An amazing antique weapon

[third eye]

Sharing details of an amazing weapon of the days gone by . I hadnt seen anything like this

Its eight cylinder 48 shot revolver. Each cylinder held 6 shots. There are eight cylinders attached to the compound magazine wheel.

Vintage : 1855( not sure though)

Nice find, look like a custom but a nightmare to balance and aim not to mention must have had very poor accuracy due to weight and recoil.

I go there every other year, they know I am Pakistani but they do respect me, because of my family and its rich history. If I say more it would be gloating, lets leave at that. I never have had problems there and I travel to Punjab only never beyond.

Isn't the mass of the gun and recoil inversely proportional? All things being equal, a heavier gun will have softer recoil.
On the other hand, balance and accuracy would indeed be a nightmare.
