Great thing about guns is that no matter how old they are, they remain just as deadly so long as they’re maintained. And you can’t get much simpler than a bolt-action.
is a bolt action simpler than a break action?
The break-action is simpler with fewer moving parts, though it does have the disadvantage of lower ammo capacity since it can’t use magazines. Unless you make a cursed revolver rifle, which was tried and didn’t work out so good in practice.
I kinda always wondered why there was no revolver rifle. I remember revolvers being favored for awhile due to jams.
There was a few attempts in the mid 1800s, but they had a sliiiiiight tendency to ignite all of its ammunition at once and injure the user, known as “chain firing”. The ammunition at the time used paper cartridges which could leak gunpowder on the cylinder. By the time metal cartridges started becoming popular in the 1870s, more practical repeating firearms such as lever-action had already made revolver rifles obsolete.
This pic is so striking but the jammer gives me G11 vibes
