Why aren't all guns like this?
Just a lil bit of shotty, just in case.
Literally no downsides.
>>28443735
except for them being illegal, and making them heavier than shit, and more complicated, and more costly.
>>28443746
Completely legal.
Slow to reload and a bit massive.
>>28443735
Taurus makes them, but everyone laughs art it.
>>28443746
> illegal
Niggawat?
You can buy them right now. No FFL needed.
>>28443771
Yes, in blackpowder. 20-gauge smoothbores are a bit of a no-no these days.
>>28443771
>>28443781
That specific gun is legal to buy, yes. OP didn't ask where to buy a lemat revolver. He asked "why aren't all guns like this?"
You couldn't legally manufacture one today in the same way using modern cartridges.
>>28443836
You actually can manufacture them legally, they'd be an AOW.
>20-gauge smoothbores are a bit of a no-no these days.
Literally what
Does anyone make a decent readily available lemat reproduction?
>>28443777
No they don't. a revolver that loads shotgun rounds isn't the same as a revolver that loads normal rounds with a smooth bore shotgun barrel in place of the center pin. There's no modern version of the LeMat unfortunately. You could make something like the lemat carbine with a long enough barrel, or add rifling to the shotgun barrel if you wanted to make one today.
>>28443858
no. Pietta has a reproduction model, but they're not very easy to come by, and they're not cheap either.
>a 9-shot .357
>.410 barrel for axis pin, with superficial shallow rifling with a 1:200 twist
Would be dope.
>>28443948
make it happen
What's with all these retarded childrens threads?
There's been like 10 in the last ten minutes
>>28443948
>I was thinking something more like a nagant revolver action on a carbine length barrel and a full sized rifle cartridge like 30-30, and double triggers instead of the flipping firing pin.
>>28443948
Ugh. If you're gonna settle, at least go up to 28 gauge.
>>28443948
It's going to be huge anyway so why not go AT LEAST 28 gauge. .410 is barely a shotgun

>>28444203
the nagant revolver action was overly complicated and probably wouldn't work with a center shotgun barrel. Just use a normal revolver action and add some guards like they did on the rossi circuit judge.
>>28444334
>>28444256
WOW. Atleast go up to 10 gauge, thats a real mans round you wimps.
I feel like a .410 underneath a glock 17 or something shouldn't be much heavier or awkward than the flashlights and other shit people strap on their pistols.
Accurate? Nien. Practical? Well, who knows? Maybe good for murdering snakes and pests and shit. If you treat guns as a tool it might be useful to have multifunction. Not everybody is a tacticool operator, some people just work outside.
Would be worth looking into anyway.
>>28444334
ATF has a problem with that. That's why they said no to the 28ga Judge
Can someone explain how this works to an absolutely neophyte?
>>28444782
It's a 9 shot revolver with a dual-position hammer.
Lower hammer, you have a single shotgun round.
>>28444813
What's the intended use? I mean it seems cool but somewhat impractical.
![Trigger[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/VLlK4dn.jpg "Trigger[1].jpg")
>>28444782
The revolver part works the same as any other revolver.
To switch to the shotgun barrel, you flipped the hammer down before pulling the trigger.
>>28444830
>why would you want a revolver with more rounds and a shotgun in one convenient package?
>>28444861
I'm not questioning the practicality of having more rounds. I just have to wonder what the designer was thinking when he made it. Other than "This is so cool"
>>28444830
Reloading means death. And if you are on horseback, you will not be shooting a rifle with much precision.
Sometimes, something needs to die rightthefucknow.
>>28444874
>I want a revolver that has a backup shotgun in case I need it
>>28444355
thanks for the input, i think you are right, the guards would probably work better, but the shotgun is a non-issue as the shotty barrel would be part of the cylinder, also do you(or anyone else) know what the lever is for on that circuit?
>>28445514
they made a lever action version of the judge. it rotates the barrel and cocks the hammer.
Posting sexy modernized Lemat.
Black handle.
Open action.
>>28445937
Remove that whole slab of metal beneath the shotgun barrel. Serves no purpose and would just add weight.
>>28443794
Arnt most shotguns smooth bores?
>>28444978
God bless america
>>28445923
I am now completely erect
LEMAT bump
>>28444874
>just have to wonder what the designer was thinking when he made it. Other than "This is so cool"
Probably "je suis un genius!"
>>28446171
You need a rifled barrel for a pistol shotgun. Like the Taurus Judge.
>>28449551
I really do love this gun.
What if we took one of these pic related, and added a .410 on top? I've heard matebas and rhinos are really smooth to shoot, very little muzzle rise.
>>28445546
why?
>>28443735
>literally no downsides
being fucking huge is a pretty big downside
>>28450189
Only for CC. If you open carry size isn't a big deal.
>>28443877
Noguns here, making a gun rifled gives it improved range,right? Why would the lack of rifling, making it a poorer weapon be illegal?
>>28450299
Because without the rifling a shotgun of that size would be consider a Short Barrel Shotgun (SBS) by the ATF. Putting rifling in the barrel allows it to be considered a handgun even if it fires shotshells.
Before you ask, yes the ATF ride a shortbus
>>28450323
My guess is flintlocks and so on have their own classification then?
>>28450339
Those are considered antiques and no ATF laws apply
>>28444381

>>28450105
>on top
wat
>>28450395
Okay that's cool as shit in a Star-Warsy way, saving that
>>28450420
I think anon means, scale it up a little and have a .410 replace the center pin, that way the shotty would be above the pistol barrel
>>28450420
You know what I meant. Like, a modernized lemat using a rhino as a base. Shot barrel would still be aligned with the middle of the cylinder.
>>28450162
it wasn't cowboy enough yet.
Coolest thing about this gun is all the specialty shotgun shells.
Surprise fucker! My gun actually shoots a flashbang! Or a fireball! Or a slug! Or flechettes! Or even rubber balls!
Literally a box of chocolates.
