirates on airships.
Basically Bioshock lmao
nah
I could see that
If it had a different grip and better machining overall this design wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi setting
“Skyrate”
For those wondering, this sold for $2,500 (which seems like a steal for such a unique, published experimental firearm).
that should have sold for 10x the price. if the guy who bought it is smart, he should get a blueprint made as that is a unicorn that should have a replica in a museum. real pioneer in thinking who made it.
damn, I would've paid that much...
@@anikidwolfy he should have the blueprint made and then commission a couple hundred made I'm sure even as replicas you'd be able to sell them for 1000$ each

It wasn't complete and no one knows what the missing parts look like to replace them.Very few people would want it at any price.
I know I’m late to this party, but is it possible that the bolt/barrel lockup was self regulating with chamber pressure... in other words the expansion of the case creates friction with the inside of the chamber sufficient to keep it closed?
holy shit its the LockPickingLawyer?!??! Never expected to see you here!!!
@lockpickinglawyer I think that would just be normal blowback operation unless I'm misunderstanding you. If I am, do you have an example of another gun that uses that locking style?
Cory Yalowicki The Tommy Gun comes to mind... at least that’s what I was thinking of. There must be others, but I don’t know any offhand. A more effective version of this friction delayed blowback uses a concave ring in the chamber to increase friction when the case expands. I can’t think of guns that use that, but I vaguely recall reading about it. 🤷🏻♂️
@@lockpickinglawyer The Tommy Gun used a Blish Lock, which was based on the assumption that the static friction of two dissimilar metals was greater under pressure, which was incorrect. It didn't work at all and was effectively straight blowback. The friction-delay you're thinking of was used in the Fritz Mann .25 pocket pistol and the Kimball .30 carbine pistol. That worked too well actually, the cases would expand into a groove in the chamber and get stuck or blow out. I like your channel BTW, keep it up
I forgot LPL was American. Nice to see you here man.
It frustrates me to no end that it's incomplete.
Beautiful piece. Would love to see it in action.
Introducing the revolutionary, non-revolving revolver!
tfw you reinvent the pistol
Looks like something that could come right out of Fallout. ^^
Hey! It's THAT GUN!

That Gun is based off of Deckard's gun from Blade Runner.
LOL I was thinking more like Firefly.

lol, i would depend on a 10 year old benz no second thought. in fact my 7 year old bmw has 270.000 miles down and is "purring like a cat" (german saying if something runs smooth)
***** sorry if i misunderstand your post, but what has your grandma to do with german cars. i'm german and here in germany most german build cars work for a pretty long time especially those brands called luxery brands like mercedes, bmw, audi and so on. but i have to agree about faults in the luxery equipment. this stuff tends to break down way sooner then the actual car. like i said sorry if i misunderstood your post, my native language is german.
oh and ask your grnadma about "schnurrt wie eine Katze" :) thats what my bmw does.
is "automatic pistol revolver thing" an official designation?
Yes it is, also look-up the Webley-Fosbery Auto-Revolver as another example. Ian has done a "Forgotten Weapons" video on it.
Yes. Very rare.
By the look of it, isn't it really an internal rotary magazine handgun?
@@MarlowQAI There's also the Mateba Model 6 Unica auto-revolver. It's also neat because the barrel aligns with the bottom chamber instead of top chamber.
@@OnlyKaerius The Mateba appears in Shirow Masamune's *Ghost in the Shell* movie. The team "rookie" Togusa persists in using it although The Major wants him to use a regulation semiautomatic pistol.
When I first saw this firearm, I thought "Now if the barrel was on the bottom...." :D
Omg, it's a full-semi-auto clip-fed assault-revolver.

That looks like something that would have been the result of a five-part do it yourself series in Popular Mechanics in the late 1940s or early 1950s.
6 part series, but only 5 parts were ever published, explaining the missing firing pin etc. 😂😂
This seriously is cool. I'm pretty disappointed that we didn't get to see how the whole thing works, due to the missing firing pin housing, but wow. This thing really is a work of art
God, I would love to take this and reverse-engineer it. Fix the bolt, make more of them.

