      No one dared to make a slip
      The stranger there among them
      Had a Gasser on his hip
      _Gasser on his hiiip_
      It was early in the morning
      When he rode into the town
      He came riding from the south side
      Slowly looking all around
      "He's an lopov loose and running"
      Came the whisper from each lip
      "And he's here to do some business
      With the Gasser on his hip"
      _Gasser on his hiiip_
      In this town there lived an outlaw
      By the name of Bosnian Red
      Many men had tried to take him
      And that many men were dead
      He was vicious and a killer
      Though a youth of twenty-four
      And the notches on his pistol
      Numbered one and nineteen more
      _One and nineteen mooo-ooore_
      Now the stranger started talking
      Made it plain to folks around
      Was a _kk Gendarmie_
      Wouldn't be too long in town
      He came here to take a lopov
      Back alive, or maybe dead
      And he said it didn't matter
      He was after Bosnian Red
      _After Bosnian Ree-eed_
      Wasn't long before the story
      Was relayed to Bosnian Red
      But the lopov didn't worry
      Men that tried before were dead
      Twenty men had tried to take him
      Twenty men had made a slip
      Twenty-one would be the Ranger
      With the Gasser on his hip
      _Gasser on his hii-iiip_
      The morning passed so quickly
      It was time for them to meet
      It was twenty past eleven
      When they walked out in the street
      Volk were watching from the windows
      Everybody held their breath
      They knew this handsome Gendarme
      Was about to meet his death
      _'Bout to meet his deeee-aaaath_
      There was forty feet between them
      When they stopped to make their play
      And the swiftness of the Gendarme
      Is still talked about today
      Bosnian Red had not cleared leather
      'Fore a bullet fairly ripped
      And the Gendarme's aim was deadly
      With the Gasser on his hip
      _Gasser on his hiii-iip_
      It was over in a moment
      And the Volk had gathered round
      There before them lay the body
      Of the lopov on the ground

      It propels a massive 330gn bullet at a leisurely 500fps.
      Bear in mind there's a "pistol" and a "carbine" load for this cartridge. The "pistol" load has about 20% less powder. The "carbine" load probably achieves around 600fps.
      Still, even at that lazy velocity, a .45 caliber, 330 grain projectile is gonna do some serious damage.

    As beefy, and unwieldy as the Gasser seems, I'd definitely want it if I was backpacking or camping in Alaska, or Montana- the power of the Cartridge alone could make up for some of it's lesser qualities.
    Also heard that German Stormtroopers during The Great War liked to pack these around- exactly for that reason, the high power of the cartridge.

      I'd rather a Colt SAA. Missing the charging bear with a huge bullet does you no good lol.
      That trigger looks like a special kind of bad: I wonder how it's designed internally that makes it so heavy.

    Perfect hand cannon for ankle carry.

    I feel like BF1 is underpowering every revolver except for Peacekeeper.

    Is the Gasser low recoil? Or is Mae Just really strong.

    At first looking at this gun I thought “ it’s going to be hard to fight with that” until I saw it was double action

    Its called the 1870 cause the barrel is 1,870 feet above your hand when you fire it

    11mm Gasser can be made via trimming 45-70 down to the appropriate length.😉

    I have never heard of one of these, but now I want one because it's so steampunk-esk lmao

  • @guillermocingolani3307

    Es un excelente revolver para su época.
    Con el sistema Abadie - que desconecta el martillo cuando se abre la puerta para carga y descarga - precursor de la barra de transferencia.
    Yo quisiera tenerlo entre mis fierros.

      Like any Gunslinger she shoots with her heart and she has big enough heart for a even this steampunk hand cannon. (and yes i know the correct litany, we hope Mae doesn't have to kill anything but paper)

    What's the caliber, kinda reminds me of the 1873 Colt a bit.
