i've seen similar things on the internet. i think it's just a reloader's wildcat joke. kinda like a jackalope for hunters.

.45 short

you get the stopping powah of 45 and the ammo capacity of 9mm

What would the chamber look like?

>>34963444
The only thing i could think of would be some sort of trapdoor pistor or carbine lol

>>34963444

What if it's a Hi Low system and doesn't need a strongly supporting chamber?

I'm now super fucking curious how this could work. I know it's a joke cartridge that no gun would ever be chambered in. I don't care.

probably something like this

cartridges like that only works without the rim, its just a reloader joke.

however. for a modern gun using a similar rimless cartridge, you could have the chamber in the bolt, and have it work like modern autocannons, firing while the bolt is traveling forwards in the tube. allowing you to have a blowback operated lightweight firearm, that fires oversized bullets

burnsides were .54 cal

>>34963153
where do you live op?

>>34963444

Would have to be a two piece chamber to support the skinny powder end or at the least it would expand every cartridge fired and at the worst catastrophic boom

It is an interesting bullet though