Agreed, I'm actually talking to a smith about building a functional reproduction and hopefully people pick up on automatic revolvers as a consequence haha

Hell yeah somebody needs to mass produce these the only problem is it’s automatic

Sometime in the 20th century:

Dan: Just watch!

WTF is that gun and what was its purpose?!
It was ceremonial
That is when Dan asked his friend to hold his beer.
It looks like something i can get from a raider while im traveling on the wasteland.

Alejandro Medina okay this literally looks like something I would find in Fallout like jokes aside it literally looks like this gun was supposed to be in the game but they forgot I'm dead serious LOL.
LOL you're not kidding

Alejandro Medina No shit. Pretty sure I've paid an exorbitant number of bottle caps, a perfectly good, functioning auto-rifle and not a trivial number of 'favors' for exactly this in Fallout too - sorry to give up the illusion of reality/fantasy by invoking the game to which you so subtly refer.

Nice reference. Is it from JoJo´s
i don't know how it can look so old, yet so futuristic...
It blends well to games like Fallout
This is the gun used by every actor in western action films. That is how they can shoot 18 rounds before reloading.
It really looks like something Doc Brown would've invented, while stuck in the 1800's.
Michael Smith well said, Maul.

i appreciate the reference though.

as M Smith already observe, how awesome would it be to see Chris Lloyd with this item? or perhaps, to see a similar item in Firefly or in Nuka-Break?

*Oh hello Benny.*
Ain't that a kick in the head?
"Benny, you gotta see this!"
Very disappointed that it wasn't complete. Seems like some sort of "proof of concept" engineering sample.
I suspect it was complete at some point and missing chunk is a result of malfunction.
This shit absolutely gets me going.
The mystery, the design, the steampunk awesomeness. All the questions, who made it. Why.
Immediately I’m thinking of a plot line to a Cthulhu noir novel, a mad engineer thrust into the lovecraft world, and inspired to craft new weapons to defend himself. Unimpressed by the performance of 5-6 shot .38 revolvers of the day, inspired by the operation of larger artillery pieces, he modified a revolver frame into a semi automatic, clock spring wound cylindrical magazine holding 10-12 rounds of 7.62x25 Mauser or Tokarev ammunition. A home made, C-96 inspired, revolver modification project if you will.
Used to defend himself and hunt the servants of the greater evil, with hardened carapaces and thick muscle, and often traveling in packs.
What an absolutely fascinating piece.
This revolver reminds me of a cursed gun comic of a person loading a revolver like a glock

