Don’t have time to watch this video, but I’ll go ahead and recommend it now and watch it when I get time.
My Mechanic actually has a Dardick in a signed display case. No he won’t sell it. 8)

Scary. He “makes” dummy trounds by putting trounds in backwards.
One mistake and he gets an AD. If he wanted to dry fire it, he should have had a bunch of solid plastic dummies made.
And the fact that you can load the trounds in backwards is an extreme fail.
In a lot of ways the Dardick is “Rube Goldberg builds a gun”.
This is just a guess, but I believe the revolving open chamber action of the Dardick pistol lives on today in the experimental LSAT light machine-gun.

I had heard of these, but never got to see that much detail before. It’s fascinating how far down the wrong road a smart guy can go. Put it in with the Webley-Fosbery semiautomatic revolver, the Russian Nagant gas-seal revolver, and the Frommer Stop. Of course, the most famous dead end in firearms is the Luger P’08.
