I'm trying to find an antique gun but can't find it anywhere online. I was hoping someone might know a more technical name for it other than "ring revolver". It's from the early 20th century, and it looks like a large ring you can wear on your finger, but its also a mini revolver, 6 barrel I believe.

Aww, I thought you meant Vietnam guns, or WW2 guns. I have some of those.

i used to collect them but my current gf is scared of them, so mine are left in storage right now with my youngest brother.

think the one you're on about is the ring revolver (one shown in the link above is one of the early english prototypes), most are in museums now; so best way to get one is special order from a jewler/weaponsmith.

some of the weapons i've collected over the years have been custom from weaponsmiths.

that looks so cool.

I am a collector, I usually find them on the street. downtown Atlanta is a great place to find some good ones. Listen for the shots and you'll be sure they're gonna ditch it pretty soon.

lol, you joke, but my friend found a small revolver ditched underneath a leased house he was working on. (the house was on the south side, I.E. the wrong side, I.E. my side )

anyway, that ring revolver looks sweet.

My precious, I wants it!

That looks so cool!, I wonder what the bullets look like, or if it uses lead pellets and gunpowder, I just know I'd love one for christmas.

i could afford to go out right now and guet myself an MP7, drugganov(sp?) and a g36... oh and i'd really love to buy a really basic pistol and mod it up. i once saw this guy who had a pistol, added a laser scope, grenade launcher, even added neons, and then filled his clip with tracer bullets, and thought "wow".

however, it would mean two things;
1) got no money left over
2) wouldn't get on with parents afterwards

If I remember correctly, it uses gunpowder and shots are deadly up to 20yards away!