U right
Shame that there's no info known about who created it. Clearly put a lot of care and effort into it, and it's a pretty amazing artifact.
It's crazy to see how, at one point, in time, inventors really pushed the envelope with design and function
One way of getting a slightly better idea if the owner wanted to get detail would be to get the steel analysed. Steel is constantly changing and all sorts of metals are added (as well as varying amounts of carbon) and the composition could give an earliest possible date. The rounds it was designed for might give a clue as would close examination of fixings such as screws. Between 1860 or there abouts and about 1970 screw sizes tolerances and TPI were changing a lot. The threads alone could give an earliest possible date. EG if it has SAE threads it would have to be post 1912 (extremely likely anyway), but if it has for example UNF threads it would have to be post 1950. Just an idea and it wouldn't give a very accurate date unless it does use UNF/UNC in which date it could be narrowed to an 8 year window.
Smart.
Your assuming the screws are not custom made as well.
@@desepticon4 You still use a standardized tool for making the screws.
Why make your own screws, when it's one of the easiest part that can be sourced from a store. Making your own custom screws is work, but buying a pack and a fitting threading tool is way easier.
Also don't forget that starting in the 40's/50's there is an increase in background radiation from surface nuclear tests. That has an impact on things like carbon dating. There are even some who source steel from sunken pre-WWII ships, because they still have a different radiation profile.
If owner would allow it shroud of Turin firearm
"Son your great great grandpa was steampunk before it was cool"
i was so thinking what steampunk nightmare is this .
I am in love with the look of this thing. It looks like it belongs simultaneously in blade runner, wild west, and fallout.
Post-apocalyptic cyber cowboys!
In other words, it belongs in New vegas
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this thing is absolutely gorgeous.
I don't know about gorgeous in its current - or viewed 8 years ago - condition, but it's definitely interesting enough that I'd like to see one completed and functioning.
That looks beautiful, the craftsmanship is incredible. Whoever made that is a master of craftsmanship.
Looks like there was a rear tilting locking block that is missing. It may have locked the slide and breach block together for the short recoil phase and after moving back it then unlocked the rear by raising it out of the two rear notches on top (I'm assuming that the rear notch on the right side has been sheared away at some point). The firing pin transfer bar would be in this locking piece and part of the safety of the design would be that it if was not locked the transfer bar would not be in line with the hammer.
That's a good catch - I didn't think about a locking block being among the missing bits...
I had much the same idea. Take a look at the top. There's a lateral cutout on top of the bolt with a matching cut on top of the 'slide', but only on the left side. My guess would be that the right side used to match, but part of the notch was sheared off at some point, accounting for the void above the 'safety lever'. It looks like there's a large cross pin at the front of that slot in the bolt. Maybe the locking black tilted on that so that a projection on the rear dropped into those notches.
Ian, if you can get another look at that gun, see if that void above the 'safety lever' looks like something broke off, and check for a camming surface sticking up into the slot in the bolt.
My idea is different and simpler, it is that the barrel and the bolt aren't locked together per say but rather made to stay together for a while simply by design, first by the empty casing is forced to expand into a chamber that might have a notch cut in it like on some of those old pocket pistols I can't remember the name of which use the deformed casing to lock the bolt and the barrel together more or less by strong friction, this combined to the fact you can see on the video that the barrel travels its few millimetres back much easier than the bolt + barrel assembly later has to.
Basically my theory is that by following the path of least resistance the force will simply take the barrel back through its small travel before taking the bolt back, but that could only work if there is a sufficient amount of friction between the brass and the barrel which would imply some kind of notch or pattern cut into the chamber.
This is resurrecting a post from the dead, but I wonder if you had a borescope if a small hole could be found going from the bore in the rear barrel support down into that spring chamber... gas pressure would hold the block and barrel together long enough to be useful delay. It would eat springs, but this is someone's wild idea anyways so....
@@mfree80286 Nothing wrong with Zombie posts.
Do I spy a second hole in the bolt face below where the firing pin should be?
It's sad seeing this interesting weapon in such a state. I would love to get my hands on it and make a new one to see how it performed and why it was forgotten.
who ever buys that could make a fortune selling casts of it for the prop market for cosplay and steampunk sites.
Not a bad idea! :)
I'd totally buy a resin model of this.
Forgotten Weapons I'm getting a prototype feel from this pistol.
I’d pay handsomely for an airsoft replica of it.
it looks like something straight out of Firefly.
This looks badass, is overcomplicated in basically every way, and I would buy one if they ever produced them
The revolver for the average working man in the alternate universe of 1913. Every cybercowboy has one of these in the saddlebag of his motorcycle. I've heard the governor even has one with autosights.
that pistol is absolutely gorgeous!!! it reminds me of the revolver from trigun.
Somebody said it! It kinda does doesnt it? makes you wonder if thats what they were going for in Trigun
@@daltonkellebrew2236 You just need a blocky part on the front for your crystal that turns you into a plant.
Two things about Vash's gun - it fired from the bottom cylinder like a Chiappa Rhino, but it's also a Top Brake instead of the usual swing-out cylinder. If I had f-u money I'd have one commissioned in a heartbeat.
Shut up, weeb.
I'm pretty sure this was made by a company called Jakobs, although I always liked their assault rifles better than their pistols
I see whatcha did there.
Remember, if it took more than one shot, you weren't using a Jakobs!

