I remember seeing a picture of this once somewhere, but can't remember anything else about it. You fired all the rounds in one cylinder, cranked another into position, and continued firing.
Looks a little bulky for concealed carry, but it sure is purty.
The hammer looks like it came off an old Ethan Allen Pepperbox, but the barrel looks like it was from a Colt. Possible it was a Patent Model from the Civil War Era for use aboard ships to repel boarders?
Just one of many weird ways they tried to increase the number of rounds on board back before box magazines and self-contained metallic cartridges. No weirder than some of those Belgian monstrosities with the over/under barrels and two rows of chambers in the cylinder.
Unless there is something very non-obvious about that gun then it can only fire a very low pressure round. The barrel is held in place with the brass colored "pillar" which gives it a huge lever arm to the barrel. When the gun fires the barrel would have a strong tendency break that support. And it looks like there is a big crack at the bottom already.
It looks to me like it is a non functioning prototype...
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
Big Mistake for Her
If Ginsberg had let Scalia put the words "strict scrutiny" in Heller and Hillary said "Gun control is just not going to be a priority for my administration," Hillary would have been elected President.

Um, it's awesome? And would go great with a steampunk outfit...
Looks like a way cool movie prop. Still want one - pintle mounted on my steam powered Jeep.

I hate to do it, but...
"Yo dawg, I heard you liked revolvers, so I revolvered your revolver for you."
whoa.

Looks like a version of a Puckle Gun with multiple cylinders on a turntable.
Have to be post-mounted, be damned heavy.
It's the answer to the question of how to complete in USPSA open class with a revolver. 8*6=48, plenty of rounds for a stage.
But can you make power factor? And unload and show clear would suck.
WV Dualie, more like Hexie.
