 John Browning actually made the first full auto lever gun,  it was a 44 and worked with a flapper that cought the gas from a ifred shell in front of the barrel to work the lever,

He was indeed ahead of his time.  His designs were genius, and still time proven.  It gave the gun designers after him something to work with and build upon.

Wasn't the guy in the video I posted merely levering really fast while hitting the trigger at the right moment.   He also held the gun very tightly because I couldn't see much recoil.  I used to own a 30-30 Winchester Model 94 and they kicked like a mule.

If you watch his hand in the second of the half of the video, where they run it in slow motion, you can see that the watch he holds the lever his index finger hits the trigger on the way back up with the lever so he just needs to rack the lever REALLY fast and it goes many much bang.

I don't remember the model but if memory serves wasn't there was an appendage attached/hinged to the lever that could be flipped out, so when working the action during the upstroke the appendage would make contact with the trigger upon the action closing, hence firing as fast as you could work it. Cowboy era firearms perhaps?

These Cowboy play actors are not shooting real loads, if there is a slug it makes no velocity at all.

This kid has always amazed me.  I was at a shoot hangin with my brother, and you always knew when Missouri Lefty was up, sounded like a 3gun competitor.....only faster. ;) 

Granted, the "Gamers" run .38s usually- low recoil, but they do have to maintain a "power factor" in order to know down steel targets and such.

when people say that semi auto fires too fast, i always pull up MO Lefty on instagram and watch their eyeballs pop out of their head.
