Well I have no idea what that would look like.

How the fuck does this gun operate...

The hammer hits a lever that swings another hammer? I don't know it's a chinese cartoon who cares.

Fair argument

Plus the man shooting it is a pacifistic master marksman & a plant.

I know, I've seen it. But his wonky gun breaks my suspension of disbelief

Pretty good as far as anime goes

you dont dare to question the logic of anime

No

Trap pistol grip panels

How can someone do that to a poor 1911, Browning dindu nuffin

Wait, did you assume my handgun?!?

its really not all that hard to imagine a handgun where the hammer drops to the bottom cilinder rather than the top cilinder. i dont know why youd make a gun like that (probably something to do with the plot) but to say its nonsensicle is a bit of a stretch.

Look up Mateba revolvers

The Chiappa Rhino is another model that fires from the bottom cylinder. The reason it's not more common is that the mechanism tends to be considerably more complex. A revolver isn't as simple as it seems from the outside.

looking up those guns it seems to be a feature rather than a bug

Yeah I know about the Mateba 6 Unica, but that has it's hammer strike the bottom cylinder, not the top one like in Trigun

It makes sense from a recoil perspective to fire closer in line with the hand

similar concept, barrel as close to possible in line with hand

MTR 8, by the way

also Mateba

this is fine, too

I don't think that artist understands firearms

You think?

If that gun used Trounds it might actually be a workable design. Dardick Tround guns had both a magazine and revolving cylinder of sorts

The text implies that that it is unrelated to any actual firearms design in reality

Huh, that is a nifty concept, I remember seeing a gun in Ergo Proxy that is mostly a handle, that has the capacity & fire rate of a semi-auto pistol

I wondered if there is a to make a mechanism that compact that would allow it to work, something like a Luger:

It could work as a simple blowback if you use a heavy spring

A revolver concept is another maybe with the images I see above images above, though of course it is one thing for something to work in concept & another in action.

hmm... you'd sacrifice much of what is normally magazine capacity , you're not getting more than a few rounds in there, so a revolver isn't an awful idea

oh
