Screw anyone who disses this gun, this is a thing of beauty and awesomeness I need in my life.

Once you've seen the 6 o'clock barrel, you wonder why more manufacturers didn't think of it.

7:25 yep it's Italian, dry firing it sound like snapping a handful of uncooked spagetti in half.

It's the answer to the question "what's the coolest gun you could possibly make?"

That moment when a Colt Python is considered a common gun by its owner.

ARGHHHH! I had one in .44 magnum, about 10 years ago. I can't believe they are thousands of dollars now! I sold mine for around $400. The Unica was also used in Firefly.

Both this & the Rhino look like they should have a built-in laser above the barrel, very close to the barrel so there is little parallax in the aim.

Mateba was a pasta kneading machines producer before starting making guns...just in Italy....

Please feel free to send me this gun when you get bored with it.

The beaver tail is to compliment the 6 o'clock bore in reducing muzzle flip. The whole gun is genius...

if you break your grips they can be repaired to look original but be rock solid. As a professional Carpenter and long time woodworker I would be glad to give you advise if 5his ever happens to you!

if you ever break a part, contact me and i will gladly custom machine any parts you need. Any gunsmith with any talent could hand make you parts. I'm just a machinist, albeit a very gifted one.

You and Ian, men after my own heart. Thanks for showing us stuff that I'd likely never see otherwise.

dude you are on a different realm of gun collecting, and it kicks ass

I'm so happy that his channel exists, these firearms are so special and unique that it really is a shame that more people can't shoot/review them. Absolutely love your videos and the history that goes along with these amazing guns !

The Japanese anime Ghost in the shell has one of its main characters a detective carrying one.

Thanks for the videos! It's such a bummer that there doesn't seem to be enough of a market to keep cool stuff like this going.

battlefield 4 really went all out with weird ass dlc pistols

I dunno if you noticed but it looks like someone replaced your Glock 17 with a dummy Glock.

I think you sold me on this! Such a beautiful gun and design! Thanks for showing it off. I had only seen one of these a couple times in my life and now I need one...

i'll trade you a kidney

This is now my favourite gun, and I never even liked guns that much! I'm so happy to have learned about this.

Togusa is one of my favorite characters of the Ghost in the Shell franchise, largely because of this revolver.

The Rhinos are hideous, but there is some mechanical splendor about the Mateba that has some inquisitive appeal. Cool video!

Ghost in the shell!

...but does it take Glock mags?

I'm here from Zach's gun rants, this revolver has been living in my head rent free for months.

i never thought i would find that one of my most favorite revolver design would be real. thank you for this information

Im from England and have only ever had a passing interest in guns, mainly due to our very strict laws. That said I find your videos very interesting. Keep up the good work mate.

those three guns are the coolest revolvers if ever seen

Looks gorgeous! Thanks for taking another look at this mechanically fascinating gun.

These remind me of the "Blade runner" pistol from the first film.

The cheapest way to get "stares at the range" is to wear your Hillary Clinton tee shirt.

"One of the disadvantages of a revolver over a pistol is that a revolver is double action only which effects accuracy and speed" "A revolver that automatically cocks the hammer after firing? Talk about a solution to a non-existent problem!"

Like many novel firearms, I had the chance to snag a .357 model a number of years ago for $700. I didn't but really regret it! I wouldn't sell it today even if I did have one as the engineering of these are what always attracted me. They are iconic in my mind and plain cool. Thanks for sharing these, and I'll have to dig around what else is in your collection.

is your Glock sick?

"A question no one asked". Like antibiotics, electricity, gunpowder, gasoline, video games......literally hundreds of world altering concepts brought to us by creative minds who didn't wait for a market demand to invent?

i really hope this comes back into production. it's my dream pistol but i doubt i'll be able to find or afford one in my life if it stays a collector's type, especially the .454 casull version.

I've been looking for this revolver review for *MONTHS!* And youtube finally figured it out.

Ever since I saw Forgotten Weapons do a review on a one off, handmade auto revolver, I've had an obsession with recoil operated revolvers. I'll have to keep an eye out for one of these in .357.

Beautiful gun! Love the design and concept! Thx for sharing

Very well done. I like the reviews by the actual collectors of unique weapons. Collecting them (as a small tie enthusiast myself I know) costs a lots of compromises where you spend on you hobby rather than many other things out there. Keep up the good work and I hope you can find the 454 Casul as well.

I loved this gun in Battlefield 4 before and after the revolver buff. So great to see a video about the real life gun.

Thanks for showing us your 10,000 thousand dollar collection

Talk about a gun that answered a question no one was asking... I was wondering what happened to you. Your videos are unique and have a certain unmatched quality. Not to mention your selection of firearms lol! You talk nonchalantly about guns that most people save for years just to buy one of. I appreciate the effort for the highest quality video (literally). But I can barely handle 1080p with my internet and set-up LOL. I always run everything on 720 because I dont see a huge difference and 480 if anyone else is using the internet. Again I appreciate the effort.

I remember seeing this years ago on Ghost in the Shell, beautiful looking especially the .44.

Wow, this is the Concorde of revolvers, what a piece of art. I bet shes a sweet shooter. Im truly impressed. Thanks

I honestly wasn’t convinced at how badass this gun is until I saw that semi automatic function

I'm glad to see you're redoing some of your reviews in 4K. I have to admit though I always got a good chuckle that you had such an impressive collection with a $25 camera. With so many excellent firearms what's your daily carry? I'm sure it's nothing obscure or too weird, I'm just curious. Also I've heard you mention in a few videos "rabbit hairs" do you raise rabbits or something?

The under barrel is a cool concept. Just keep your thumb from your support hand away from the flash gap...

You have absolutely the best / coolest pistol collection on all of KZfaq.

