Improvised (Homemade) Revolver

Notes: This is an example of a crude, but useable revolver that has been turned out by gunsmiths (sometimes amateur), using crude equipment. These weapons were sometimes encountered in Northern Ireland by British troops, but similar weapons have probably been made here and there in the world. The revolver has a crude, heavy, but solid frame, a round, unrifled barrel, and a lumpish cylinder. The weapon has a spring-loaded plunger in the frame below the cylinder to ensure that the rounds line up with the barrel. This revolver could not really even be described as single-action, since the cylinder must be rotated manually. There is no trigger; instead, the spring-loaded hammer is simply drawn back, and then let fly to fire the weapon. .22 Long Rifle rounds are chosen due to their ubiquity, though of course other chamberings are possible; this is merely an example. The Improvised Revolver has a 10% chance of misfiring per shot taken, over and above any chances of misfiring due to catastrophic failure.

Twilight 2000 Notes: This sort of weapon might become more common as time goes by in the Twilight 2000 World.
