why hasn't anyone made a modern version of this?

It's a firearm that sets fire to your arm

cylinder gap gas babies

because revolving rifles have the problem of gas escaping from the cylinder gap which would burn your arm if you held it by the fore end, so the're pretty much impractical and became obsolete as soon as other repeating rifles were invented. with modern revolving rifles its possible to have deflectors that shield your arm from the hot gas (for example: rossi circuit judge) but with a black powder percussion revolver the risk of a chainfire would be too great.

It could always use necked bullets to form a gas seal like the hand nugget does.

>for example: rossi circuit judge
woops, didn't read your whole post. I recon you've heard of it.
but I meant a modern version as in something like a lemat carbine that used cartridges instead of cap and ball.

>>28398956
I have always wondered. Could you just put a plate on the side of it? or would that just cause it to come right back at you?

>>28399017
you can, and it works. see the rossi circuit judge.

>>28399021

it's a lemat carbine. 9 shot revolver carbine with a smooth bore shotgun barrel in place of the center pin.

Why not just use the same system that the Nagant uses?

>>28399296
because the way the Nagant works effectively requires it to have a garbage trigger AND fire unique rounds with jackets that extend beyond the nose of the bullet
