What? And those are legal in the US? It's worse than I thought.

Have you ever heard of a revolver? Most of those do not, and are one of the oldest designs still in use.

A gun like that needs the firing pin removed and put in a museum.

LOL that's ridiculous. Revolvers are still great firearms, quite useful for target shooting, hunting, and self defense. A good one can last generations, as they are simple and reliable.

And they are unsafe for the owner and environment.
