shut the frick up. I've been looking for one for months.
Isn't that a French/Belgian design? Being an American is easy, just walk across the US Southern border and you are American
What aare these called again? Thought this was just some bullshit they made up for Red Dead
LeMat
I wish there was a cartridge loading version like Hunt has.
They make theirs a break action so you can access the shotgun breech and put a shell in. It would be difficult to realistically make it, since locking surfaces are going to be difficult.
Break actions are cool but trash from a structural standpoint
Grape shot revolver
The frenchman who made it was living in nawlens being american at the time
>9 shot revolver
Why do people do anything other than 6? Surely 6 is most efficient just by the nature of circle geometry.
Because if you can shoot more, you should.
It's not about efficiency it's about having fun
Because 9 is 3 more than 6.
you are incorrect. first of all, the center mechanism could be larger than the chambers. second of all, if your 6 circles all fit perfectly, that means they have zero thickness between chambers. by your moronic logic 5 would be optimal, since its the highest without zero chamber wall thickness.
what your saying only makes sense if youre trying to make your cylinder be as small in diameter as possible, and again, 5 would be the magic number.
rounds like 22 magnum can fit 9 rounds into the same diameter cylinder as 6 of 357, for example. and having as many rounds as possible means less cylinder rotation per shot, which is preferable.
If you factor in the chamber walls you are just dealing with larger circles.
>only makes sense if youre trying to make your cylinder be as small in diameter as possible
Yes, light and compact is better.
Because percussion cap revolvers are not quick to reload… so generally more shots is better.. it was the original “muh capacity” sidearm argument.
You've crunched the numbers correctly, but you've framed the problem incorrectly. There's no reason why your arbor pin needs to tesselate with your chambers.
The smaller your arbor pin, the more packing-efficient it is to use fewer chambers, until for a sufficiently small arbor pin relative to your chambers, you'd be able to achieve a much better packing factor by using 3 rounds using the same hexagonal packing.
Where the arbor pin hole is significantly larger than your chambers + wall thickness (such as with the LeMat here), you begin to achieve better packing factors by using more chambers.
This is coming from an autistic engineer who's obsessed with the number six. Aesthetically I agree with your sentiment and don't think I'd ever carry a revolver with more or fewer than six rounds, but I recognize that from a design optimization standpoint, there is an argument to be made for other numbers of rounds, depending on caliber, ultimate cylinder diameter, desired capacity, etc.
>There's no reason why your arbor pin needs to tesselate with your chambers.
Won't that waste space/material? Non-tessellating circles require proportionally thicker gaps.
A negligible amount given the application, and more weight is arguably desirable.
Why would you want less than 20?
nice assault revolver
reloading a black powder revolver is a massive pain in the ass on the field, you cant really do it outside of camp as an officer
and the majority of self defense situations show the result as needing more than 1 shot to incapacitate a person with a pistol, so what do you do when you have a whole company charging at you?
Bloodwork revolver is 8 rounds of 357 fun.
Same
I wonder why it's been this long until I've seen a cylinder release like that. Did they just come out or something? Never ever seen or heard of one, had to look it up
KelTec of XIX century
These were in an era where reloading was a pain, traveling was a pain, finding fully stocked shops with modern stuff was a pain (Unless you were on the East Coast and close to a port city), etc. Because of these factors guns were built around being as versatile as possible in cases, so something like this may have been sold as an all in one frontiersman gun that you can hunt with and fend off bears or people as well.
Yeah but the Lemat was a fragile piece of shit and didn't benefit from those circumstances.
Sounds like a classic example of intent outstripping the reality of the design, not that an advertiser would care.
Say a guy wanted to make a modern version of a lematt what could you do for the underbarrel shotgun? I'd use this as my platform
Maybe a revolver with a bottom pic rail or something could handle a black powder short barrel that could do shotgun type rounds, and I bet that already exists as a commercial product.
what?
picatinny rail moron
That would have been much shorter to say and more clear. Did you just not know how to spell it until you looked it up just now?
Sorry about your fat tiny hands anon, maybe you should try some dedicated .38 platforms instead or a smaller 5 shot
>what could you do for the underbarrel shotgun?
ATF would shit their panties.
Make one out of a rhino..
Ya know.. maybe that's the trick or something with a longer top rail and put it up above pic related
Actually not my hands grabbed that pic off here some time ago. Mine are kinda girly and on the small size but your mom doesn't complain about them when I fist her box. So that's cool.
You morons do know we already have shotgun handguns that can fire .45 45lc 454 as well as 3" shells without needing another barrel?
>shotgun handguns
nope, those have rifled barrel.
Same old dumb ignorant shit that was only relevant when the judge first hit the scene, they now make shells specifically for these guns that perform very well in any range you would actually use them in
Not to mention these fricking monsters
>they now make shells specifically for these guns
Disc projectiles.
Better patterns, but only 3-4 discs and penetration is horrible and sucks.
They are meme revolvers. Worst of both revolver and shotgun.
If you knew about firearms, you'd know that. Or just trying to cope with a meme purchase?
Yeah and it patterns like ass because shot hates rifling so you get a donut affect that starts spreading to uselessness immediately, it’s a shitty compromise at best, a boomer gimmick at worst.
Legitimately when are we going to get a modern reproduction?
>recently moved back to Massachusetts
>at NH gunshop looking for specific revolver
>they don't have it in store, but their distributor has it
>buy it
>it has to ship to NH store, then ship to an FFL of my choice in MA
>I call the FFL to give them a heads up later
>clerk tells me: "okay, thanks for the heads up. we'll give you a call when it's here, and as long as it's on the list of approved firearms for MA we'll give it to you"
what a fricking cucked state
