Is this a good method to reload an auto-revolver?

From a technical standpoint.

Yes

I mean, some people think you should bullets in it, but whatever. You do you, man.

it's not a auto revolver.

It is functional ...up to the certain point.

However, if the gunpowder load gets too big/hot, the frame will not be able to take it.

I actually once had a conversation with a certified gunsmith/CNC machinist, and he said that the frame of a top-break revolver would not be able to take the punishment of the strong loads like .357 mag.

It was used up to Webley models, and yes, those guns have an impressive caliber... but their gunpowder loads are actually fairly mild.

This is the reason why revolver manufacturers developed the newer J, K, L etc. frames. To be able to withstand higher stress loads without breaking.

Don't the Russians have a top-break .357 though?

No, stupid weeb

continuation

See how .455 Webley caliber is THICK AS FUCK (it being developed to be used in colonial wars and intended as "man-stopper" against some big Zulu mofo) ...but it really doesn't have much in the way of gunpowder.

In comparison, even .357 mag has LOADS more in powder-to-bullet ratio. So it actually has higher impact value. The problem was, old-timey revolvers could not handle such powers. The metal fatigue would quickly ruin the gun and hinges and locking systems would get bust out real fast. Possibly even with first bullet.

So they needed new, stronger frames if they wanted stronger loads in their cartridges. The top-breaking frame simply can not handle the stresses involved.

The top-breaking system IS perfectly valid AND fast way to reload a gun. But it limits the ammunition choises to weaker loads.

It's a clip from when he ran out of bullets.

Modern made uberti Smith and Wesson top break repros can handle a decently warm load. Handloads of 255 grain bullets going 870-885 fps

I haven't heard of any such. Maybe they do?

Russians have a tendency to just try every possible combination of designs, calibers, functionalities without much regard as to "will this blow up in user's face?". Because it will be Dmitri and Oleg that will do the testing, and they have plenty more men for that.

Theoretically you COULD do a .357MAG top-breaking revolver, but it would probably end up either
a) a gun that will have very limited life-span as the strong loads cause the joints of the gun become unreliable after a few hundred shots or
b) it would have to be made out of exceedingly high-quality special steel that would raise the cost of the gun to "really not worth the cost" -range. Think like a revolver that costs 3000 USD to manufacture. Might work, but not worth it.

What about raising the quality of the metal used in the top-breaking frame?

see section b)

It might be doable, but why would you spend thousands of dollars in manufacturing costs, if the end result is just ...a nifty alternative way of reloading?

Side-breaking frames will do the work just as fine, just as fast. And cost only a fraction. And they can be made from lesser-quality metals.

There was the MP412 REX but never made it to market do to import bans.

> just as fast
That's false.
Also a 6 o'clock barrel revolver would make more sense as a break open as the pressure zone is next to a stronger point where there is more metal.

I concur. Side-breaking doesn't have the advantage of simple gravity as a factor. A top-breaking revolver will load faster, because it's easier to get multiple bullets in simultaneously.

Ok, fine, granted... top-breaking might be MARGINALLY faster to reload in theory. But that margin is so small that individual skill-levels will affect the outcome in MORE significant ways than the mechanics of reload.

If you want fast reload, get a magazine-fed pistol. Or a lighter-load revolver like the good old Webley.
Against human targets at pistol range, the old-timey Webley is PERFECTLY adequate nig... man-stopper. So if you absolutely want a revolver with lightning-fast reload, oldie is the goldie. You DON'T NEED the extended range or increased firepower of magnum rounds for that kind of highly-specific circumstances.

But if you DO want greater range AND higher firepower of .MAG rounds, side-breaking ones will offer you a fine and trust-worthy selection of cheap revolvers. No need to re-invent the wheel-gun.

And remember, reloading only comes an issue if you can not solve your problems with six, well-placed shots. And if you can't solve the situation with six shots... chances are you won't be solving it at all.

>MARGINALLY faster
To reload a top break you have three motions, the breaking open, then the placement of ammunition and closing, a side break has 4 motions, opening, ejecting, reloading and closing. You also have the advantage of greater freedom of movement when doing so thus helping a less trained user.
>Against human targets
Why are you assuming self defense use?
Nobody is going to use a Webley or a high end side open for self defense unless they have more money than sense.
How many people use a Mateba as a EDC gun?
Was the Mateba intended as a EDC gun?
A break open revolver with a 6 o'clock barrel(provided with sufficient quality in manufacturing) would make for a very good target and just general sporting use gun and there is no need for it to do much more.

Why do people like this faggot? He never kills anyone in the show and is a giant fucking pussy.

>Animeonlys
Lulz

He killed legato

MpRex412

No he didn't
He probably didn't kill anyone in your weeb novel either

Where is your god now fag?

Uh yes he did, under extreme duress.

Squeezed the trigger, shot him right in the head....due to the pressure of having his friends in danger and Legato insulting Vash's dead GF.

>"Rem Saverem, a woman who could only pretend her logic made sense."

That pretty much sent Vash into a pretty intense rage.

He was honoring the memory of his beloved, deceased GF. He believed if he committed murder, he would be betraying her pacifist convictions.

In fairness though, if you're going Full Pacifist, you really do need to wield a TON of non-lethal arms. Inexplicably, Vash does not carry any weapon designed NOT to kill. He could have easily had heavy tasers, sick-sticks, a spray bottle with a shampoo/water mixture inside (I don't care how much people spray themselves with mace to become immune, there's no way you can withstand the burning sensation of shampoo in your eyes. It absolutely hurts with some brands), etc.

Yeah, I know I'm evil for weaponizing the evil that is shampoo, lol.

>Arguing with an animeonly troll
Don't bother. You argue, he wins.

I'm just saying Vash shot Legato, which is true. You can't lose if it happened in canon.

"The Anderson Wheeler Mark VII is the first revolver to be made in the United Kingdom ever since the year 1983, and will be tentatively made available at a starting price of £6,500.00 (€8,245.00, or US$9313,90), excluding VAT."

Where is my god?
Right there around "over 8000 dollars" -level.

You're new to the internet, huh? Trolls argue to argue, they start shit to see shit-flinging. You ignore him and he gets bored and fucks off.

I need to fork up 60 billion double dollars.
