The Dardick
A very strange revolver that never caught on because...well, it malfunctioned a lot. And whoever heard of triangular cartridges?
Ian at Forgotten Weapons did a video on the Dardick. And one of the practical shooting channels, maybe TaoFliedermaus? tried 3D printing the triangular casings for those "trounds."
Another of those weird firearms tha sounds a lot better than it ends up in reality. Like the Gyrojet, of the H&K G11.
