Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Extremely Cool cartridge conversion of the cap-and-ball LeMat revolver in WestWorld is somewhat fanciful due to the engineering requirements revolving around the central shotgun. Still, a LeMat was made into a cartridge gun for the old TV series “Johnny Ringo,” though apparently only blanks were fired. And there was a true cartridge LeMat, as shown in the vid below, but it was a fugly failure. One wonders if clever modern engineering and modern materials such as titanium alloys might allow for a truly functional LeMat cartridge pistol.
