I stumbled upon this pic on the web and I have been searching the all-knowing ether for any clue to its identity to no avail. You folks here have far bigger firearms memory banks than I so any help would scratch this curiosity itch I can't reach.
What is it?

It's something I would not want to be in front of, or holding it, when it goes off.
Incredible engineering tho...

A revolving revolver. I couldn't help but wonder what that rig would weigh fully loaded. And I'd love to see the holster for it...
OP
I'll bet a broken-in peace pipe that the snubster could make one out of an old loincloth.

Weren't those normally carriage mounted and horse drawn?
That's neat! Think about this for a minute. Do the same rotation for the barrel except in different calibers. Sync it to the corresponding cylinder with the correct caliber and you could have 8 different calibers with one firearm.

Now my head hurts.
Just don't expect an inside the waistband holster.

There are several such designs. One had what is almost like a belt of additional cylinders, sort of like a machine gun. When one cylinder has been shot up, you manually move the next cylinder into position. There is a book called Winant's Firearms Curiosa which pictures all kinds of weird firearm inventions of the 19th century. I have a copy somewhere.

Thanks, Rusty, for jogging my memory! I saw your photo and remembered that I captured the very same one a few years ago and saved it. When I went looking for it to be sure, I found these two additional "revolvers"! It would seem these share some DNA with the one you posted up!
