MT 255 Russian revolver shotgun

There has been only one "Semi Auto Revolver", the Webley Fosbery. That is a revolver and not a semi! Who classed it?

You are forgetting the Mateba Model 6 Unica auto-revolver

Infact I think they make a good pair

The MTS-225 revolver shotgun is available in 12, 20, 28 and 410.

It looks kind of nifty, but the biggest problem I see is that if you want to take it hunting, you would have to somehow block off two chambers so that it only holds 3 rounds.

I wonder if it would be possible to do an action job to get the double action trigger pull down to a reasonable weight.

interesting shotgun
i like the russian firearms designs

How would you be able to hunt with this in most provinces where the limit is 3 shells total?

put two snap-caps in

 

[tula]

thats it ....I WANT one!! thats one of the coolest repeating shotguns I've ever seen.

 

[cnose]

Definitely very cool...looks heavy. "Plugging" the cylinder shouldn't bee too hard considering some shottys just have a wooden dowel...regs don't say what you have to plug the gun with...got some chewing gum???

That gun is the answer to a question that nobody asked.

Actually the question is: How do I get the most looks under 30 minutes?

 

[28 gauge]

Very interesting shotgun.

 

[DANCESWITHEMPTIES]

I think I want one too... Ok, who will import some & how much?

I think COLT made revolving shotguns long before the one dreamed up by the russians.

thats what i said

yet there were morons on that site saying 'They stole the idea from Taurus'. LOOOL

There is a problem though, I think it might be unsafe to have any part of your body (hands, forearms) in front of the cylinder-bore gap cause of the flash.

 

[Mr.Dorito]

Every double action revolver I've ever shot is a semi-auto. is this thing DA? Awesome, like big bulldozer awesome.

That's only a problem if you happen to enjoy those body parts. Sillouete pistol shooters wear a big leather patch on their pants to shoot revolvers in the creedmore position, perhaps a leather shirt sleeve is the solution.

whose down for some Russian roulette

When I first saw this gun a while ago I did a bunch of calculations on the minimum trigger pull weight required to move the cylinder given a cylinder diameter, a number of shells etc. It actually took me about 2 hours to draw up the tables. Anyways long story short, it's a good thing it only holds five shots because your finger is going to be damn tired. Considering how a shotgun trigger is supposed to work, it's pretty silly. No slap for you, just a long hard yank
