The Cameleon was a concept revolver designed by Czechoslovakian ice rink technician Karel Michalek. Michalek had wanted to make his own handgun, but was limited by government restrictions. In 1989, Michalek decided to construct a concept gun out of wood and epoxy resin.
Is there a rear sight? Otherwise I non ironically love this wheelie
There is. Look at the very top left of the image.
Oh yeah, lookie there. I thought that was part of the cylinder catch.
Is that an SS mark? As in the white nationalist mark?
Haha no, those are 4’s as in .44 magnum.
Look it’s possible this guy was a massive nazi, but I’m going to give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they’re not nazis.
To me it seems far more likely it’s related to .44 magnum with it being a magnum and all than the SS.
People write digits in all sots of different ways:
I mean its a cool design. It looks like something you would get late game in Duke Nukem 3D where it only holds 6 shots, but 6 is all you need.
But the etching of those 44’s sure seems like someone is trying to write SS while having people defend it sayin nah its 44.
Edit: Bruh I don’t see any SS marks on that table of numbers you provided. The marks on that gun are very very identical. More symmetrical than any other lettering on the barrel. Almost like they used a stamp or something for just those to marks in particular.
Definitely doesn’t look like an accident. Maybe it was a good thing they didn’t allow him to have guns.
I can’t help but read that as Ass Magnum
*SS Magnum
Wait, the barrel is from epoxy resin?
Looks very cool
I think it’s just a proof of concept mockup and not meant to be functional.
I don’t think there’s an epoxy wonder-material on earth that would withstand the chamber and barrel pressure of a .44 magnum, and even if it did you’d still have rifling in it for about 0.2 nanoseconds.
Everything about it is somehow weird and normal at the same time
I mistakenly thought this was a post on music 😅 would be a great band name!
“Zamboni Driver” sounds like a rejected name for Steely Dan lol
Drive zambonis, all night long 🎶

You just gave me the idea to make a community for that since we didn’t have one yet.
Haha cool, I’ll figure out how to join it, already some good submissions!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fakebandnames@lemmy.world

Fuck you. Bullpups your revolver
Also lovely SS runes he put on there… 😬
Yikes yeah he got too creative with his 44
I want a bullpup, low bore axis, auto cycling DA/SA revolver with a removable cylinder. Is that too much to ask?
Edit: with light and optic mounting points
Break open like a schofield, and shoots 45lc/410 shotshells too
Cut for moon clips of course
And a corkscrew. And a compass in the grip.
And it needs to ping and auto-eject the cylinder when its empty.
and this thing which tells time
I thought this was an ai generated picture at first
