Mateba Revolver Loading & Mechanics (MTR-8) | No Talking

Mateba, a contraction of the Italian words Macchine Termo-Balistiche (Thermo-Ballistic Machines), was an Italian machine manufacturer based in Pavia, Italy. It is better known for its low-barrelled revolver pistols that it produced under the leadership of Emilio Ghisoni. After a change in ownership and poor sales, the Mateba company closed in 2005, but reopened in 2014 in Montebelluna. See the Mateba MTR-8's fascinating manual mechanics and reloading mechanism.

I heard a story of someone seeing one of these out in the wild, it was some lady's rifle of choice for hunting deer, she wasn't interested in selling it and kept on using it.

hunting deer with .38spl?

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

@@norinco8724 You can get some decent additional velocity from .38 Special with a long carbine barrel. Also there's more than just a single kind of deer in the world.

[@bradleystewart3680]

1:07 in a combat situation you better have cargo pockets to have like 6 of 'em ready to go because I can't imagine the time to load a round during a firefight.

Can you hold that with 2 hands without burning your hand? What kind of rounds were used in that?
