Dchil 829 Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) There is more than one way to load a revolver. I'm not just talking about speed strips, speed loaders and loading individual rounds but possibly a completely different ammo type all together. I'm talking about moon clips.These little buggers allow revolvers, when modified correctly, to chamber rounds that you normally cannot. For example, any of the 9mm family into 38 special and 357 magnum revolvers. any of the 45 auto cartridges (yes it isn't just 45 acp out there) into 45 long colt and 454 Casull revolvers. This however only applies to revolvers with swing out cylinders and top break mechanisms. The idea is to allow the magnum to chamber 9mm rounds with these moon clips. Any future revolvers in a 45 caliber to chamber the 45 acp currently in game and any other 45 semi auto rounds and the same for 9mm in 38/357 magnum firearms. Now hold up for a second. Who uses these stupid things?Jerry Miculek, one of the most well known revolver speed shooters and arguably the best at what he does. He is able to outshoot other competitors running semiautomatic pistols with high magazine capacities in competition with a S&W performance center 627. Look closely at the reloads and unloads. Notice how the casings all come out and stay in the same shape they would be in the cylinder? That means moon clips. The downside to all this is the revolver will now be using the much less powerful 9mm cartridge. But it doubles the available ammo to the user. Now for some problems with the Idea. One revolvers that haven't been made to accept them from factory require machining. They are also hard to load and reload by hand with most people resorting to tools. They warp easily and can cause hangups. Storage, an empty moon clip is a small steel disc, but the game sees them as the same size no matter what. Warping - Have them take very little damage before getting ruined. When they are ruined then this will mean that they have warped beyond use,Loading - I feel that it is an acceptable break from reality to be able to load these by hand. Tools could be found to speed this up but it isn't needed right now.Storage - Loaded moon clips = Same size a speed loaders to the game but it would be nice to be able to stack empty ones.Modifications to revolvers - We can either make cylinders spawn which can be swapped out (rare as hell), assume that the revolver has been machined already or doesn't need it (bollocks, who does that to a python?) or we can add a tool/functionality to a tool which would allow it to clearance the cylinder. This can also be utilized by 357 magnums but the clips are much weaker as they have to be thinner. Normal 357 rounds are usable in these cylinders. Also one thing i have noticed while using the revolver is the fact that it looks like it already uses these clips. However i am unable to go on and get pictures and i have found no video in first person, without the gear screen up whist reloading it.

Dchil 829 Posted March 30, 2014 Neat. Make it relatively rare and i can dig it.IMO it should only be slightly rarer than speed loaders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dchil 829 Posted April 1, 2014 Was my OP concise enough on this that discussion isn't really needed? Wow, that's a first for this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
