For a long time my good friends bumpus, and Nova Hawk have been insisting that I work on making a proper revolver.
I also want to give a big thank you to all my new friends over at Brass Goggles for giving me advice as I went along.
I had taking my inspiration from the PPC Wesson, and from the hit series Firefly, all I needed was the 'right' piece for the chamber. I found this piece a mere 7 days ago, and in that time I have designed and fabricated the following prop. I was at work all last week, so the max number of hours I could have spent on this was about 15-20 hours.
The Quasi-Dimensional Air Displacing Revolver works on what is considered a not fully understood fringe technology, the actual chamber is a found piece of equipment with no reference to where it came from. After many tests and experiments it was found that the chamber would randomly shift matter from one place to another, the outer of the weapon was fabricated to contain and control this strange phenomena.
The Revolver will shift every thing in its path forwards by 2.3784 mm, creating a clean cut unmatched by any other tool or weapon. The range of the device is limited by rotating the two sections of the chamber, the longer the range the narrower the spread.

My question is where the heck do you get corner dowel rods? I would love to have a few dozen of those workshop for when I don't feel like belt sanding something to perfection.
THE PERSIANS ARE ADVANCING!..blah blah blah.. TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!!!
nice instructable.:D
Any chance of getting templates for the cardstock?
Except mine is the rare shampoo-bottle variant
also, if it moves EVERYTHING 2 mm forward (in the 'bullets' path, that is) would it not also pull the matter behind the barrel? double edged sword indeed. perhaps a static induceing micro feild..... oh wait, those havent been invented yet. darn.
(this is my sence of humor typeing....)
