The Next Phase: 3D Printed Imura Revolver Hybrid Development - The Truth About Guns

The Next Phase: 3D Printed Imura Revolver Hybrid Development - The Truth About Guns: "The Next Phase: 3D Printed Imura Revolver Hybrid Development
By Dean Weingarten on September 15, 2014

An innovative 3D-printed hybrid revolver design is being worked on as tribute to 3D printing’s first martyr,  Yoshito Imura. Imura was arrested for printing some plastic, blank-firing guns in Japan. The new design would fire from the bottom of the cylinder, as did the original blank-firing plastic gun.  The new revolver has hybrid features, including a steel barrel liner and chamber sleeves . . .



As seen in this computer image of the developing design, the revolver is meant to be double action; that is, one pull of the trigger will rotate the cylinder, cock the striker and release it, firing the charge, whether it’s cap and ball, blank cartridge, or conventional round.
