R.B. Yöpkán Kárgú
R.B. Yöpkán Kárgú is a prototypical lever-action repeating rifle, designed by Radescu Batica. It fires a "rocket-ball" cartridge that was a curious hybrid: self-contained but completely caseless, with the propellant and percussion cap in a hollow in the base of the bullet. Ammunition is loaded in a tubular magazine below the barrel.
It is clumsy, inaccurate, and underpowered and is mostly of interest to collectors. However, despite not being a very good gun, it became the ancestor of later repeating rifles.
