This video from Brownells Gun Techs Keith Ford and Steve Ostrem showcases three distinct variants of the legendary LeMat revolver, discovered at Rock Island Auction Company. The "Grapeshot Revolver" is a massive, nine-shot firearm with a cylinder revolving around a 20-gauge smoothbore barrel. The video features an original muzzle-loading percussion model famously carried by Confederate generals Jeb Stuart and P.G.T. Beauregard, a Belgian-made pinfire model firing copper-cased cartridges, and a unique, all-centerfire cartridge LeMat-type revolver. The description highlights the historical significance of the LeMat, its production in France and Belgium, and its journey through the Union blockade, also noting its Steampunk aesthetic and potential use against supernatural threats.

This video ranks the top ten 'badass looking' revolvers, prioritizing a blend of aesthetics, performance, and practicality. Exclusions were made for overly impractical or 'sci-fi' designs. The list features iconic models from Ruger, Smith & Wesson, and Korth, culminating with the historically significant LeMat Revolver at number one.

This video details the design evolution of the LeMat Grapeshot Revolver, from its Belgian prototype to later production models. It highlights key mechanical changes in the hammer, trigger guard, barrel switching, and cylinder lockup. The review also covers variations in barrel markings and the historical context of its use by Confederate officers.

This review delves into the rare centerfire cartridge versions of the LeMat revolver and carbine, contrasting them with the more common muzzle-loading models. While the muzzle-loaders are historically significant for the Civil War, the centerfire variants, though mechanically superior, were commercially unsuccessful, making them highly sought-after collector's items. The carbine version is particularly rare, featuring a unique trigger guard spur for safety.
