>stupid idea
>why doesn't anyone do it?
What's stopping you user, make it happen and try and sell it.

Why even have a revolver at that point?

>Why don't people make manual action guns automatic? It's not like you can buy a different gun for that

Have you ever looked what's under the grip?

A thread died for this

not OP, but I kinda want an electric revolver.
Like imagine if the trigger was a dynamo...

>use an electric motor
look up mateba auto revolver, it's already been done and it didn't need batteries.

>bumping threads you don't like
All the advantages of a revolver are retained, just with a SA trigger.
Existing automatic revolvers are rare and expensive.
Not much under the Rhinos grip.
Too complex and expensive. An electric revolver wouldn't need batteries if designed well, if it failed you'd just fire it DA.

>Existing automatic revolvers are rare and expensive.
And your electric bullshit isnt?
If you're gonna go electric don't even bother with a hammer. Just have a solenoid hit the primer directly.

>An electric revolver
people buy revolvers for stopping power and reliability, anything electric is not going to as reliable as a traditional revolver. And sometimes "if it failed" means you get eaten by a bear.

>a battery and small electric motor are expensive
It's not 1960 anymore you know.
>Just have a solenoid hit the primer directly.
Sure, but that's difficult to fire in DA should the battery or electronics fail, and I'd imagine it's more bulky. That's why I think a system based on existing designs would be better.
>And sometimes "if it failed" means you get eaten by a bear.
You could try reading the whole sentence before trying to argue against it.

Yeah, not much room for a fucking battery at all retard. Don't tell me a watch battery is going to power your motor to turn the cylinder.

>You could try reading the whole sentence before trying to argue against it.
Your talking about an electric revolver, it would have to use servos which lock in place when not powered, so no you couldn't just fire it since your hammer would be locked as well.

Technically illegal in the US. Would go against ATF ruling for "electric" triggers.

Because we achieve this mechanically by self loaders? Stop over complicating your shit antiquated design so you still feel relevant for your shit opinions.

>electronic guns
retarded idea

The motor is only touching the hammer when cocking it, otherwise its lever is spun out of the way. So if it fails it isn't interfering with anything.
Only ATF rulings I can find for that relate to trying to simulate full auto. Source?

>what is another point of failure

>It's not 1960 anymore you know.
Cool, point me to where I can buy your revolver for cheap then.
Point is that it's a silly niche item so OFC it's going to be expensive--not because electric motors are expensive, but because it will never be produced in enough volume to make it cost effective.

nothing illegal about electric triggers. the failed Remington EtronX system had it. So do many current pistols and rifles used for Olympic style target shooting. I think some Biathlon-type rifles use it too.

>QTATSTA: Questions That Are Too Stupid To Ask

I cant remember the name of it, the webm of it is always being posted on here, there is already a revolver that works like a semi auto, it runs on a slide that cock the hammer and rotates the cylinder too when fired.
