Zucala automatic revolver, made in Spain right after World War I.

And darn it, take a few days off for the holiday and I miss the Moore Teat Fire cartridge.
That's an early "flat teat" version. Those proved to be hard to load into the cylinder quickly, so later versions had a round teat.
While it's called a Moore teat fire, the cartridge was actually designed/patented by a man named Williamson. Moore designed/manufactured the revolver.
The .32 is by far the most common, but there was also a .45 teat fire made in limited numbers.
I have several .32 teat fires in my cartridge collection, and have been trying to add an example .45 for years, but they are spendy as all hell, as you can see from this auction example. http://engelscollectibles.com/Listing/Details/166091/45-Teat-Fire
Some years ago I was at a cartridge show where a guy had a box of 25 .45 teat fire cartridges for sale. I can't remember the particulars, but the price was closing in on 5 figures.
Here's a bit more historical information on the teat fire cartridges and revolvers, after the article about 5 in 1 blanks.

Sorry Mike but Relod'n is correct.
It appears to be closer to the Lefever. Sorry for the error
Mike Irwin Good catch, I tried to find a video showing one being fired but no luck.
And thanks for the added info on the teat fire. I found it to be a good read since I knew nothing about the gun or round.
202 Zulaica Automatic Revolver
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulaica_Automatic_Revolver
The Zulaica Automatic Revolver was an automatic revolver of Spanish origin. The weapon was fed from a 6 round cylinder and chambered in the .22 LR round.[1]
Overview[edit]
M. Zulaica y Cia., Eibar, Spain. began manufacturing 'Velo-Dog' type pocket revolvers in the early 1900s. In 1905, Zulaica patented an unusual automatic revolver design, but few were ever manufactured and even fewer have survived.[1]

203 NRS-2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NRS-2
The NRS-2 (special scout knife) (official GRAU index 6P25U) is a survival knife with a built-in single-shot shooting mechanism designed to fire a 7.62×42mm SP-3 (СП-3) cartridge, similar to the SP-4 cartridge designed for the PSS silent pistol).[1]
It was manufactured by the Tula Arms Plant for Soviet Spetsnaz troops in the 1980s, and is still used as a personal weapon for modern Spetsnaz troops and special law enforcement groups. The NRS-2 is designed for the blade to either be stabbed or thrown at the enemy, or fire at the enemy using the inbuilt shooting mechanism at distances up to 25 metres.
Shooting mechanism[edit]
In order to use the inbuilt shooting mechanism, the opening lever is pressed, and the barrel rotated out of the knife handle, the cartridge is inserted into the firing chamber and the barrel is then inserted back into the handle and rotated back into place using two prongs that fit into the outer latch. The lever on the right side of the NRS-2 is then cocked while the safety catch located beside the barrel is turned to the "fire" position. Then the user's left hand is used to hold the knife blade, and the right hand to hold the knife handle, with the right index finger being placed on the trigger, which is located above the safety catch beside the gun barrel.[2]
NR-2 survival knife[edit]
A modified version of the NRS-2 without the shooting mechanism was also developed, designated the "NR-2", with the shooting mechanism being replaced with a container of survival equipment.

Relod'n you got to be kidding me,,,, 8 minutes?
204 Heckler & Koch P11
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_&_Koch_P11
And a video of one being fired
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...A7A52BDAC0DBA15527BEA7A52BDAC0DBA&FORM=VRDGAR
The HK P11 is a Heckler & Koch pistol designed as an underwater firearm that was developed in 1976. It has five barrels and each fires a 7.62 X 36mm dart electrically. Loading is by means of a five-round case. The design resembles that of a pepper-box firearm.
Design[edit]
Since ordinary-shaped rounds are inaccurate and have a very short range when used underwater, this pistol fires steel darts.[1] It has five barrels, each of which is loaded with a cartridge, giving the gun a pepper-box appearance, and it is electrically ignited from a battery pack in the pistol grip.[2]
After firing all five cartridges, the barrel unit must be sent back to its manufacturer for reloading.[3] It is very similar to its predecessor, the Mk 1 Underwater Defense Gun. In the past, Heckler & Koch has denied knowledge of its existence.[4]
This firearm is somewhat bulkier than its Soviet counterpart, the SPP-1 Underwater Pistol, but it has five barrels, as opposed to the Soviet firearm which has four. However, the SPP-1 does not need to be sent back to the manufacturer to be reloaded.
