The sights are only supposed to be used for the first and second shot. Every subsequent shot should be aimed with the most recently cleared barrel, thus keeping the sight picture closer to the active barrel. Ok, so I don't actually know this to be the case, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.

As each barrel is cleared, you could sight through the one right above the hammer spur. Very cool gun.

I am twisting my mustache, furling my cape and adjusting my monocle while watching this video...

Don't use superglue on that screw, use Threadlock. If you superglue it, you will have serious difficulties getting that screw out later. Threadlock is designed to hold but be removable.

It's not a revolver, it's more of a linear.

Handguns of the World had one for $869 last month, fully functional and a nice finish on it. Wish I had an expendable income to purchase these neat old guns.

These are cool pistols and filled an interesting niche. The first time I ever saw one was in High School (1970's) while visiting a friends house. They had it hanging on their wall in a frame. I asked them if they would sell it but it turns out it was used by their grandmother for self-protection as a young single woman and she carried it in her garter along her thigh! The more i looked at it, the more I realized this was a perfect pistol for a garter carry. It was very THIN. It was very LIGHT. And it was simple to operate. She would likely pull it out to show she meant business, fire it if they didn't believe her and then run like hell after you emptied the thing - reloads not being an essential part of the story! I wanted one ever since but they have always collectible and $$$. The early models have a scalloped side and a larger safety lever. Hopefully I will find one someday that I can pickup for a good deal also! Thanks for the video - just love that shell case deflecting hammer! is there a pin hole in the adjacent (being fired) lower barrel that allows gas to enter and propel the empty case out? Seems like a pretty strong ejection :- )

love these goofy old pistols

sweet. You need a show on the history channel.

Heck, it's got a built in peep site after the first shot!

Its a Belly gun, not meant for long range shooting. This gun would be 3 to 5 yards so just point and shoot. Interesting design though.

I had no idea such an unusual revolver existed, the way it moves up rather than around like most revolvers is very cool :)

Wow. the way you say "Breveté" almost makes me cry. And I dont even speak french... Its french, not some kidn of slavic swear word.. I like the way you say "Deutsches Reichspatent" though, thats quit good ;)

That is a very interesting firearm. If I was alive 100 years ago, I would consider that a rather good pistol to carry. Looks like you can use the exposed barrels as an aiming device when you get into the 3rd round or so.

Will the ejecting cases get stuck in my curled mustache or land on the brim of my black top hat?

I wonder if anyone uses this for conceal carry? You know. Just for the hell of it.

Im suprized you havent opened a museum !!!

I think a modern version of that gun would be a good carry option its so thin you could also easily carry another barrel , thanks good find ive been missing your videos ill check after this hope i missed a couple , interesting design for sure be careful what ammo you put in that

Seems like you could use the cleared chambers as peep sights

You make some great videos buddy. Keep it up

Thank you for sharing this vid. A very interesting design. I think for the next shot the barrel from last shot becomes a sight. You do not have to use original sight on top for every shot.

put "screw glue" (or just regular superglue or something) to the screw to keep it in place

I have one of these. Thanks for the info!

very interesting gun. Thanks for making an uploading the video! I enjoy watching the stuff on your channel.

Neat little steam punk pocket pistol.

Hey, this looks like the basis for the Nerf Blaster called "Doomlands 2169 Persuader"! neat!

Ah, thats probably was the one I saw. I have a tendency to get prices mixed up. Nevertheless, that's still a reasonable price for such a rare pistol.

There's just something so deliciously steampunk about this thing. All it's missing is some nice brass trim or engravings here and there and it'd be golden.

That thing is cool!

you should see the old ww1 hotchkiss machine guns

I miss your uploads. I came back to this video because I found one of these for sale finally! Can’t wait to see it in person. If anyone is interested in buying a perfect working one comment in the next week and I can give you the online auction

The bottom of each barrel has a spot for a in barrel sight so u can still aim after the spent round kicks out

I think this is a secondary pistol for German spies. Like suprise your enemies when they think you're unarmed.

Did you ever have any luck fixing it? I've got one myself, and can't find any useful info about the mechanism.

Did they come with second barrel sets for rapid reload?

Cant wait for a shooting video for this one.

I really like your videos about neat, rare and interesting guns. Hell, even your beretta 92 is kinda odd (I know, it's only an early model, but still, I'm much more used to the 92fs). Also your pronunciation of "breveté" is pretty much spot on, and I should know, I'm french. Sometimes I wish someone would make a FPS set in the 1920s-30s and hire you as a consultant, because I just want to frag other people with dardicks, dreyses and lancaster smgs. Mayeb call it postmodern warfare or something.

Saw 1 of these at a gun show the other day. Didnt have the grips.

Love to see your fix for that pistol

You should try to find one of those old high capacity revolvers, like the "Pistola con Caricato". It holds 18 6.35×16mmSR and shoots 3 bullets at a time for a total or 6 shots!

I've got one. Terrible shape. No grips. Belonged to my wife's grandfather.

Interesting piece, Excellent review.

What a neat little gun.

Very cool handgun!

What a strange name. Did this gun was made for german teachers that need to get rid of the most rebelious kid in class ? o,o

So subscribed! There are so few video reviews about rare weapons. Thanks for the video!

