None of my weapon modeling endeavors is complete without a turntable, so there you go. In the past, it would be made in Flash and interactive. Now it needs to be made into a regular video and hosted externally. But the upside is that I can crank the resolution as high as I want, and never worry about quality settings.
If you wish to comment, please do it here! I'm not using YT for much more than hosting these clips, so if you comment there it might get overlooked.

I'm not too privvy as to how useful or reliable revolver rifles are, but I always find them really cool.
(I think this especially comes from how old revolvers are: the first mass-produced revolver was the Colt Paterson revolver, developed in 1835, while a number of the first 'revolver' firearms were invented in the 15th and 16th centuries)

I worked security at Colt for three years in the late 1970s; I was on a first-name basis with the company historian (whose name I've forgotten after more than 40 years). The advantage of Colt's revolver was the cylinder locking up as cocking it rotated the next charge into battery. Patersons? One in good shape (and with spotless provenance) can sell for over $1,000,000 USD.
Winchester was making rifles and started constructing revolvers. Colt produced a number of revolving rifles. The two companies negotiated a 'gentlemen's agreement' to stick to their core businesses.
One problem with revolving rifles is the gap between the cylinder and the forcing cone in the frame tends to bleed pressure off after ignition. It's not a big problem but the loss of pressure and velocity negates some of the gains of the longer rifle barrel.
But what do I know?
