And now for something completely different

Looks like it could be suppressed.

I generally like outside the box thinking .. I just dont know they hit a winner on that one. it looks like you would have to load one or two cartridges at a time and then rotate the cylinder kind of like a single action. Best can be said for it is .. IMHO .. its not as ugly as the Rhino.

Think the lever in front of the cylinder is some sort of safety or the break down?

It's an interesting idea...someone took the bullpup idea and applied it to a revolver. I don't see any mechanism for removing the fired cases...but the photos on the website suck. It doesn't solve the biggest drawback of carrying a revolver IWB...width of the cylinder. Doesn't solve the drawback of capacity...still only 5 rounds. It looks difficult to reload...doesn't seem like you can use moon clips or a speed loader.

I predict a 110% chance this product fails to gain any traction in the firearms market, other than buyers who like wasting money on novel guns that don't really perform any better than a standard revolver.

If that apparatus at the rear of the cylinder didn't block it from being rapidly loaded like with full moon clips or speed loaders, I think it could be cool. But as it is, it's just a mechanical curiosity.

Can find very little information on it, and no Youtube videos. Cool gun, unique like the Rhino.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

I can't figure out how they get the firing pin to strike the primer. Doesn't look like a lot of room. Or is the gizmo at the back of the cylinder actually a hammer?

Smithers in-for-the-win. I am wondering if this is some sort of concept 'art'.
The artist is given the basic idea, but doesn't know how mechanisms truly work.
I see no linkage to rotate that cylinder. I don't see any way in Hades that
wee little piece behind the wheel could contain a firing mechanism. With your
hand in a firing grip, you might barely be able to engage the bottom of the hook
trigger. I see no way to get a purchase nesteld into the body of the blade.

wtf

I would hate for a shell to explode in the wheel considering all your hand meat is surrounding it.

Aaaaaand, a no-show at Shot Show.

Well, the company is there with a booth,...but only have a 3D printed plastic mock-up,...not even the supposed prototype in the photos!

If you can't sell the steak, sell the sizzle? Looks like a nothingburger to me.

Suck beat me to it. I was about to post the same. I bet they're just trying to solicit investment enough to allow them to leave the US to a country with no extradition treaty.........

I don't think it will take long for this to disappear into the pages of history.

... a no-show at Shot Show.... only have a 3D printed plastic mock-up,..

The rep said they're working on trying to bring them in from Armenia. So, I searched
'zenk armenia' and 'zenk arms armenia' without anything of substance returning. :shifty:

Interesting... my first thought was: "I wonder how tight things are between the cylinder and the barrel - I know that on my cheapy 22 revolver you get some amount of 'spray' out of that seam - I wonder how much of that is going to get to the back side of the hand..."
