The main inhibitor of revolver rifles is flash or even lead from the front of the cylinder harming a shooter's forearm. I started drawing up a design for a top breaking rifle firing from the lower cylinder, which I still think would be kind of cool, but I just recently had a major "duh!", an epiphany of how easy it could be to make a safe revolver rifle.

Just design a forearm to pivot or slide ahead of the action and swing up around the cylinder, covering it, protecting the shooter. There would be some metal shield inside to be cleaned of soot and lead periodically. Then I thought "Oh, this is just making it more complicated" Then it hit me. Just make the cylinder swing out with the motion of the forearm. It makes so much sense I can't believe no one's ever done it yet. Maybe I've found the secret that someone's gonna now steal and patent and never remember a college bum known as BattleRifleG3. Or maybe I'm on crack.

What do you think?
