REMARKABLE INVENTION.
Pull the Trigger and 1t Fires Eight Shots
In Succession.


What is claimed to be Il most remark
able weapon and one which is as great
an over the ordinary re-
yolver for military purposes as was
the revolver over the old time horse
pistol. has been brought out by a Ber-
lin firm. The construction OF this
latest development in firearms manu-
facture is upon entirely new lines. so
far as regards small arms. The cart
ridges. which are eight in number, are
contained within a magazine in the
grip. The action of the piece is so
rapid that the eye cannot follow the
and the whole eight shots
can be fred before the first shell
elected has struck the ground.
The cartridges are brought to the
front of the breach lock. when the lat
ter is moved to the rear in opening the
breach, and closing the breech places
the cartridge in its proper position in
the firing chamber. The recoll at firing
drives the barrel and breach mechan-
ism to the rear. the three friction rolls
of the rear link strike against the
curved butt and are forced downward,
the middle joint OF toggle is raised and
the breech block recedes. taking with
it an empty shell by means of the eX-
tractor, until the e~jector strikes the
she'll from below and throws it out, and
the surplus momentum of the recoiling
ports is taken up by the recoil spring,
against which the friction rolls inn
pinge.
AS soon as the recoil, which is so
easy as to be scarcely noticeable TO
the hand, is spent, the spring draws
the toggle link forward and downward,
the breech block pushes the upper cart
ridge into the barrel and the firing bolt
is arrested and held cooked by the sera.
The safety piece prevents accidents
when the arm is not in action. other
wise the pistol IS always cooked and
ready for service.
The pistol weighs two ami three quar-
ter pounds, with a 6 inch barrel, and
two and four ffths with a 7la inch bar
rel. The projectile weighs SIS grains and
s projected by the cartridge at about
200 feet per second.-Cincinnati En-
