Revolver using Rifle Bullets - is it Possible ?

[gunDriller]

I have a machinist friend coming over later to buy some machine tools.

I was thinking about showing him a screen-capture of a handgun I modelled about a year ago.

Basically a revolver with a large capacity. The CAD model is currently sized for .380 Special, handgun bullets.

I picked out the .38 Special and a larger rifle bullet, the .308 I think, when I started modelling the assembly.


I was thinking, perhaps the percussion from one bullet going off could detonate neighboring bullets.

I know the primer is precisely engineered.

Rifle bullets in a revolver geometry ... like a mini Gatling gun ...


One would need to use hearing protection, I expect.

I've seen it done before but it's retarded.

Also rifle calibers move faster and straighter since they come out of a long gun's longer barrel.

Just use a Glock 29. 20, or 40.

those .223 pistols were popular not too long ago, not in a revolver though.

That would be possibly ear splitting in a .308

Years ago I was into metallic silhouette shooting and had a Remington XP-100 chambered for 7mm/308 (.308 brass). Back then it was a wildcat and had to roll your own by re necking and sizing the cartage. The cartage was so long that if not fired you had to remove the bolt to get the round out .

Firing that thing was pure thunder! At night it spit flame a good 10 feet. When on the firing line, people stopped what they were doing when it fired to see what in the hell was that!

I still kick my ass for selling it but needed the cash at the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_XP-100

Had a 16 inch barrel, and I called it my space gun, because of the stock styling. Looked like this less the scope, with target sights.

that's how i feel about selling my Mercedes biodiesel's (separate subject, though prep-related.)


i thought it would be loud.

it would be challenging to fit in one's pocket.

when i'm talking to someone & the talk turns to guns, i ask to see if they're CC or OC.

one guy had a .38, in his pants pocket, another had a smaller caliber that that was his pocket gun.


either way, neither wore suspenders.

when i just put my cellphone in my pocket, my pants fall down. i HAVE to wear suspenders. (separate subject.)

A revolver is a nogo, those casings would never fall out once spent.

are you calling me PHAT ? :)

I'm wondering if the Glock 17 is similar to the 38 special, in terms of bullets.

It may seem ass backwards, I bought the bullets first because I wanted to measure them against the industry specs.

Some industry variations but nothing major.


I did key in on the 0.375 dimension of the .38.

So when I got a machining cutter with an ID of .375, I found that it was a PERFECT fit.

That's what it's a pic of, a counterbore cutter with a .38 special bullet in it. Should have a set of ear-muffs attached. :)

Doesn't that sort imply that it would need an ejection mechanism of some sort ?

I figure you're talking about the near-welding of the brass case to the part that sort of looks like a clock ? (if it had 12 bullets it would be close)

I would expect the brass to be deformed. I could imagine the wrestling match (to get it out of the shell) that could ensue if I ever pursued it, on the first prototype.

But I think materials selection could help to deal with this situation. Teflon coating, whatever.

let's just say, when i put on ski's, gravity pulls me down the hill fast.

sometimes TOO fast. :)


as far as the Revolver-using-Rifle-Bullets - seems like you might want a
handle long enough for 2 hands.

Humm?

Has the local ski patrol ever ask you to tag along while they were trying to trigger avalanches on the slopes and cutting new trails ?

Maybe if you're making some sort of carnival gun and charging people to see if they can hit bottles with it.

In this case the thrill would come by signing away your life and ears first.

most rifle have a 1to 9 barrel twist so the shot go were it needs to
