I read the Wiki blub and still don't understand what its supposed to be.
If you watched 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' you kinda get an idea. Think, Neo-Victorian technology.
The first step of becoming a good shooter is knowing which end the bullet comes out of and being on the other end.

How about the wheelchair gun from WILD WILD WEST;

My son builds and rebuilds guitars, and has done a couple in a steam-punk style which were quickly snapped up on E-bay.  He inlays or attaches various small pressure gauges, adds copper tubing coming up out of the body and then re-entering it after a couple of inches, adds small enclosed gear boxes with glass covers to expose the gears and then paints the body to look like boilerplate or copper sheeting, complete with rivets, either actual or painted on.  A little painted rust appearance in spots, or tarnishing, and bingo - a steam punk guitar.  Plays the same (or better once he's done setting it up, and adding appropriate electronics) but looks much more... hmmm...interesting?

Okay, all I have been able to find out is, that this is most likely legitimate. It was possibly built by a gent named Joseph Enouy and it's called a Ferris Wheel Gun. It appears to be based on a James Harper Transitional Revolver. Supposedly he built several, but, other than curiosities, I can't see any possible use for them.
