A Revolver That Fires More Than 25 Cartridge Types

submitted by Mordhaus

8 years 8 months 2 weeks ago

500ish were made and around half were sold outside the US before the company went under. It isn't mentioned in the video, but the chambers were specially engineered with a taper ream so that smaller cartridge sizes couldn't swell under pressure from firing. Also, the gun had a specially designed firing pin that auto adjusted for primer depth.

Short List of cartridges:

9 x 17 Short
.380 Revolver
9 x 18 Ultra
9 x 18 Makarov
Browning 9 mm Patronen (long)
9mm glisenti
9 mm Largo
9 mm IMI
9 mm Mauser
Parabellum 9 x 19
9 mm Rimmed
9 x 23 Steyr
9 mm Win Mag
9 mm Police
9 x 23 Winchester
9 mm Federal
9 x 22 R Japanese
.38 ACP
.38 Super
.38 Long Colt
.38 Short Colt
.38 S & W
.38 Special
TS & W .356
.357 Magnum

A weapon mod that adds a ton of new weapons and ammo types for a game like Fallout 4 would make something like this a pretty handy thing to have.

Video game weapons all already have this adaptation.

What a cool little pistol.

Accuracy after 20 feet is probably in the miss-the-side-of-the-barn area...

Actually, all of the actual bullets are in the 9mm width category. Even the .357 is actually .38 but they didn't want to call it a .38 magnum. The difference is in the size of the case. For instance, a 9mm is simply a longer cased .380 with more powder and slightly thicker case walls. This is why the cylinder has tapered chambers, so that the cases can all fit correctly, and the chamber mouths have the little spring projection.

Therefore it is quite accurate, at least as much as any other revolver.

Won't shoot a 22 shell or a crossbow bolt, so what's the point... I bet you couldn't even get a shotgun shell in there!

Oh yes you could.

This would come in handy for the zombie apocalypse.

Or when the next president gets elected (no matter who it is, gun sales will go up).

Video says "carry every day" right at the end. Really?
Wouldn't gun manufacturers sell fewer guns if all the ammo fit in one gun? As mentioned above, certainly handy for the wasteland scavenger to have one gun for the random ammo scattered about.
