Description


This is a gunblade-revolver that had slumbered on my hard disc for some time now. The weapon is completely fictional and my original design. It is a six-shot revolver, firing caseless so-called trounds. Trounds are caseless cartridges with a triangular profile, thus using the available space in the revolving drum very effectively. The grip arrangement leads to a sharp angle and allows powerful chopping blows. Hope you like it :D

Good idea. I saw something similar in our war museum. Polish 16-17 th century cavalry used hybride of pistol and axe, but I suppose it was not very effective. Your version looks both sinister and deadly. Great design. :)

Nice work! Looks dangerous - modern day pirate?! This is more real than you'd think. The Russian Spetsnaz use a knife called the NRS-2 which is to all purposes a combat knife, except it fires a single 7.62mm bullet from the handle, with a range of 20 metres (for emergencies!) well done!

The chineese army has a knife that has a blank cartridge in the handle and can fire its blade up to 5 meters. Also kinda cool!

very nice job, but you said it fires trounds- triangualr cartriges, and the housings in the revolving drum are round... am i missing something? other than that really great work.

Cool! Someone really reads the notes! :) The bullets are round and so is the barrel, but the propellant cartridge in which they are enclosed are triangular. The drum itself is rund too, simply because a round drum revolves better. As the drum takes 6 cartridges, what is the ideal shape of each? Its a triangle, of course, because 6 triangles form an octagon.

:D sorry for this void - theres my technical opinion. I think six triangles form octagon rather rarely, hexagon is much more common case. triangular cases are nonsense, round holes are much easier to drill. caseless ammo for revolver? trum must fit to frame really tight. Why those ridges right agains hole in drum? they re usually between, to make drum lighter, but in case of triangular cartidges...

Arg! Of course its a hexagon. I mixed things up a bit. How easy it is to drill holes is of no importance. Manufacturers like Ruger for example dont drill anymore. They use cast steel. The ridges on this drum are there to make the drum lighter, because in the forward part, the bullets protrude from the propellant block and those are much thinner than the propellant and of course round. A small number of manufacturers already has experimented with trounds, so the concept cant be so stupid after all. ;)
