Abstract
A revolver pistol which ejects the spent cartridge after each shot. The gun block is fitted with an open side port. The recoil of the cartridge during firing drives back the hammer and breechblock, with the cartridge ejecting through the open port. The breechblock is spring-biased to return forwards and index the revolver cylinder on the forward stroke, with the hammer remaining in the rear position until released by the trigger mechanism.
Claims2
A revolver gun which ejects each spent cartridge immediately upon being fired, comprising a gun fitted with a revolver cylinder fitted with chambers for holding cartridges,
- first spring-biased means to latch the revolver cylinder in a fixed position,
- second means to rotate the revolver cylinder,
- said first means linked to a breechblock pivotably mounted in said gun so as to release said latch when the breechblock is in a recoil position.
- said second means linked to the breechblock so as to rotate the revolver cylinder when the breechblock returns from the recoil position to a firing position,
- said breechblock pivotably mounted and spring-biased to remain in the firing position except under the recoil forces of a fired cartridge in the revolver cylinder, which fired cartridge serves to rotate the breechblock to the recoil position while the fired cartridge is ejected out of the revolver cylinder.
