So I've been playing a lot of the videogame Borderlands, and there's this type of rifle, commonly used as a "sniper rifle". I've thought quite a bit on how I could make it into a real rifle. It runs on a revolver system, revolving via fore-arm pump. Usually, long wheel guns don't work out (take the Colt 1855 10 gauge shotgun, for example.), with the cylinder gap and all. I have thought about a way to work around that, either by basing off the Nagant 1895 revolver, using the gas-seal technique, or by grooves in the cylinder used by the fore-arm, locking the cylinder to the barrel, preventing escaping gas. The way the cylinder opens for reloading is rather unusual, swinging out from the front on the z-axis, rotating about 40-50 degrees. I could use some ideas on what cartridges to use, but rimmed cartridges seem like the best option. Cartridges like 30-30, 7.62x54R, and .303 Brit. I've taken screenshots of some examples, although if I were to put it into production, it will look very different than what the in-game examples look like.
