Overkill screwed up on the Mateba

[Something]

The gun they're selling as an auto-revolver isn't the Mateba Auto-Revolver. It's a standard revolver known as the Mateba 2006M. The Mateba Auto-Revolver is the Model 6 Unica and is a much cooler gun.

Also, for those confused "auto-revolver" doesn't mean automatic. It means it uses a semi-automatic firing system rather than single or double-action.

The who of the what now?

Where are they selling this gun as auto-revolver again?

On the DLC page. http://www.overkillsoftware.com/games/alesso/

Some of the most beautiful feats of engineering have emerged from Italy.
The 1967 Ferrari Spider, The Rialto Bridge and now the Matever .357.
This beautiful auto-revolver is powerful and accurate, and very rare.

Riiight.But is it so important?

Typical, it's not the first time they don't properly research weapons. *Historic DLC pack*

It looks like the one from Ghost in the Shell, I'm quite content.

I think it's an easy mixup. Most links when you Google mateba m2006 direct you to the Model 6 Unica. But yeah, Overkill and weapon accuracy aren't the strongest. as long as the cylinder flips to the full upright loading position, I will be ok. If they try to shafts us and reuse the old loading position, there will be much disgruntledness.

That one was a fictional M2008, which was a mix between the Unica and the Model2006

Fun fact:English version of Ghost in the Shell, Togusa's gun was mistakenly translated as "Matever", despite being named Mateba in the Japanese version

Fun Fact#2:there are only 5 M2006 registered in American soil, and only one has the rare weighted long barrel

[Malidictus]

Frankly, I'm too ignorant to know one way or the other and real-world weapon accuracy doesn't interest me. So long as the gun looks and sounds cool, so long as it's well animated, it could be .600 Nitro Express for all I care.

Noep will fix it

Mostly I'm curious as to why they picked the Mateba line instead of the newer Chiappa Rhino, which is from the same designer (Emilio Ghisoni), and also from Italy as well.

For those wondering about the differences, the 2006M was a standard revolver in function with the exception of a bottom shooting barrel and cylinder that swing up above the firearm.

The Mateba Model 6 Unica was very similar in appearance in many respects, but lacked the top frame bridge above the cylinder and the frame itself was larger in front of the trigger, an overall bulkier design. Besides looks, it featured a recoil spring to ♥♥♥♥ it's own hammer where the entire upper half of the frame (plus cylinder and barrel) would move backwards over the lower half of the frame like the slide on a semi-automatic pistol.

Basically this is a case of mistaken identity either with the weapon itself or just the little blurb on the website, (it is possible the 2006M was intended and the person who wrote the text on the website make the mistake) which for such an obscure piece isn't a huge deal, I would be more bothered by such a mistake on something far more common and well-known.

I wonder how it will compare between the Bronco and the Peacemaker.

Fun facts are indeed fun! Quite sad such an awesome looking weapon has so few examples avalible.

The Chiappa Rhino isn't hipster enough

The Mateba is really rare due to very few models produce before Mateba went bankrupt after some lawsuit between Mateba and Chiappa itself

I can see the "hipster" part being a possible reason.

But the second part isn't true, the Mateba company folded in 2005 for an entirely different set of reasons, and Chiappa wasn't involved with the Rhino design until after 2008 and Emilio's death.

I should check my sources then :)
