Yes they can jamb. Like the chauchat(Raygun you knew this was coming), in perfect condicitons it is fine but with more working parks you have more things to screw up. They found with the Fosbery this happened in the trenches of WW1. The dirt and grime got into everything and the open nature of a revolver as opposed to a browning semi-auto just suck it in.

On another gun route, I was playing F.E.A.R. again the other day, and was thinking of a gun somewhat along the line of the Penetrator, but instead of launching spikes, which would be fun in itself, it would fire barrett type .50 cal rounds.
In SR the barrett is a big gun, like it is in real life, but would it be possible, given the tech of SR4 to make it a shorter barrel, but decrease its recoil by adding a foregrip, shoulder stock reinforcement and, I dunno a rating 3-4 type gas vent? Kinda cheestastic, but in this case, I'm thinking more of an intellectual exercise rather than trying to fit it in a game. |

Is the penetrator fully automatic? If not there's no reason for a Gas Vent. Just talk your GM into letting you use a Jesus Pistol

HOLY MOTHER OF FUCKER! A .50 BMG round in a PISTOL?! I'm no gun expert, but I've heard that's DEADLY stuff. Probably a single shot weapon only there, but you wouldn't need more than that to turn someone into spraypaint... |

Makes me think of that pistol in Fallout 2 that had stats as a sniper rifle and hit like a brick in close range...pretty crazy

Heh, oddly that's somewhere around the original idea that made me start the thread. I was looking up on the net to see if I could find a real world equivalent of that pistol in fallout 2 that you could cut down from an assault rifle, then got sidetracked by autorevolvers :) And the world goes round and round.

Oh come now, don't be foolish. Have you completely forgotten about the 16" naval gun hidden inside a cigarette? That's, like, the most basic piece of equipment you can have! :sarcasm: |

Yeah, my titanium teeth lacing were put in by a disreputable street dentist. I suppose I'll spend the rest of my days supporting the apple sauce industry

dumbest gun I've ever seen? .50 magnum with a 2 inch barrel. Just happily sitting on the hself in my favorite gun store. I mean jeez, it's great if you're mugged by a hump backed whale but otherwise?

Or you'll miss, and you won't be able to get off a second shot because the first one broke your wrist.

I saw a man in my very town murdered by a humpback whale. You need to be ready for when they come at you, 'cause they will.

sure, they gotta pay for the krill somehow.
Seriously, my S&W give my sinus' a pain when I fire magums rounds and that's just .357. I don'tr want to think what a .50 would feel like. |

Ooo, love the quote: "for when the .500 S&W is just not enough".
Aheh. The .500 S&W is intended for either target shooting, or as a sidearm for big game hunting (like pachyderms). Even then, it's still a novelty. This is an ED-compensation gun. Pure and simple. :| There's absolutely nothing practical about killing someone, overpenetrating enough to punch a hole through a car or several other people, and shattering your wrist. Edit: And don't talk to me about barrel-climb. |

The .357 was big with game hunters like T Roosevelt as a weapon of last resort. I find it wonderfully accurate when loaded with .38 specials. BUT a .50 magnum with a way short barrel? Sure what you hit, you vaporize but I wouldn't want to bet my life of the accuracy.

Or being able to make a follow-up shot.
Hey, Snow Fox, how've things been while I've been gone (I've GOT to stop these year-long absences)? |

Yeah, .223 pistol, 5 round clip. I was playing Fallout 2 this afternoon. So THATS over kill. You could park small cars in the tempary cavity that would leave. |

To Hell with the temporary cavity - The permanent one will still be a missing chunk.

You can get several handgun calibers which would be more lethal from a pistol than .223 Remington. With the right ammunition, anything from around .454 Casull level on up. [I figured you weren't referring to it with the temporary cavity thing, but I thought I'd mention that, what with all the times the .223 Pistol has come up in various places as some kind of überweapon.]
I suppose if you're willing to trade in concealability, ease of handling and the possibility of follow-up shots for lethality, a .50 BMG handgun would make perfect sense. |

Sorry, my brain was still on that .50 cal monstrosity.
A pistol chambered in .223 (which is a 5.56x45mm NATO, btw) isn't that impressive, though the wound profile would possibly be a gross sight. |
