Welcome to immediately’s Photo of the Day! Here we have now a type of legendary weapons that folk discuss however most likely would on-line shoot as soon as. This is the Phillips & Rodgers Medusa Model 47 Revolver. The Medusa is an odd revolver in that it was made for these people that needed a do-all-end-of-the-world kind of gun however it does its personal job a bit too effectively. About 500-600 of those well-made revolvers had been produced. They are made to be able to appropriately head spacing and firing a ton of various cartridges (touted as having the ability to hearth over 100 differing kinds). This gun will safely hearth something with a bullet of .357 and underneath as long as the cartridge may be held by the extractor. For instance, it will probably shoot 32 ACP however not 25 ACP because the 25 has such a small diameter case. This is usually considered a survivalist/prepper’s dream gun however it may be gradual to load and unload as a result of distinctive extractor system that makes it able to firing all these cartridges. The extractor tooth are spring-loaded and provide the correct amount of pressure blended with spacing to permit the firing pin to strike correctly.
