The new Chiappa Rhino has revolutionized the revolver with a patented design that tames the prehistoric characteristic that most revolvers possess. For starters, the appearance is like no other revolver you have ever seen. Typically a revolver fires from the top most chamber which is aligned with the barrel. The new Chiappa Rhino barrel is aligned with the bottom most chamber which is the key component to Rhino’s tame characteristics. Due to the lower position of the barrel, the Rhino’s appearance is abstract from any other revolver design.

The gun gives the word "ugly" a bad name, and the marketing message, "abstract from any other revolver design," is off in space somewhere.
That said™, I have a hunch firing the lowest rather than highest round in the cylinder might help reduce muzzle flip. That's not the dumbest idea I've ever heard of; the execution is another story.
The gun looks like the Mateba after somebody went to work on it with a hack saw and a Dremel tool. Maybe it's a misgenation between a Mateba and a Charter Arms revolver.
All that said™, I have a hunch this one's going to end up being a collector's item. Remember the AutoMag? Interesting ideas that flop in the market have a way of turning out to be good investments in due time.
