That's my idea fite me

Also anybody have the Google Daydream? The little controller is motion tracked quite fast and accurately, even though its just a little gyroscope or whatever and a bluetooth module. So what if you put that shit on a gun, and connected it to an AR display to draw a line in front of the muzzle that you can line up on target? Would be stupid fast to aim, and you could do it on any position or situation.

I'm sure that I'm missing some sort of major flaws in the the design of the c96, but if I ever learn how to design a firearm, I'd love to bring that bastard back, especially in an even more powerful caliber.

Speaking of which, why hasn't that happened? Is there some kind of technical issue? Some sort of gas sealing problem?

The brazilian Military Police modified their schnellfeuer to something close. The stock wasn't detachable though, and there was no rails

How is this that much different from current lever actions?

The only way it'd be different is if the tube feed was behind the block like the Spencer. Otherwise you still need to lift the round up to the chamber from the tube.

It has, if you get an AR15 shotgun and convert it to FA with a belt-fed upper. It's a lot of work but I'd imagine some bubba has done it already.

A striker fired revolver, in which the striker curves down to make it more compact.

What if you could fit a 556 magazine in the grip of a PDW? I was thinking it could work if the mag tilted bullets up sharply when they go through, and then added a space where the bullets righted themselves to be fed through.

Well, it's still pretty cool. Honestly, the thought of making a legit modern Schnellfeuer really makes me want to learn about designing guns, although I'd probably do it as more of a hobby than a primary source of income.

>>33236412
not really, at that point just beef up a Winchester 94 action

Pistol ammo, but not what you think.

It's a 4-gauge shotgun shell, containing a subcompact pistol with a parachute. It works like a parachute flare.

You mean shoving a grinded down 12 gauge to .22lr adapter into a flare gun?

>>33240582

Yeah, that's pretty similar to what I was thinking of. However, i wanted to make a new version with a wide array of calibers, from 9mm (for people who don't want to go broke every time they hit the range with it) to 10mm (because I've completely fallen for the 10mm meme and think that a Schnellfeuer in 10mm with a recoil compensator, a stock, and a foregrip would be the shit). Honestly, it's actually getting me excited about the idea of becoming a gunsmith some day.

Also, can someone clarify something for me? The c96 and all its variants were single-stack, right?

>>33236006

An electrically-operated .357 revolver that uses special ammunition wherein each cartridge actually contains three shots of .357 (the cartridge is longer than an actual .357 round and the the cylinder is lengthened to match it). The idea is, by adding a chip or something to sequentially fire each shot in a cartridge in sequence and then use an electric motor to switch to a new cartridge, you could create a fairly reliable, high-capacity revolver. I don't know how reliable electric ignition systems are, though, or how complicated the electronics in the gun would generally be to design and manufacture, so this is probably just a pipe dream. Regardless, I'm planning to work a weapon like this into a cyberppunk tabletop campaign, where many cyborgs use the gun, since the .357 magnum shots are potent against unaugmented targets, and the elongated cylinder can hold specialized "Blade Runner" rounds (yes, that's what the cyborgs call them) which can punch through armored cyborg limbs and explode within, effectively crippling an augmented enemy.

>>33238200
Not really - if it loads from a tube under the barrel, its just as mechanically complex.

Arguably more so, because what pushes the round into the chamber is now completely separate to the action, rather than already part of it like in the lever action, AND you have to move the block.

How are you expecting to load the round from the tube to the chamber?

Glad to hear someone else likes the idea. Once the electronic component is figured out, I don't think it'd be too hard to make guns like that- and if we can make them hold three .357 magnum shots per cartridge, we could probably fit even more rounds into cartridges for smaller calibers, like .32 (not to suggest that .32 is an optimal defense round, but some people might prefer a greater capacity of lighter rounds).

>>33236006
Okay, going with electrevolver guys suggestion down there, how come revolvers haven't become used for ultra-cheap .357 magnumesque caseless ammo?

I mean, we can do black powder (which is technically ceaseless) so why can't we just that a modern caseless round concept and work it into a revolver?
I'd be happy as fuck with a revolver like that. Doubly so if I could use BP conversion cylinders for it as a quick/cheap way of never having ammo shortages.

1/16 gauge shotgun.
That's a gun that fires a cartridge the diameter of a 16 pound lead ball.
How big would that be?
It's just an old ship's cannon, isn't it?
That's probably half the diameter of the projectiles this guy shoots.

Hmm a simplified loading mechanism for grenade launchers. Like instead of breach loading individual shells, why not pump action belt fed M79?

Could be simple enough to make. If only I was a dentist..

Like this. but with obviously corrected dimensions.

BTFO's the hell out of the XM25.

>>33246841

Because caseless is only really a priority for militaries and revolvers have issues in military use.

Seeing black powder manual of arms using modern powder in a gun designed for it would be interesting though.

>>33247168
And is illegal for most, expensive to shoot and bought by no-one.

>>33247395
Because heavy. They weigh half a lb each, and then you need to add the additional weight for the new mechanism to the launcher. And then you have to realize that can't be the soldiers primary so they have to carry it in addition to their actual weapon.

Thats why the XM25 uses 25mm

>>33247395
it would be fun...... IF it was on a technical.
