Found another gem from forgotten weapons. I t about the Mars Automatic Pistols designed by a really oddball person firing powerful cartridges that wasn't matched until the the Wildey and Automag came along. and this was in the late 19th Century!
What killed this design off was the gun was very complex and too much recoil, which both Webly and the British Military had informed the designer about but he was too stubborn to listen. Had a somewhat wide cartridge selection, including a .45 long that had the same ballistics as the .45 Win Mag.
