Meanwhile we already have irl revolver in .600 Nitro Express, which was also used in Howdah pistols for a century.
It's a revolver, there is no automatics that depend on recoil as well as it's a close quarters weapon that never had any pretensions of being stealthy. Summ it up and you'd see that you needed to go absolutely wild with muzzle break, not add some mechanical system that would defeat whole purpose.
The other thing you should have taken into account is the length, it's too big to be practical. Yep, it's a pity to waste such a round without allowing it at least half a meter to get proper velocity and spin, but once again I repeat - IT'S A REVOLVER! A sidearm. And one of the good ways to lower recoil is to make it a snub or just shorten the barrel. Yep, you'd lose some considerable weight in far front which would worsen recoil handling, but on the other hand you'd have significantly lower recoil to begin with.
And if you cared about optimal perfomance of this rounds, you would have loaded them into a proper rifle. This gun just begs to mention a "dual wielding" principle when main gun and sidearm share the same round. Think of РШ-12(revolver)/АШ-12(assault rifle)/ВКС(sniper rifle) triplex combo. Though yeah, it uses subsonic round. 12.7x55 one Or look up one of those www.shootingtimes.com/ammo/dua…
The main issue I'm worried about is a gas leak between the chamber of the drum and the barrel. Due to users safety in fact, not due to it lowering perfomance. Nagant was the only one, who proposed a solution that was used en masse, but it would complicate the shape of rounds and thus the usage of them in other types of guns, especially if some for of automatics would be involved. Besides that solution was aimed to increase power of the round as revolver was stuck into a 7.62mm caliber by the requirements(so that the same tooling can be used to make barrels of Mosin-Nagant rifles and thus safe money and maximise production for a rather backwards back then country).

All this aside, it looks rather good and well thought through. Good job
Though considering it was posted back in 2013, now it doesn't matter...

super cool! Can I make a 3D model on the basis of this idea? and print off it in 3D?

This is an awesome, excellent firearm which would probably work in real life and even be manageable. But there is a reason in reality (at least at the present time) that it would be impossible to make - the NFA Firearms Law which prevents rifled firearms over .50cal from being produced (except by defense contractors).

Maybe some countries abroad could use it, but until the NFA is repealed it couldn't be made on a wide scale.

But it could quite realistically it could chamber powerful rounds of lesser calibers though - - - heavy rifle loads like the 45-70 or .458 Socom for example - - - and it would be just as powerful as you would hope it to be by the caliber estimation. Both of these rounds are mainstream and their stronger loads can even eclipse a .500s&w.


And there is a rare revolver which is made for 45-70 but its doomed to using low powered loads because it doesn't have near the amount of recoil compensation this one does.

Cool presentation, love the perspective view.