An assassin's gun.. These guns can trick the enemies , the assassin can load the gun in a team fight during firing , confusing the victims , they will come close and just push it down and fire again.. Needs good skill to hold the bullets in one hand and load it during firing

I want one for reasons..........

well they stopped making them for a reason...or for several reasons really...lol

Pretty cool. I could be wrong, but it seems like it would be a fairly simple task for a good gunsmith to fix the single action mechanism. I doubt that there is too much going on in there. I wouldn't mess with it myself either though probably.

Really cool gun. Thanks for showing it!

I would redesign the Schuler brevete pistol so instead of having a rising block, it has a rising/graduating firing pin instead and preferably double action trigger mechanism.

Did you fire the rocket pistol yet? I know ammo is scarce, but it would be a sight to see! Cool pistol btw, your collection is always a thing of wonderment.

Thanks for actually firing it!

You have the best toys

I think this is my favorite gun so far. Could you do a video on maybe your whole collection?

Instead of using the sights you could use the empty barrels as they come out.

I have one of these. Needs pistol grips and top barrel is a little bent. Hasn’t been fired in many years.

I have one of these although from what you've said it's nowhere near original condition. My father got it from his father who supposedly got it from a pawn shop in Colorado. He had this Reform pistol along with a Sharps 4 barreled pistol with a revolving hammer. It has what appears to be brass plating and has pearl stocks. It looks like a piece a real Jim Dandy kind of guy might carry while gambling. I was told by a dealer at a gun show that the word on the left side of the pistol was the French word meaning pistol.

I think this could be called a "track" gun, rather than a revolver. Did you ever get it fixed?

Nothing revolving here, so I believe the proper terminology for this pistol would be a battery gun. That seems to fit it better than calling that a magazine, since the rounds actually fire from that part of the pistol.

I just find them through googling image terms like; weird revolvers, high capacity revolvers, multi-shot revolvers, unique revolvers and such. When you find a picture of a gun you like, click on it to go to the website and search for it's name. Once you have it's name, its a lot easier to research it.

While Ian at Forgotten Weapons goes into far more historical detail, he should take notes from you on how to pronounce French and German names & terms. Thanks for making the effort. Great collection, & great videos.

who in the fuck would saw of the barrels?And that looks like a fine piece of handywork.

Make a video when you ever get a August Schüler ASS 33.. that has an interesting mechanism

There was one sold on Gunbroker about a year ago as an antique and believe it or not it was fully functional and it didn't go for much more $300 I was not intrested in it because I already own 2, 25auto revolvers there velodog type style but there definitely more practical options for a real deep hidden concealment than this thing they both have the folding trigger mechanism that was very much the main design for these things.. I am really amazed that they are going for that much.. I think I should have bid on it now🤣 😂hearing this... I also had seen the Baur 4shot 25acp little flip over cartridge pistol recently going on Gunbroker aswell not really sure what it had gone for but it was on there recently as well.. and who said that the 25auto and 32auto cartridges wouldn't be good little revolver rounds cause their only semi rimmed?? 😉😉

Wow LifeSize ............ where do you find all these weird firearms?

That is an excellent french accent you got there, sir

Did you ever get this working in single action?

your german is excellent

Is it bad that I would love to see this gun put into battlefield 1 as a joke gun much like the Kolibri as it was never used in war but it's so cool.

Hay why you point the gun at me?

LifeSizePotato guns are the neatest guns.

On english it is pupil reform or something like that

How much?, I live in dalby Queensland

With the shell ejecting from the upper barrel, can you use it as.. i guess a literal bore site? it seems truly horrible aim

I have one in pretty good shape but firing pin is broke. gunsmith said to let it go its a relic but I d like to fire it.any ideas''

I dont think the sights were meant to be used haha

CCW!

but how does it work?

What too you mean you got it for a song

do you have any duckfoot pistols?

Molto bella

umm...threadlock?

It causes the mugger to reform

you should make some frozen meat silly putty ferrocerium 25 acp rounds and send them to him

Just read about it in a hunting encyclopedia from after WW2 in the part covering different types of mechanisms. There's no info to share, it was just a description. Weak and inaccurate besides.

in 1913 they cost 35,- reichsmark.... a .32 revolver cost 5,- and a parabellum 80,-

bastard gun from metro 2033

Cute!

That's a troll gun

they took a reichs revolver made it tiny, then said hey you know that rotatey thing yeah fuck that, flat and 4 barrels

hey i wanna see how this shit work someone know where i can see mechanical sketch

Huh, not actually that bad of a design.

Nice gun🐵

"Here's a Frenchman who disagrees (remove spaces): forvo. com /word /brevet%C3%A9/ And another just for fun: watch?v=0kwTPYrPI_k I speak French well and lived in Germany for some time and am nearly fluent, so I am comfortable with my pronunciations on both. :-)" Tried to find my post but somehow its gone. In response to your PM: You are probably correct, sorry about that. Where in Germany did you live if I may ask? :) Greetings, Dutchhero

t us.

Deutsche pistolen, o ja

Not

as for german made... i ll take a mercedes better than this one :D
