just (half) kidding. I had a Raven once and it did go bang every time I pulled the trigger,,,,least for 50 rounds anyhow. Never had a problem with it other than the cost of ammo.
Don't get your hopes up, the Phoenix they're referring to was made in the early 1900's in Lowell MA. I happen to have one of those, it's a pretty scarce gun. It's pretty much a direct copy of a Melior pistol AFAIK.
