Even better... It has a fixed magazine that's fed from stripper clips:
And that ridged lumps towards the muzzle are actually a crossbar piece that holds the whole slide assembly onto the frame:
AND depressing the lever just above the left side grip panel causes the internal magazine to eject any remaining rounds out the top like a bullet fountain:
AND! there's a full auto machine pistol version with a shoulder stock and extended magazine:
It's a fantastically quirky early autoloader pistol design. But far from the ugliest pistol of all time. It's not even in the Top 20, in my opinion.

I have to agree with member sigarms, the Nambu is so ugly a mother could not love it.

For even MORE steampunk, they made a full auto, extended magazine, shoulder stocked DOUBLE PISTOL version.
I give you Austria's version of "hold my beer, y'all, we got this", the Doppelpistole M 12!
