The Mc-255 (Template:Lang-ru) is a shotgun fed by a 5-round internal revolving cylinder. Its design is quite similar to the Russian-made MTs255, produced by the TsKIB SOO Central Design and Research Bureau of Sporting and Hunting Arms. While the Russian made guns are available in 20, 28, 32 and .410 gauge, little information is available concerning the Mc-255.

The Mc-255 is unique in that the forearm extends nearly all the way back to the cylinder. The shotgun is reloaded in a manner consistent with that of most modern revolvers, by unlocking the cylinder, and swinging it away from the frame to the left and down.
