Talk:Mateba Autorevolver

message: Muzzle velocity of 1800 ft/min (9 m/s)? Surely it should be 1800 ft/s. Please check. Bobblewik 21:45, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

message: "This revolver type, when fired, automatically recocks the hammer and rotates the cylinder for the wielder." I'm sure I'm not alone in finding this description of the shooter somewhat bizarre. If nobody objects I will change it to "the shooter". Wulfilia 08:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Mateba 6 Unica.jpg

message: ok this article needs some citations on the actual creator of this.
there has been an argument on the actual creator and this page was recently edited to one specific point of view, so don't beleave everything this says to the word.
I'm not advocating any side but I just want there to be an accurate, correct article.
so if any one can confirm the creator and the name meaning for this gun with citations, we would all be very greatful.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.5.232.86 (talk) 21:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Creator 

message: I get that the recoil cocks the hammer and thus rotates the cylinder, allowing a single action trigger pull.  What I'm not getting is the mechanism.  Does the gun recoil, in a way analogous to the slide of an autoloader, which visibly moves when fired?  It looks from the front like the entire cylinder, barrel and hammer mechanism recoil on the grip and trigger and frame, but the contours of the grip seem to make this impossible.  Or is a purely internal mechanism?  Can someone who has used one clear this up?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by YourMessageHere (talk • contribs) 16:32, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recoil - needs detail 

message: What about the other caliber versions of the gun? Can the .44 Magnum version fire .44 S&W ammunition properly? Darkeye11547 (talk) 21:38, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you mean .44 S&W American, .44 S&W Russian, or .44 S&W Special? If .44 Spl or .44 Russian, yes; otherwise, no.  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura  19:30, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Multiple cartridge capabilities

message: Since someone evidently thinks the page is meant to be a catalog of every casual mention, let me explain. The "pop culture" sections are meant for significant cultural impacts, comparable to those of the M29 in "Dirty Harry". Saying "this isn't that gun" is precisely the point (or willful ignorance, I can't tell which): the Mateba has not been mentioned anywhere with that kind of cultural importance. Casual mention in a poetry journal, "professionally edited" or otherwise, does not qualify as significant. If this was the AutoMag & it was used by a character in a series of books, yes;  a major motion picture, possibly; even in a single novel, maybe. A couple of lousy poems in a journal read by at most a few hundred people? Don't be absurd. This should be deleted promptly & permanently.

thread_title:  Blank verse 

message: I'm not really sure how fix this issue, so let me raise it. The mention of two recoil springs & the ".38 wadcutter" reference seems to elevate the wadcutter slug (not a unique round in any fashion) to its own distinct caliber. For those not familiar with firearms, this is, obviously, problematic. I recognize the linked page clarifies; I'd rather it be clear here on casual reading, too. Does anyone have any thoughts on fixing it?  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 17:17, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
