    I would imagine that cocking the hammer drops the magazine box down a level so the firing pin hits a new round each time.

    That what I thought, boy, what a crazy invention
    I was play around with it and started with that downward drop idea.

    That doesn't make sense.
    It should be all the way down when it's loaded and carried.
    It should work it's way up and out for reloading after the last round.

    The basic lock mechanism was that of a normal double-action revolver, where the hammer acted on a firing pin in the frame. The front end of the frame though, consisted of a pair of parallel side-plates, between which fitted a set of four vertically stacked barrels. The four barrels were formed onto a solid vertical breech block and were aligned to chambers in the block that would hold four cartridges. These chambers were first loaded and then the barrel/block assembly was pressed down like a clip between the plates, where it was held in place by a small spring-loaded stud. The top round was fired first. Then pressure on the trigger raised the block of barrels so that the second cartridge was in line with the firing pin, ready for the next shot. After each shot, the trigger would raise the barrel/block so that the next cartridge would line up with the firing pin.

    The three lower barrels had small holes drilled on their upper sides to connect each to the barrel immediately above; so, when the second and subsequent barrels were fired, enough gas passed upwards to blow out the empty case in the barrel above. The comb of the hammer was shaped in such a way as to deflect these ejected cases away from the direction of the firer's face. The final spent cartridge had to be manually removed.

    Thanks, I have never seen one like that. It looks like it would be a good gun.

    Wallie- find yourself a copy of Winant's Firearms Curiosa. More weird and strange guns between 2 covers than you will ever see. They also made a version that the bar went left to right.

    I'll bet that is a tear gas gun though not for real rounds.
