After firing both shots, you can throw it and it'll come back to you.

It’ll kill ya, so you even have to give some respect to the awkward ones I think she made it look more elegant that it would have seen in average usage. I wonder how different it’s recoil would have been at the end of the cursive arc of hardware?
Almost looks like what a the next stage of a flintlock/early caplock pistol would have evolved into if revolvers were not invented.
I’m typically allergic to anything chambered for old BP handgun cartridges, but y’all managed to tempt me with this beautiful abomination

That bore axis is wild
I'm always fascinated how Othais and Mae cook up all these exotic obsolete cartridges to test fire.
I like think of this as a derringer (two shots, a sidearm) attempting to be a martial pistol.
Better than nothing, but compared to revolvers of the time, it's cleary an outcast.

That's the 'why?' I'm trying to understand; like maybe I'd get it if it was chambered in something more powerful that you'd want to trust in a period revolver design...and if it's just meant to be a target pistol, why the 2nd barrel?

@@AtholAnderson The worst part is that it's not just a targett pistol, it was adopted by the belgian police if I'm not mistaking (and that's why it is so rare and costly). And oddly enought at Liège (belgian Gunsmith town) they made a lot of civilian copies of this pistol. What a strange Era !

Each presentation of 19th century Euro pistols gives me a greater appreciation of the 1873 Colt Single Action Army revolver. Seriously. Even when the Euro pistols have features or quality that surpass the Colt, their size and ergonomics seem built for space aliens or lizard people. Maybe they were anticipating selling them to inbred aristocrats?

When I saw those twin exhaust tubes, I said "Say what? You have to be kidding!" In 1877, to adopt a double barrel rolling block sounds ridiculous. This thing makes the Reichsrevolver look like the apex of high technology, and compared to military service revolver in use like an Colt 1873 it's a joke. But you got to hand it to Mae for being able to model those well!
That's *got* to be flippy with that absurdly high bore axis!
Fresh Mae! Just minutes old, still warm from the oven. 🙂 Kinda silly-looking, but in a fun way. Obviously from a time when form factors hadn't yet been sorted. I'd love to own one. 😁
I used to build block guns so Id feel right at home with that. I actually kind of want that gun it looks kinda cool
Great video thanks
a great very interesting minute.
💯👍thank you!
I still really want one, because that is just a crazy kind of cool.
I love how it just looks like crooked and strange in the hand
double barrel guns or db shotguns always have a special place in to my heart and thank you so much to showing me this cute being is exist
Looks fun honestly
it's like staring into the sun, it hurts your eyes but is also weirdly beautiful

Now We will waiting this gun in Hunt Showdown
This is the pistol ever
It looks like a baby shotgun that stopped growing and never matured into a double barrelled 12 bore. (Gauge)
This looks like a gun you'd draw as a kid, where the handle is very very long.
weird silly little rolling block pistol my beloved
any plans for a primer on the Beaumont Adams?
In some cases, a lifetime warrenty is a threat.
Wish i never Sold Mine!!
That is one weird pistol.
Ever thought i would see a break double barrel pistol.
Beautiful and looks like it would be fun to do some expensive plinking with
Based from the shape of the gun, I bet it also function as a boomerang when you get tired with reloading the goddamn thing....
Bore axis is through the roof
Finally, now my handgun can double as a boomerang
As always, great job mae 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Finally, a gun that's perfect for the "Rick Grimes" stance.
With that action and only 2 shots, you’d think they might have stepped up the cartridge a bit
I wonder if they'll ever look at a cut down Remington rolling block. Ive seen some made into pistols

Remington made those originally. I had an Uberti replica in .38/.357. It was very accurate but no use for timed and rapid fire courses.
Never been able to get used to the look of those things. The components look nicely made, but that overall design makes my brain itch. 😅
Another thing needed in Hunt
It's such a weird not so little pistol. The concepts in and of itself could be useful but just not in this configuration. It reminds me of the Villar-Perosa, the parts could be great, just how they fit together is still a mystery.
That would be cool and suitable gun for Hunt Showdown
Long handle and big trigger guard. Bulky gloved hands last ditch pistol ?
Single barrel accepted but the 1901 Remington target version is both a more ergonomic design & a better [chamberring of] cartridge[s].
New EDC just dropped
Heh, now I want this in H3VR.
Side by side double barrel pistol? I'll have five 😂😂😂
cute looking thing
I would like to see the original Remington Rolling Block pistol covered.
If you miss those two shots, you can at least use that thing as a boomerang
I love it
Looks like something from Dr Seuss
Why was it constructed so high? There has to be more recoil. But maybe they all had strong farmer arms back then

Really interesting, and quirky, pistol. A pity you can't select the barrels; that way one barrel could be loaded with a silver bullet for werewolves, and the other a bullet of cold iron wrapped around a fragment of the true cross for vampires. I mean, it really does look like Steampunk Monster Hunter's handgun. Okay, joking aside, why? If it was chambered for some big-game rifle calibre you could imagine it as a sort of European howdah pistol, but chambered in a fairly standard handgun cartridge? What is the point? Especially given that revolvers were now well established. Anyway, thank you to Mae for sharing.
Some of us need Mae for longer than one minute... full hour of Mae when? 😍
There's no way they just didn't manage a lower bore axis. They intentionally made it look like a boomerang.
The fact that this monstrosity came out 4 years after the 1873 SAA just shows the superiority of American firearms

I’d suggest looking into the Lefaucheux, Webley RIC, 1870 Gasser, and Chamelot-Delvigne. US revolver development was generally behind Europe from about the mid-1850s until about 1890
