Can't really tell much about the antique one from this picture, but the revolver is just a replica of the one from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It might be this one, which also has those orange streaks on the cylinder, and also isn't even a proper replica, it's just a 3D-printed one, maybe derived from this model. I'm not too familiar with 3D-printed stuff, but 400 bucks doesn't seem like that much. If I had a hundred billion dollars, I'd just commission a gunsmith to build me an actual functional sci-fi gun.
All in all, a classic Elon move to play a game about corporations doing nefarious shit and go "wow, cool revolver!" (did we have a "wow, cool robot" emoji here, or am I misremembering?). Although admittedly Human Revolution does have Sarif as a "CEO but cool actually" character, so I guess that's who Elon self-inserted as, especially considering Sarif is also a tech-bro obsessed with "improving" humanity with technology.
And yeah, considering the revolver, I kind of doubt he shelled out for a real antique pistol
If I had a hundred billion dollars, I’d just commission a gunsmith to build me an actual functional sci-fi gun.
Yet another example of how almost anybody could use Elon's money better than he can. I bet Elon liked the game and got the first decent replica he found without even considering that he had the means to go way above and beyond with it.
Pretty much, those models are literally the first stuff that popped up from a simple google search, I didn't even need to do any real searching.
Old-timey aristocrats would have at least had engraved swords and all kinds of other cool shit, you can put that stuff in a museum after you're done guillotining them. We're not even going to be able to get anything like that painting of the Soviet soldier entering the Winter Palace, since modern billionaires apparently don't even have anything cool worth looking at.
If it's built to the same spec as the movie prop guns the M40A1 is a Thompson gun in a body kit. Pretty cool that they got the ammo counter working though.
I absolutely love how we have a resident gun expert on this website that we can just ping to ask "yo what the fuck is this gun" and get a solid effort post 10 minutes later

black powder repros are pretty common and cheap, I wouldn't put it past him to have one with no powder, ball or cleaning equipment
Fantastic job comrade, thank you!
