Description
Here is the updated version of my sniper rifle revolver. I've tried to take into account as many issues as I could. I beefed up the stock and bipod and reworked some of the inner workings.irearm - Sniper Rifle Revolver
Caliber - 8x68mm custom reduced taper
Weapon Type - Revolver Rifle
Operation - Double Action
Capacity - 6 Shot Cylinder
Loading - Swing out cylinder (spring action extractor arm)
Scope - 8x
There was some issue with my original choice of tapered ammunition, how it would expand and jam in the cylinder. I have overcome this problem by using a reduced taper on the casing and reworked the extractor. When depressed, it tensions a spring which releases, applying an greater instantaneous force, prying the spent shells from the cylinder.

Much better, man! nice work... you should drawn one for special applications (Military & law enforcement use), as this one seens to be a hunting rifle.

As you said previously Art is Art and trying to tell you that this is wrong from an real world perspective is kind of silly. That being said, I don't mind silly but before we go there I'm very taken by what you have done here and I hope you don't mind but I actually prefer the simple elegance of your original concept so please allow me to "defend" it if you will. I'm not an artists but I am a shooter and sometime gun smith so take this for what it's worth.
1. The caliber 7.62 NATO or what civilians call 308. this is the most common used sniper round in the western world and has an effective range of 800 - 1,000 meters.
2. The wood stock and recoil. The most common sniper rifle for military and police in the us is the Remington 700. Take a look at one. Simple bolt action with no springs, no shock absorbers, just a rifle. Heck 90% are plastic stocks. These reduce weight but that also means less absorption of recoil and more transferred to the shooter. One of your critics brings up the Barrett but one must wonder if he has actually shot one of these because if he had he would know that one of the best and most effective devices for reducing recoil on that rifle is the muzzle break and it looks like you have a very good sized muzzle break there.
2.2 I guess I had also just assumed that the wood stock was actually a laminate wood stock. That is where they take a whole bunch of thin layers of wood and glue them together with an epoxy to form what looks like wood, has a very cool grain patters an is almost as strong as steel.
2.3 I had also assumed that if recoil was still an issue that you would have just bored out a tube in the stock and placed a carbon fiber filler tube in it as a shock absorber like they do on the high end target rifles. But what do I know.
3. lost compression from the revolver. What if it was a semi auto would they be complaining about the lost gas from the gas block? Or what about from the muzzle break? Seriously I look at this as a non issue BUT if you need a solution there is an easy one. I have seen revolvers where the cylinder actually moves forward to mate with the barrel when the trigger is pulled and I guess I just again assumed that this rifle did just that.
4. Lack of barrel support. Well this is obvious. The part of the stock at the front is actually an open loop that doesn't even touch the barrel and is simply there for aesthetics. Like any good long range gun this barrel is "free floated" and only touches the gun where it is mounted to the receiver. I could go on and on about barrel whip and heat build up and all that but I'm sure they already know that. But as I said, once the barrel leaves the receiver the stock should not touch it. At least on a target/sniper rifle.
My only thoughts are that I would prefer this in 30-06. 30-06 is actually a slightly better round then 308. But the real reason is that it has a connotation of being a bit of an "old west" gun and that would just add to the romance of a revolver based rifle. Like this is some sort of CowboyPunk sniper rifle. The only thing that would make that better is if you changed the handguard into a lever action but I'm not saying that you should I like it perfectly as is. Or better yet as was. In you prior rev it has the deadly look of a rapier and lets be honest that is what sniper rifle is.
A couple of things to look into maybe... articulated stock like Magpul uses [link]
And a real revolver rifle, just for inspiration... [link]
Oh and the one thing that every rifle I've seen on here is missing.... Sling Mounts. No one carries a rifle into the field without a sling.

I really like the concept of a sniper rifle revolver, and this one is very well designed. However, I think the weapon would look even better if it were a little more chunky and angular, maybe with a more futuristic look.

Hi there. I'm a huge fan of both revolvers and sniper rifles, so when I saw this design I just fell in love with it!
Out of boredom, I started designing some mechanisms that would work on a real life version of this weapon. I also set about trying to identify and eliminate any potential design flaws that may limit the weapon's performance, reliability or durability in real life. So far, the things I have considered, and in some cases designed are:
- Cylinder capable of holding and ejecting 6 rimless bottlenecked cartridges (.338 Lapua Magnum), either with or without moon clips.
- Airtight seal between the cylinder and barrel (cylinder pushes forwards into the barrel when firing to prevent gas escaping, using a similar method to the old Nagant revolvers). This increases power, accuracy, and gives the ability to be silenced if desired.
- Better barrel support. (Current design could flex, and in the worst case scenario the stock could crack)
- I'm considering trying to design a mechanism to make it semi-automatic. If not, I'd consider exposing the hammer so that it can be cocked into single action if desired.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing all this is because I'm very interested in making a 3D model of it, and putting it in to some games such as Garry's Mod and Counter-Strike. It seems that if I am going to create a weapon for a game, then I have to design every little inner working so that I am sure it would work in reality!
I would love it if you are interested in me modelling this! If you are, any extra information you have about this weapon would be greatly appreciated! I can PM you my basic designs for the inner workings of the new cylinder if you wish, too!

I definitely see a future for this weapon as almost a hunting rifle.

hey man, I believe there's a debt on inspiration for this owed to my "Shrike" rifle

I know the operation is different, but I'd appreciate credit for the lines of the stock, pls.

Actually, I took the grip design from the Accuracy International L115A3 and simply separated the grip from the butt. I can see how you thought I stole your idea though.

hmm... so are you saying you never saw my rifle, before you made this?

No, I saying I didn't look at your rifle to draw this.

Love it, looks much beefier now.
The straight trigger 'could' still be an issue but that's going to be completely personal preference of the user.
Great job ^.^
