[Shooter 2.5]

As I see it, the weakness of the standard revolver in which the top strap becomes elongated from abusive handloads should be about non-existent in the mateba.

I guess so since there isn't one.

...even more fascinating.

And without a top strap it is still able to withstand the pounding of the 454 cartridge. Wow. I suspect the sliding motion of the upper (receiver?) also helps to reduce the pounding on the frame.
