Largest revolver
One of the most fantastic firearms ever created is a working copy of a Remington 1859 revolver built by Poland's Ryszard Tobys. Listed by Guinness World Records as the world's largest revolver, this 99.2-pound, 4-foot-long gun holds six 1/4-pound bullets. In 2002, it was used in a shooting competition between NATO Reserve Forces from Great Britain, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. The Czechs won

'Cause all them other countries didn't realize that they needed to bring their Tanks or heavy Artillery to a pistol match just to be on an even playing field!

Barrel seems a bit too long for scale. . . . .

I wonder if this was the first shooting, as I bet he rethought his hold when it recoiled.

[Dirty Brass]

I'm curious what the trigger pull weight was on that thing. One finger firing?

Holy jumping...  I wanna see the three men and a boy who have to haul down on that loading lever to get a quarter-pound ball rammed home.

Imagine this:

"A place and time, many thousands of  years in the future, after mankind has vacated the Earth in favor of distant galaxies."

An archaeologist studying homo sapien's past comes across a well preserved gun collector's remains.  This particular collector happened to collect this gun as well as the many large-scale training display weapons used by the Military.

The archaeologists of the future might wonder in surprise at these first found clues of a heretofore unknown race of giants that co-existed with Mankind way back in the 19th, 20th and 21st Century B.S. (Before Spaceflight) !
