A safety on a revolver is important for High Shock situations like rappelling down a Mountain. I know some one who shot himself by accident while rappelling down a mountain, the gun went off in the holster when the trigger bounced.

[@greybayles7955]

Woah, i wouldve never guessed that was possible unless you were carrying a cocked revolver like a maniac. Thats kind of terrifying.

[@MartinCHorowitz]

@@greybayles7955 The shock from rappelling down a mountain caused the hammer to move enough to fire the bullet. Ironically it happened during US forest service training to do a mountain rescue.

[@cgunugc]

@@MartinCHorowitz This safety wouldn't prevent that. You'd need a hammer block safety, like any modern revolver or hammer-fired semiauto; however, this thing's safety only blocks the trigger from moving, letting the hammer roam free.

[@logitimate]

@@cgunugc That's. . . The opposite of true. *The* thing the safety on this gun does is to prevent the hammer from cocking.

[@cgunugc]

@@logitimate Sorry. You're correct; I was wrong. This doesn't have a hammer block safety, but the hammer doesn't "roam free" either. The safety blocks the hammer from coming back, but doesn't stop it going forward and impacting the cartridge if dropped on the hammer.

Let's say that Romania had the option to buy a bunch of Colt 1851 Navy Revolvers instead of these (not cartridge conversions, original cap-and-ball). Would they have been better off with the Colts? I'd say yes, especially if they came with spare cylinders.

[@felixstieger9039]

Yes and no. As a fighting arm no. Spare cylinders are a bad idea in general because they will act like a hand grenade when dropped. Also on a colt you would have to take the barrel of off it to change the cylinder, which is essentially a three hand operation. But as we know ww1 was a war of attrition. Old colts to arm supply clerks would work since they will never fire a shot in anger. Putting them in places not needed to free up real weapons would have worked.

OK but once again this is a very old firearm that though it's kinda crappy,100 yrs on it probably worked OK when it was brand new . Now of course being hand fitted you'd have issues with broken guns but they were also cheap so you just get another one and go back to the fight . It once again is a case of it worked for what they need it to do and used the ammo that they had lots of and in the context of a battle that's more important than if it will stand the test of time .

[@chpet1655]

Yah know the people who made these guns are criminals. They clearly had no scruples just in it for a quick buck who cares if the gun works right ! This was for a martial use and they knew it. Yet they went and used highly questionable metallurgy and let’s face it they knew what they were doing…they cheaped out ! Giving a gun with this poor quality to a soldier is very very dishonourable. Zero respect for this company; forget whatever Eibar handle/name they had (Antonio Erasti ? ) I really hope he had no financial successes after this cause this guy deserved to go out of business.

In cycling, the equivalent is the Bicycle Shaped Object. BSOs are typically sub £200 products sold by supermarkets, toy shops, car parts stores and mail-order-type catalogue retailers. They are often "full-bounce BSOs", which look like they have suspension at both ends, but have no damping and inadequate pivots, so give a rougher ride that if the bike were rigid. Conveniently close to "BSA" who made plenty of good-enough-but-heavy bikes half a century ago.

[@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC]

"product-shaped object" is my term for describing modern products which have had all utility and functional merit painstakingly cost-engineered out of them and replaced with swoosh marks, heavy marketing, and extravagant packaging. I regard the term as the generalized form, though in many of these other forms that people mention, the failings of the item in question were never so deliberate.

[@charlesadams1721]

@@richardsveum8452to be fair the Spanish revolvers I've seen didn't seem to be concerned with such advanced things as lead shaving from an inconsistent cylinder. As to the RG's, there was a guy, a fairly advanced shooter with more than an extensive firearm collection who occasionally came to the range with some interesting and expensive guns (he was a very successful businessman), produced an RG revolver, a large frame model chambered in 44 magnum. It was shot in a Ransom rest with special adapters, using a long lanyard. Still, bystanders (including me) went and hung out on the backside of the concrete block range office or kinda congregated behind cars. Wonder of wonders, it didn' blow up. BTW, this gut was not shy about large handguns, he had the first Automag I eve saw, he bought and show a Coonan .357 mag and had a bolt-actioned handgun, I think a Wichita, in.308. (And I thought my XP-100 in .35 Remington was hot.)

Yup, we were THAT desperate for firearms. And then, in 1916, it got worse. Of course, this thing was only ever used by 2nd line troops, artillery, etc. We were desperate, not idiots. That being said, as a long time Romanian Reenactor, I would carry one as a holster filler.

[@Charstring]

That Antonio Errasti advert at around the 11 minute mark mentions (I think) chamberings for “Vélo-dog, Lebel, Puppy, Browgrand y Browpetit”. So since I googled it now I know that the French had “Velo-dog” revolvers specifically designed for shooting dogs while riding bicycles. The French are weird sometimes.

[@logitimate]

Specifically, for defending yourself against dogs that are trying to attack you while you're riding a bicycle. Worth noting: The Velo-dog cartridge (and original Velo-dog revolver) was introduced by Galand in 1894, only 9 years after the development of the first human rabies vaccine, and *long* before the development of any rabies vaccine for dogs.

I have seen these guns and in fact own one of them, although I doubt is a Romanian one. Most of the people who have one think they are in .32-20. Mine actually has that stamped on it, although I don't know who stamped it, or when. A lot of people who have 8mm French revolvers seem to have bought them thinking they were in .32-20. The only other thing i can say is that the name "Crucero" is associated with quite a few of these guns; I believe mine is stamped with it. Oh yes - I suppose someone else has mentioned it, but there is a modern Romanian postage stamp showing a DAMASCENED revolver of this type. Apparently it was a gift from a Spanish gunmaker to the Romanian king.

[@alt5494]

If only a cunning plan had been implemented to let the German army capture the entire shipment with no ammunition. A little special documentation with a 18% high pressure loading for the cartridge. German's would manufacturer 40,000 rounds, and about 20,000 battlefield accidents.

This thing is strange. I mean back in engineering school at the age of 14 we had to make a paperweight out of steel. It was just to learn sawing, filing and messuring with hand tools ("metal working unplugged"). And all the measurements, every surface, angle and line was checked on beeing flat and straight for your grade on that workpiece. (filing a flat surface so the paperweight doesn't rock on a flat surface but also doesn't get concave isn't that easy. Or free hand filing a 45° angled phase) None of our workpieces looked as crude as this thing (and i would bet we had less experience and not more time to do it). And yet, it was made by professionals not by tennage students and it was made to fire live rounds, not just to keep paper from beeing blown abway by a breeze... Having to fire one with real ammo would kinf od scare the sh... out of me.
