Rast & Gasser POV firing 

I'm not a bad boy

A fellow WWI Game Series enjoyer. Always knew you were a man of culture.

Or BF1

@@tomato8933 BF1 features the earlier black powder Gasser 1870

I was a closed beta tester!

That was actually the earlier Gasser 1870. The Rast & Gasser didn't come about until 1898

@@TenaciousTrilobite my mistake

@@curseditem8354 How fucking dare you be mistaken.

that's lit

Can confirm from montenegro 👍

🤣🤣🤣 que bueno,si te quedas sin balas siempre se lo puedes lanzar a la cabeza. Pero el revolver está bien hecho para la época de la que procede.

it also look like if you throw it hard enough it comes back like a boomerang.

It's better than most of the other medium framed European revolvers that were still kicking around at the time. A perfectly adequate sidearm, given how often such a thing was actually used.

@@LN997-i8x And I though the Italian bodeo revolver was powerful.

@@jacobzehner2004 The Bodeo is a bit more powerful, but also a much cruder design with 25% less capacity.

@@LN997-i8x And the Italians try to replace the bodeo with the glisenti but the glisenti was way worse and they perfected the bodeo because it was more powerful.

@Zoomer Stasi beretta they were the only company in Italy that made decent weapons for the Italians in both world wars unlike Breda.

This system was invented in the late 1800s.

Its actually really old revolver design and pretty unpractical ,break action revolvers or just some double action are way more easier to reload in battlefield.

@@XXXXD I can think of some late 19th century-20th century revolvers like the SA scofields, webleys and s&w auto ejectors, I can think of some revolvers with double action, and I guess some of them might have a side-opening cylinder, but as far as history goes, I don’t think it’s that exceptionally outdated in like ww1. Yes, people were adopting automatics, but people forget how unrefined a lot of those designs were with few exceptions. Add the fact that it’s a sidearm and I would still be thankful to have it over some fancy steampunk victorian-art deco era bullshit like the benet-mercie or a webley-fosbery. You’re in a trench, those fancy moving parts gotta go.

Convenient is the last word I was thinking of lol.

It's both convenient and scary tbh.

“Worrying”

I don't understand guys. What's scary about it? You should be absolutely fine if you haven't cocked the hammer.

@@user-he4ef9br7z gun safety

Omg yes I wish Ruger Blackhawk.357 was like this or all SA revolvers

Cylinder, not barrel.

I hate it when I go one click too far when reloading a single-action army. "Well, guess we'll get that one the next time around..."

Pulling the trigger to empty your gun is not the best safety feature

@@ArnoldSchwarz_enigger it's not a safety feature at all

Abadie system at work. It's really cool.

There are a few games that have exactly this type of reload but faster and boy, is that satisfactory

It really is.

There is a hammer disconnect when you open the loading gat

@@UrsineArms the whole thing is a LOADING GAT

it's the Abadie system, a system used in later revolvers before the transition (by most logical designers anyway, looking at you Nagant) to a swing out cylinder.

8mm Gasser was always smokeless. It was adopted with this revolver in 1898, well after the Austro-Hungarians had hopped on the smokeless train

@@TenaciousTrilobite Oops. You are correct.

Dumb pagan

The steyr hahn or m1912 is by far my favorite austro hungarian handgun. Would love to pick one up someday

@@TenaciousTrilobite lmao I actually went to forgotten weapons, so I'm all caught up! Thanks tho! 🫡

I wish they adopted a version with both like the French 1892

@@TenaciousTrilobite You're telling me, 8 shots, and swing out cylinder would be baller

It's only a nightmare if your appreciation of firearms starts after the swing out cylinder. It's really not that difficult to use a loading gate either way.

@@grizzlyblackpowder1960I think he means the pulling of the trigger to rotate the cylinder. I do agree with you, reloading a Single Action revolver can be done with adequate training and practice. With appropriate cartridge pouches I can unload and then reload my single action revolvers in around 8-10 seconds, Total.

8mm Gasser

Yessir

On this specific model of revolver. It was the only one to do so, you can imagine why.

It's the Abadie system, there are a few other revolvers that use it though it's not something you'll see on a modern production gun.

While a fun curiosity, you can understand why it never really caught on or stuck around…

The Abadie system that cycles it when reloading is built into the loading gate, so it really doesn’t even change the part count. I don’t think these revolvers were really any more expensive than the other revolvers in service at that time

Yeah, it deactivates the hammer. Known as the "Abadie" system.

It was a common style of pistol grip popular in Europe, while the Americans preferred the Colt type Pistol grip.

​@@Beuwen_The_Dragon friend when it comes to weapons both edged and firearms I'm always surprised when someone else shares their own information on either subject, I thank you for your response and clearly need to study a little more to add to my own knowledge of both.
