If you could invent/design your dream gun, what would it be?

[CamoDeafie]

On a more serious note... an 18.5" barreled, rotating barrels version of this shotgun might be a hoot


If I remember correctly, it used a double action revolver style firing pin plate to shoot each of the 8 shotshells in order...

That's about as good as that sort of configuration is going to get.

It could be better is what I'm saying. How, I'm not sure but we'll know it when we see it

Edit, maybe based on Savage 99 form factor?

It doesn't quite look right/good, ya know what i'm saying?

The Lewis Gun concept, shrunk down to carbine size, chambered in .44 Magnum, and barrel/cooling system replaced with an integral silencer. Perhaps put another way, an American A180 on steroids. I'd find that quite corking!

Is there an echo?

I have no ideas for rifles that are better than that!

 

[Desoto]

I'd love to see a .410 variant of the C96 rifle. I'd go classy with heavy checkering, curved butt plate and an ebony tipped schnabel forend.

I don't know what happened there...went to edit and it decided to post a second time.

Just in case my point didn't get across the first time, I guess!

People don't want to pay scandium/titanium money for a rimfire, I imagine. Especially when there's no need for the added strength.

It's not the strength, it is the weight. A fully steel revolver will be stronger than a scandium/titanium revolver.

The Taurus .17 HMR revolver weighs 3#, it could weigh 2# and be just fine.

With the added bonus of the light weight making it cheaper to ship back for repair!

For the same weight, Aluminum, titanium/scandium things will be stronger than steel... but thats only taking the weight. For the same relative strength, aluminum, or titanium/scandium can be lighter, depending on the type of strength

Edit, that said, there's still no aluminum/titanium/scandium firearm barrels

.38 j frames have an aluminum frame, the .357 j frames are scandium. It's for strength over aluminum only and it carries a premium nobody wants to pay. That's it. You can find aluminum frame .22 revolvers easy enough. They're light.

Ah, Billy Mays, of Oxy-Clean fame. I remember when he died…. A bunch of years ago. Then one night, er, early morning, I here "Billy Mays here for Mighty Putty…"

Seems his estate has sold rights to some of his products and sold him along with them as spokesman. The man is hawking goods from beyond the grave…

 

[Stomper]

This….


or preferably this…

Yea, unscrew that bulbous thing off the barrel and it will be much better.

Quite frankly I don't have a problem with its appearance - I mean it ain't a Browning BLR but look at some of the other abominations being shown or described.
