Kind of wondering how they'd balance it. Couldn't do a OHK (barring the head), because that in a pistol slot would be...a bit much. Maybe just like really high damage (130ish) with kind of crap accuracy but a fast fire rate. That way it's a close combat gun that should beat out the other pistols without perks, but with high risk if you miss. Could be fun.

[@chrisball3778]

I've always thought these were really cool, regardless of whether they were practical. The 4-shot version might have seemed like a better trade-off vs many revolvers because some revolvers only had 5-shot cylinders or were supposed to be carried with an empty cylinder for safety, so the capacity difference may not have been so great. Even if a revolver did offer 2 more shots, then the ease of reloading the Lancaster compared to revolvers with a loading gate might easily compensate for that.

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

Many years ago I knew a man named Harry Leah, who at the time was one of the country's foremost firearms experts. He told me about someone he knew acquiring one of these complete with ammunition and taking it to the pistol range. The backstop was made from the same kind of rubber used to make self-sealing aircraft fuel tanks, the idea being that a bullet would pass through it but not have enough energy to make a return journey. On firing the gun, the shooter heard a strange "echo" after each shot. Baffled, he put down the pistol, took off his ear defenders, and turned around. At this point he noticed two large lumps of lead on the floor behind him. It took a few moments for him to realise that the bullets had not had the velocity to penetrate the backstop but instead had bounced back, and the "echo" was the sound of them hitting the wall behind him !

[@jonathanferguson1211]

Clever, although if you had an under-loaded round that big ol' bullet is coming back to you...

To paraphrase an old comedy Western movie dialog: "Colonel Burnaby carried this Lancaster into the Battle of Abu Klea against the Arabs." "Those are four _massive_ barrels! I'll bet it must've saved his life!" "Eh, it might've. If it had been _only_ four Arabs..."

Back in the Mid sixties family side business was reloading ammunition. We did one complicated contract loading 16 bore short shells for a side by side pistol for a gentleman going to India in harms way for a series of control shoots to take care of animals which had a taste for humans. We had a mold built to hard cast nasty slugs with a sharp cutting edge to clean punch through the skin and tissue. Hard part was regulating the load so both barrels hit dead on at 25 yards while still being good for shooting a climber at six inches. Client was very happy with the load and had a good trip with no serious incidents.