Speaking of the Chiappa Rhino, their 200DS is a terrific little 2-inch .357 Magnum. The 6 o'clock barrel significantly reduces both recoil and muzzle flip which insures subsequent shots to be on target faster than ever before, even with the use of ultra light alloys used in the construction of the Rhino. The flat sided cylinder design of the Rhino reduces the typical revolver profile allowing greater concealment. Featuring both double and single action characteristics, the single action is actuated by a hammer cocking device that engages the unexposed hammer to prepare to fire. This hammer-cocker is stiff and a bit awkward, so the DAO model is fine, too. I switched the small soft rubber grips for medium laser-etched walnut grips and they feel and fit much better. The wood grips go better with the brown form-fitting leather holster. I really like the machined aluminum speed-loaders, but they cost extra, too. Like Italian sports cars, the Rhino can cost you on accessories! I am worried about reports of the delicate hammer assembly that looks more clockwork than gun, so I rarely fire my Rhino. Practice with my solid Ruger revolvers, instead.

revolver ocelot should've rocked this instead!

This and the Rhino were also featured in Battlefield 4

I've had a gun crush on the Mateba MTR-8 for a while now. Just love that look!

Thanks Zach for leading me down this rabbit hole

I'm so proud of myself because I just unlocked this gun in BF4

To me, it allows a faster fire rate while being rather accurate. Double actions have heavy triggerpull and long travel, which can throw off your aim.

Man I’m glad you said they were snap caps. I’ll was losing my mind when you demonstrated the recocking mechanism with what looked like a live round in the camber...

Great thumbs up for using 4K! I really like the details! Fricken amazing!

if the grips breaking during shooting is and issue, get the rubber ones for shooting, and all the complex stuff is going to hold up as long you maintain the gun. If it brakes it is expensive paper weight, but if you dont shoot it and do not enjoy it, it is just the same as it would be not functioning. Well except the resale value, but somehow i think you are not planning to sell it :)

Taking gun collection to a unprecedented level 😀

I met Emilio in Pavia and I shoot in his converted shooting range behind the pasta and ice cream machines, I shot my beretta 9m and I shot also his prototypes, it was 1993. I have good memories and in my opinion, he was a gun genius! his guns way outmatched my berettas 9m, thye were a long shot better and really smooth.

No BS on this channel, how refreshing.

My favorite gun in Watchdogs! One of the best 360 games ever made! 😃

I watched the original video a few days ago and subbed. Now lets watch the redo shall we. Btw. I first saw this pistol in "Ghost in the shell" in the late 90s.

Damn the video is 7 year old and I just got recommended. Nice weapon I never new this existed

Just fininished watching your video and thoroughly enjoy it.Your knowedge of these beautifully made weapons is completely accurate and I learned a lot.I use to be in the gun business here in the US years ago and shot in all forms of competition.When I saw that beautiful 22 target pistol at the end of this video I just grinned and grinned.Of all the exotic 22 competition guns that I shot it was by FAR my favorite.I subscribed and I am looking forward to more of your videos.Thank You

No, see, the question was "Do you know what would be totally badass?" This is the answer.

We have one in 44 rem mag at the shop. Its a beautiful gun.

Really great video. Fascinating gun. My first exposure to it was it being used in Ghost in the shell. For a long time I wasn't even sure it was real or made up for the show!

This guy is most knowledgeable and easy to listen to.

you got to get 25 kills with it to unlock the desert eagle

Must be the precursor to the Chiappa Rhino.

I could see a hybrid between this and the dardick feed system being very effective

So could you simply rack the gun back like a standard 9 mm pistol after a reload or coming out of a holster? It's curious thought really, not really expecting it to seem like an effective way to operate the gun.

"Its my ass on the line out there. Use the Zastava!"

Bunch of weaboos in the comments... It's a shame these guns aren't more common, I would love it if they made a Rhino in .44 mag. without the trigger issues.

I think the design is unique because of how close it is to the Cyberpunk theme.

Love this.Makes my MK VII .44 mag desert eagle look normal.

Almost looks like something for 'retiring' replicants :P

This guy put his hand IN FRONT of the barrel just to show us how it works.... what a madlad

I always wondered why you could shoot so fast with this gun in bf4. Now I know lol.

What a magnificent revolver.

this gun is that of "give them hell mallone" movie

What a wonderful gun, I never had the chance to look at it before. Thank you very much.

IDK why, but there's something about a bottom barrel revolver that is so incredibly a turn on, to me. Even the MTR-8 is a Hell of a lot sexier than most other modern revolvers

I use this as my secondary in warface

It might be cool, but can It run crysis?

Hmmm feels like you could make one of these into vash from trigun‘s revolver and now thinking of it I really want to make this into a replica of one (yes I know his revolver is based on the colt peacemaker

Awesome video!! Amazing collection 👍👍

video in 4k huh? /watch in 360p/

That's big plastic chunk shaped like a pistol there. Strange. I am wondering, just a sidethough, my net can run that 4K just fine, but I do not have a 4K monitor. Is there a way to zoom in, to get a closer look at the details?

Hey Potato. Not sure if you were aware, but Mateba is currently doing a third production run on the Model 6 Unica! If you need replacement parts, or want to buy a new one (for FAR cheaper than you paid to buy one off a previous owner) direct from the manufacturer and stock up on replacement parts, now's the time to do it.

Seems like a very nicely crafted piece.

Ah a hand cannon from destiny 😂

If I ever need to make a Sci-fi video, imma ask to barrow these. ;)

Man, that is an amazing revolver! This wasn't made to care about its practicality, but to be admired for its beautifully working mechanisms. Is this a gun meant for competitions?

Man you have one heck of a collection, thanks for sharing.

Sick gun!