Preposterous. Their pistols are their best products.
It’s giving off a kind of Bladerunner blaster feel for me lol

The machining looks really nice. On first glace it's quite crude but all surfaces are smoth, no sharp corners, nice construction.
I actually like the idea of a rotary magazine, makes for a compact gun, just manufacturing and maintenance would be pretty nasty.
screams steampunk do they have a replica or a replica of gun that looks like it
+gambitraven Nope.
+gambitraven This was also most likely just an unrefined prototype weapon. A lot of shop floor guns have a similarly exposed and complex look before they are refined for mass production.
full auto revolver is easy to make you need single action revolver and put the gas tube on the barrel. If you shot piston in gas tube move back and put the hamer back hamer rotate the magazine and hit the another bullet.
+_Colnex_ Just mount the barrel and cylinder on a slide and use the recoiling mass to re-cock the hammer and rotate the cylinder, like Mateba does it. Putting a gas tube on a revolver..
+SmeurkeDeKat the matebas don't shoot full auto tnough, only semiauto(i think that's what he wants)
This looks like something you'd see in a fallout game.
+ANx3h Or any post-apocalyptic/steampunk themed movie, game, TV series, ...
Tina Hunt Yeah.
looks like a pipe revolver
+ANx3h or a Mandalorian pistol
nickd1961 If you altered a few aspects, it would look a bit like one.
For how old it probably is, this is amazing. It looks crude of course, but I'm sure it wasn't completed. Man I would love to know more about this. Somewhere out there, alive or not, there is the person who created this.. and I'm sure it wasn't their first, or their last..
That's a beautiful mechanism, weather worth it's complexity and function or not. It's the fact it exists. That bolt closing has a very satisfying sound. The sound is a big part.
It looks like malcom renolds gun from firefly
I'll say this gun looks like it aims to misbehave.
May well have been the inspiration for his pistol, it really does echo the design of this amazing piece.
Me: “Can we have the Mateba Autorevolver?”
Mom: “No, we already have the Mateba Autorevolver at home.”
The Mateba Autorevolver at home:
Makeshift weapons always look interesting and have personality but I would be terrified walking up on someone or trying engage in a firefight wondering if the damn thing will work when I need it to. Pull the trigger and it goes "click" and then the other guy pulls a factory mass produced and guns you down.
That's why, if I ever were to make one, it would be a simple single-shot breach loader. Can't do too much wrong with that. At least not as much as with any type of self loading system.
the firing pin was in a reciprocal toggle to allow cocking and allow the transfer bar to be struck. Thumbpiece locked the toggle's charging piece.
I hope whoever bought this thing is a skilled and uniquely-thinking gunsmith who finishes what whoever made it started. It would be quite something to have a functioning example of what is without a doubt one of the most interesting handguns the world has ever know.
Everytime I rewatch an old episode I note that TH-cam has removed my like... so I just like it again.
Sometimes its not them its just bad connection. Like on ebay ill add a listing to watched items, but it never actually did it
This looks like a handcannon straight out of Destiny, I swear...
Call Jim West, he knows who built this gun, either Dr. Lovelace or Miguelito.
That is the same person-Dr. Miguelito Loveless.
I know I’m five years late to this but god damn it looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie
Wouldn't doubt this gun being the inspiration for the 10mm pistol in the original fallout game.
I wonder if the guy that designed this went on to become an armourer/prop master for Firefly?
This might sound a little silly, but is it possible that the part locking the barrel and recoil mechanism together was in the slide/firing pin assembly?
Late to the party, I know, but... that's clearly the case. If you pause the video around 2:06 th-cam.com/video/r7me_z0Qdcs/w-d-xo.html you can see that the notches in the bolt and slide line up perfectly, and a pair of lugs on the back of the missing piece would have fit right into them, locking the bolt to the barrel. The lever at the back would not have been a safety in that case, but a way to unlock the bolt for manual cycling. You can see that the lever's position doesn't really make sense for a safety, but it would be perfectly positioned to push up on one of those hypothetical lugs.
I'm honestly kind of amazed that Ian didn't notice that.
@@kennmikos9120 Good point! Only argument that I could see against that is the short travel of the lever, but it might have been spring loaded or simply been an unlock lever, requiring the user to flip up the part to actually disengage the lugs.
So that is like the SCP equivalent of a pistol.
Good to see Ian finally getting a seat at the adults table this thanksgiving
This appears to be a shop prototype and appears to have a rotary magazine like the Mannlicher-Schönauer rifle produced by Steyr Mannlicher, so it can't be called a revolver like either the English Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver, American Union Automatic Revolver, Norwegian Landstad revolver, or Italian Mateba Autorevolver. The firing pin and it's associated striker extension as shown are missing. The caliber from a chamber casting would go a long way to at least pinning done probable countries of manufacture.
the Fallout New Vegas vibe is strong with this one
This is the most fallout looking gun I've ever seen.
I think we just found the US Military's replacement for the M9 Beretta !
The qualities been on par with modern videos since minimum 8 years ago. Dang, dude
One of the most interesting firearms I've seen
Fudds when they see this:
“oH yOu JuSt RuInEd A pErFeCtLy GoOd ReVoLvEr!”
5:43 it seems to be a safety based on retaining the firing pin (wich is missing with it's cover).
My only question is: How do you reload the weapon? Does it have have a speed loader magazine that prevents the slide from moving? So curious...
He imagine reloading it and getting like pistol garand thumb
It's got a great sci-fi western feel to it; I can just picture Jayne Cobb wielding it in a scene from "Firefly"
I absolutely love how’d this thing looks
My guess would be that this is a blank firing movie prop from the 1950's, it looks vaguely familiar but I can't put my finger on it. The way the action was designed, plus the poor quality sights and elaborate mechanics makes me think this could possibly have been an old big-budget sci-fi prop.
reminds me of the blade runner gun, but I don't think it was made as a prop
An excessive amount of work would have to go into making such a prop.
Seems way too complex for a prop, why not just visually modify an existing gun?
@@guerillarice1129 Yeah. Just take a existing revolver and slap some plastic parts to it just like they do with for example Star Wars.

