Massive Homemade 12 Gauge Revolver
A Brazilian drug dealer was captured earlier this month along with his gigantic homemade 11 lbs revolver. The revolver chambers five 2.75" 12 gauge cartridges. This dealer went with a traditional revolver look, rather than the tacti-cool styling of the infamous Taiwanese 12 gauge revolver.
It is sad that the drug dealer, or whoever made his gun, needed to resort to crime rather than putting their considerable talents to good use in the legitimate gun industry, especially in Brazil, home of the 28 gauge Taurus Tracker.

Anybody ask me please, if there is a 12 Gauge gattling-type machine gun? It’ll be interesting)
besides the horrific one the Sons of guns jackasses threw together, i doubt it.
Handguard, foregrip and a collapsing stock and I’m a taker.
On the third pic the hammer looks like it could work. It looks like it could be a little off, and if it is, it probably wouldn’t be too hard to rig up. Why don’t foriegn law officers take better pics of these things, they must not be thinking of the gun loving public.
More like a Monty Python!!
Zincorium – (Looks like a giant Colt Python to me)
And people thought the Keltec KSG has a lot of recoil. Looks like something from Firefly.
On an unrelated noted, the new comment system is nice, but it appears everyone is double posting!
Awesome!
The hammer and the barrel are aligned. The huge sighting rail on top tricks your eyes.
Waiting for the youtube of it being shot…
“Are you happy to see me, or is that a shotgun in your pocket?”
Boris the Blade would love this one
Foetus, LOL
“Heavy is good; heavy is a sign of reliability”
How heavy is it? Looks like it needs and butstock to balance it.
i expect to see this in call of duty 5
“I call shenanigans – how does that hammer get anywhere near the upper chamber to fire a round? Or is there some idiotically complicated mechanism to hit a firing pin up there somehow?”
*** Perhaps there is a transfer bar mechanism installed or possibly a hammer-spur like that on the Lemat revolver used by some Confederates during the Civil War.***

Good points, Icchan!
The hammer seems to line up with the center of the barrel which is where it where it would need to be.
No, no, I stand corrected. Another look at it, and yeah, I can see where the hammer would just line up on the center of the firing chamber. It’s deceptive with the monstrous rib on top and the sheer scale of the thing. If that’s all stainless steel, I have to wonder what the recoil is like – not that much overall…a good short-barreled 12gauge is much lighter than a regular sized gun, and that pig has the same barrel – but quite likely can balance scales with a SPAS-12.
Looks the hammer is nearly the center of the barrel, so I believe it will hit, but I don`t believe it will be in one piece for a second shot.
transfer bars aren’t especially complicated.
Looks like a giant Colt Python to me.
I imagine the recoil to be pretty brutal, but it’d still be nice to have the option of buying something like this.
I just want to see a video of this hand canon being fired.
I’m surprised you didn’t link this to the earlier tale of a Taiwanese 12 gauge revolver

I want to know how to holster this huge gun….
I think it was mounted in the back of a truck…..

Brazil? Giant Revolver? Nah, it’s not a drug dealer’s gun it’s the new Taurus Judge Dredd model – chambers both 12ga and 50bmg. This is just an early peek.
I’m really surprised they don’t already have a 40mm grenade launcher revolver.
PERFECT CCW gun.
Are you kidding me? Look at the size of that grip!
Seeing this makes me wonder why more manufacturers don’t design a revolver so that the barrel is not so high above the grip.
Why not design the grip to be more in line with the barrel… wouldn’t that change the nature of the recoil so that the gun pushed pack into your arm as opposed to tipping up and back?
Or has that been tried and seen to fail?
Just curious.
You want the Chiappa Rhino.
Hellboy wants his revolver back.
‘Scuse me, Steve! Don’t you mean the 28-ga Taurus Raging Judge? You got misled looking at the captions. The .22 is the Tracker…
paul, you are correct, lol, don’t know how I confused the smallest with the biggest … although I did photograph them side by side so maybe my memory has been screwing with me.
What about 12 gauge machine gun ? ? ?
It’s a Big F***ing Gun!!1
Really, such a funny device…
It needs a special bag… or very big pockets…
@PLUS
Surely any self respecting cartel member would just tuck it down the front of their pants! Going to need a strong belt though, and literal cajones of steel for the inevitable ND.
actually an alarming number of cartel members are ex military. not your typical sideways shooting hood rats.
Greeting from Texas,
Not that I would ever want one, but I would love to read an evulation of this weapon if they find anyone to fire it.
“Suck my c**k dude! Hue! Hue! Hue!”
Screams 12 Gauge to his friend, Taurus Judge and their American neighbor S&W 5000.
…at least my S&W 500 doesn’t blow up on me when I fire it!
I want to know how to holster this huge gun….
Screw the holster, I wanna see what kind of belt would hold that up.
