Magazine Fed Revolver Exists

Magazine fed revolver will never be real! Ingeniør Landstads «automatiske revolver» fra 1900, fremstilt ved Hovedarsenalet. Kun noen meget få skulle ha blitt laget under prøver, og revolveren må kunne sies å ha vært helt mislykket. Den automatiske revolveren var imidlertid den første norske konstruksjonen som ble utprøvd med tanke på en eventuell framføring halvautomatisk tjenestepistol. Revolveren finnes bevart i England (Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess samling og foto).

A four-panel meme claims that a magazine-fed revolver will never be real, then shows a cartoon revolver, an angry reaction face, and a photograph of the historically real Landstad automatic revolver with a Norwegian caption. The joke is the immediate contradiction: the supposedly impossible weapon existed as an experimental firearm, making the final reaction absurdly defeated. It is used as a reaction when someone confidently says something cannot exist and evidence proves them wrong.