This gun reminds me of “Landstad 1900” is a semi automatic revolver pistol that was made in Norway.

This gun was def the result of a gamble, where two drunk friends got the idea and made it for lolz.
Goth Bladerunner gun? It almost looks like a Starr Arms model 1858 frame and trigger but not quite..
The Mateba 6 Unica and the Webley also come to mind..
I was getting strong Webley vibes from it
looks like some kind of steampunk gizmo,lol, I guess the idea was to make a semi auto w/ a rotating magazine,wonder what calibre it is.
Bore diameter is .45, but nobody has done a chamber cast to see which cartridge.
humm possibly .455 webley,may be the platform for this idea was a fosbury /webley.still a very interesting design. great video.
"Very steampunkish" I was thinking the exact thing!!
Aww, 6 years ago Ian wasn't even tall* enough to properly sit at the table, look how much he's grown!
This pistol is in Mark Serbu's private collection now. Incredibly designed mechanism.
i wonder if he has a say on it, i'm very hoping he would but it's very very unlikely
I wonder if Adam Savage watched this video. he would love it.
Don't give him any ideas Ian!
Ian, give him all of the ideas!
Too bad he probably wouldn't let us know if he made any of them..
what if its a weapon let by someone from the future that came back in time to the 1950s and something happens to them and the revolver get found that would be amazing
That's some crazy steampunk/fallout gun right here...
Someone take it apart and make a funcional replica please :v
Just as I thought, the cylinder was spring loaded. All that's missing is a fixed firing pin piece to fire this as an automatic. Unlike the Mauser pistol that uses clips to load the bullets, this one would require each bullet to be loaded one by one.
God i would love to see that thing operate, it seems like it would look so cool firing with that bolt and slide. Hopefully this makes its way into a video game or something!
looks like its out of blade runner
