TMC Defense MAF-357 LX
.357 Magnum fully-automatic revolver.
EDIT - 10/22/2018: Secured the laser sight with two metal "straps" connected to the lower receiver hinge. It will not interfere with hinge movement or reloading.

A truly ostentatious and impractical weapon, the MAF-357 LX is a gold-plated, silver-accented version of the (new) MAF line of automatic revolvers, the parent design has yet to see widespread use amongst its security forces due to the extreme recoil and poor reliability.
The LX, or Luxury variant, is a custom model tailored specifically for high ranking executives of the Thricell Military Conglomerate. This particular model was built for the CEO of the corporation, Montgomery Archibald Bates.
Boasting fully-automatic fire, the MAF-357 favours offensive output above all else, allowing users to take down heavily armored or physically strong targets with ease via brute force.
It achieves the full auto feature using a gas impingement system similar to the M4/M16 series of assault rifles, drawing gas from fired rounds to operate a slide-like mechanism to reset the hammer to the half-cocked position. As the user holds down the trigger, the hammer will cock, strike and reset repeatedly as the weapon's slide reciprocates, effectively providing full auto fire.
However, due to the revolver's fairly light weight, recoil becomes almost uncontrollable, potentially pulling a user's aim far off target, and with the full-auto firing at 400 RPM, many shots can go wayward, wasting ammunition.
To that end, the MAF-357 has been largely considered as a novelty weapon, as its poor overall performance and risk of self-inflicted injury has become a massive hinderance to anyone unfortunate enough to wield this weapon.
This particular model has been equipped with a laser sight to act as both a counter weight and aiming device, as well as a velocity optimized barrel paired with customized ammunition to maximize lethality and impact force. In addition, the slide mechanism has the name "Monty" engraved on both sides.
All models of the MAF-357 feature an eight round cylinder and ambidextrous safety.
