This Becker revolving shotgun was made in Germany. According to some sources there were only about 100 of this gun made. The gun uses 2 1/2" 16 gauge shells, loads them 5 at a time, and the rotary magazine operates open breach with the barrel being pulled forward to cock. Firing will recock the barrel, rotate the cylinder, and eject the empty with exception of the last round. The last casing must be removed with the sliding ejector rod similar to a Colt SAA ejector. This would make a great conversation piece at the range.

I thought so to. I wonder what the designer thought someone would do with a gun like that?
Best,

I've handled it. Makes a Darne seem normal by comparison. |
