how do you even make a selective fire revolver

i don't think the cylinder would turn fast enough lol

You don't, is how

Either manually operated or FA only

and the latter only for the big boys

aircraft cannons and such

Revolvers can shoot fast, bruh

It is a very big revolver

And it is a revolver because of the high fire rate

Yeah, but that's externally powered

idk if you'd be able to make a handheld one function fast enough though

There isn't a guy sitting there working a very big trigger to turn the cylinder

At that caliber it would be too heavy to make it a gatling gun, so instead it is a gatling-esque revolver with just one barrel

Literally what I was saying

@Tohob Au contrail mein Schatz. Soviet union actually made a full-auto revolver once

huh, that's pretty wild

It's just soviet gun prototypes are not widely known to the world

A true handheld full-auto revolver that was fed from a belt!

Why tho

operated by gasses and in a clever twist ejected empty shells with a gas too!

Because an inventor could

No other reason

Oh, forgot to mention why it makes sense

Gatling guns and full-auto revolvers exist to have an insanely fast fire rate

You see, if you will use the usual rocking-back-and-forth mechanism to feed at 2000RPM speed, you will start stripping your rounds from bullets or seating the bullet deeper into the round as it is being jerked suddenly to either side

handheld gatling gun when?

In a gatling/revlover, the round is inserted into the chamber gradually while the cylinder rotates, thus reducing the lateral speed of loading

So now you can use the very conventional ammo for your crazy fire rate gun thingy

@missdanger XM556 Microgun

P90 sized gatling gun

I am trying to find the museum photo of russian crazy revolver prototype

And I suppose the M134 can technically be handheld

You aint hitting the ground if you fire that straight down like that but you know

So this chat is strictly firearms or also related topics?

Look at the description

The closest thing to a handheld gatling you can get
