Hunt: Showdown Caldwell Conversion Chain Pistol

The Caldwell Conversion Chain Pistol chambered in 45 Long Colt from Hunt: Showdown!

Nothing unusually special about this one except I've added the feature to be able to fill the empty chambers outside of the loading gate which should help with initial loading time. It only makes since due to the fact they're RIGHT THERE! You still have to eject rounds from the loading gate.

Has a subtle wibbly wobbly chain.

CALDWELL CONVERSION CHAIN PISTOL. (See also, PISTOL, VICTOR CALDWELL) The sluggish reload time of the original Caldwell Conversion Pistol inspired Victor Caldwell—son of company namesake Henry Samuel Caldwell—to experiment with variations that would add both speed and grace to the original design. The result was the innovative if unusual Conversion Chain Pistol, the only of Victor's designs to see production, though of a limited scope. Caldwell family friends have speculated that the design was an attempt by the younger Caldwell to repair the decade-long estrangement between his father and himself. The failure of this attempt has been linked to Victor Caldwell's disappearance in 1895, when his design was eclipsed by a simpler and more popular single action revolver.

The Caldwell Conversion Chain Pistol was innovative in that it uses a ribbon of 17 cartridges. Cocking the hammer propels the loop through the chamber, readying a new cartridge for a quick and immediate release. According to company memorandum from the time, there was great doubt surrounding the concept, but it was not prone to jamming or misfiring as feared. However, once the cartridge chain is spent, the chain pistol is slower to reload than its predecessor, and what it gains in cartridge capacity, it loses in accuracy, range, and power.
