I like how this chatbot knew that it was on PrepHole and that blacks are African, so it picked a South African weapons manufacturer as the name of its imagined black guy.
If you're going to have a silly barrel like that anyway might as well flip it so it's low bore and get something in the trade. Instead it's all the down side and no upside, it's still a big gun.
Isn't meant as an accurate target shooting gun? Barrel is long enough to be hitting paper at pistol ranges and the longer length gives a good sight picture
Yeah, but a conventional revolver can still give you a long sight radius in addition to a long barrel. The mateba only gives you one of those and does nothing else to make up for it.
>and does nothing else to make up for it.
Did you miss the absurdly low bore axis and how the weight of the cylinder is shifted forward from the grip? And why would the extra velocity from a longer barrel matter for this guns intended purpose anyway? All it has to do is punch paper at 25 meters.
It's an Italian pistol made for a specific target shooting discipline. The whole point is to make the barrel axis as low as possible to reduce muzzle flip. Barrel length doesn't matter because they're shooting mousefart tier .38 special wadcutters.
I have seen old magazine articles which mentioned a .357 Magnum version but I don't think those were ever actually made, I've never seen one despite a lot of searching. There's also a carbine version.
it looks like something a manga artist would draw. After reading some of the other posts, I see that it has and fills a niche rather well. It's a revolver that's been min-maxed for target shooting
An overly long revolver/pistol with a short barrel and all the other issues of a revolver, cylinder gap, limited reloading with no actual advantages.
An overly long pistol/revolver with all the size issues of a pistol for a short barrel and DAO striker-fired and unable to be suppressed or have an under-barrel light because of the ejector rod.
It is doubly shit.
it's a bad design because it has a shorter barrel than a conventional revolver design of equivalent length
Barrel length is overrated

>Thoughts about the Mateba
Looks like it came from a parallel universe. Maybe they are still doing cowboy stuff?
I want one
why is the cylinder placed so low? any sovietjank knowers?
Bore is closer to support point which reduces the crazy muzzle flip that normal revolvers have.
>sovietjank
Mateba is Italian, retard.

So.... Your saying...The bullets don't go " Wop " when they hit a target !
Adds weight towards the front reducing muzzle flip for competition shooters
All thermoballistic machines are kino. I wish Ghisoni could have been more successful with them.
Looks like it was made with AI or is out of a video game, which is kinda ironic considering its age.
it's neat

If you think this looks like an anime gun you should look up the Mateba and watch it fire…
I think I'm in love. Even .357 magnum loads don't seem to kick very much. I'm gonna LARP as a space cowboy when I get one
