Whoever designed that had to have waited for Alexander LeMat (USA), Pierre Beauregard (USA), and Birmingham Steel Work's (UK) joint shared patents on the LeMat hammer mounted fire selector switch to expire in 1875 before proceeding to unveil that specimen...

 


Holy shit... That was definitely a new one for me. I have seen that picture in the past and always assumed that it was a pinfire from the late 1870s - 1880s and had a hammer nose rotating switch enabling you to choose which level of the cylinder to fire... Three at once... Damn...

ETA: That .22 pinfire you posted afterward probably was the one that had a selector mechanism... And speaking of which... At this point, having a standard pistol grip on that monstrosity seems like a moot point. Just mount it to a lantern frame with a bucket bail and a hand crank so it can be operated like one of those portable WWII air raid sirens... LOL...
