    very Firefly-y

  2. Dean Says:

    Just what you need, a weapon that fires at you when you fire at something.

    Nicely steampunked, also.

    Same way they did the automatic ejection on the Striker 12E, really.

    I’ve had one for years – Stryker 12. The Stryker’s gas ejection involves no extra parts. Cylinder gap leakage is directed into the front of the recently fired chamber. This Ruger is a bit smaller though.

    I ran across this on a forum a couple of weeks ago. When I saw the thread title I thought, “Who the frick would be crazy enough to put that time into an SA revolver? Oh, yeah, Jim March.”

    I was rather amused to find out I was right.

    Dude’s unique. I’ll give him that.

    Hmmm. . . . .
    I suspect a confluence of:
    Too much free time
    Too much imagination, and
    Just enough of a tax refund.

    Didn’t actually cost much. Old set of junkyard motorcycle fork tubes was the biggest expense – $20. Yeah, that’s what the silver thing is :). The original screw-on aircraft aluminum cap with a hole in it is still screwed into the end. That, about $10 in various plumbing supplies, some screws, “garage scrap”…:)

    I’ve got the gas-tube routing seriously improved:

    Next step: punch a hole in the recoil shield just left of the hammer, use clip-in spring-loaded tube mags of about 7rd capacity on top of at least five in the cylinder, maybe six depending on how I do the two-piece loading gate. Mag tubes could be swapped out as fast as 1911 mags. Take that bad boy to a steel challenge match, going up against DA wheelguns…”but you’ll be at a disadvantage!”…yeah, not. Not when I get the first 12rds out without a reload, and then fast-swap 7rd or more mags :).

    Oh yeah. Hell yeah. 🙂

    Crap. Find my Flickr account, one of the last pics shows the new gas tube routing. Can’t post links :(.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
