 | | In 1997, the Mateba company developed a type of recoil operated automatic revolver, commercially named the Mateba Autorevolver, which uses the recoil energy to auto-rotate a normal revolver cylinder holding 6 or 7 cartridges, depending on the model. |
 | | The company has made several versions of its "autorevolver", including longer barelled and even rifle-like variations, usually chambered for.357 Magnum ammunition, but also available in larger calibers like.44 Magnum and.454 Casull. |
 | | Italian made, the mateba is the only semi-automatic revolver. |
