Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Recoil

Over the transom:


A one-of-a-kind triple barreled revolver. Unfortunately not much is known about the Spanish gunsmith who created this firearm. The only information passed on by the previous owner is that the piece is unique.


The gun utilizes a tip-down or break-open system similar to Smith & Wesson models. It's originally crafted  from an adapted 6.35 pistol and sports a 3" barrel with-fixed front sight.


The single trigger fires 3 rounds at one time.

What caliber is it? The outer chambers look bigger than the bottom or inner chambers.

Also, the recoil from this would have to be pretty brutal. It would take forever to reload, so it would be impractical during a firefight.

QUOTE:
The triple barrel, 18-shot Pistola con Caricato revolver
....
This revolver was manufactured in Italy during the early part of the 20th century, complete with three barrels and 18 chambers in 6.35 x 16 mm semi-rimmed caliber (.25 ACP).
...
The revolver has four firing settings and a safety. The selector (above left) allows the shooter to select which firing pin and barrel will be used to fire the gun, and it also has an option to fire all three barrels on each pull of the trigger. There is also a mechanical safety that prevents the hammer from hitting any of the firing pins....

Brutal recoil? From three .25 ACP's? I really doubt it.
