UDAR revolver shotgun... aka Crazy Ivan?

[Kernel]

"......Last but far from least is the remarkable 12.3mm UDAR double-action revolver shotgun. The size of a compact medium-bore revolver, with a weight of 0.92kg and dimensions of l73x136x44mm, the UDAR holds five rounds of a cartridge claimed to be based on a 32-gauge shotgun case, although this is slightly puzzling as the 32-gauge has a calibre of 13.36mm. The ammunition available includes a jacketed lead bullet for maximum stopping power, an AP bullet capable of penetrating 6mm of steel plate, various shot loads, a "shock" cartridge with enhanced noise/blinding effect, spray irritant loads, a rubber bullet for anti-riot use and a paint marker for training. I can't help thinking that our police forces might find this a very useful gadget."

Think outside the box comerade, in fact throw the box away and bury it in concrete, boxes are capitalistic contructions which limit thinking.

There was some interest on the Izmash site about this revolver and what calibers it would be offered in. I think we've seen a smaller version in 9x18,9x19 and 7.62 Tok. Thats pretty BIG for a 5 shot 'snubby" also given the caliber. look how high above your hand the bore is.. gotta be some wicked recoil. Still, interesting.

NOW THATS A CARRY GUN!

Especially if you have snake problems. load it up with some 3" magnum copper plated shot loads. I think I need one of these and soon.
