This imposing hand cannon bad boy is an electric cap ignition Shettier revolver made by Geind. The lack of a conventional hammer is due to the electric "charge" ignition cap firing design. What this does is rather than a blast cap on the back of the shells the flechette (Shett dart) shells have a special resin that the weapon sends a charged jolt into which fires the round. A top break design to load the cylinder with five large caliber (similar to a 50) shettes. The weapon is in hot mode, safety off indicated by the dim red lights in the trigger housing. The weapon has a little wear from it's owners use and the gunmetal gray finish has a subtle parkerizing on it's surface.
Electric cap ignition shettiers picked up a slang nickname "lighters" (which recalls the old 40s film noir term heaters) and the term is now common enough to be in use by the actual manufactures when assigning weapon codes and names. This, like the previous shettier posts, was based on a thumbnail on this sheet [link] It probably won't be too hard to find it on there more to come... Cheers! Edit: |

"Operation: Total Domination"
If I had a critique Id say the handle is bit long considering how high the web of the hand would rest on it (good on a high recoil weapon due to less leverage on the wrist) so you probably don't need as much grip length. Probably as short as just above/below the next to last wrap line on the grip.
