for my film the sky trembles and the earth is afraid and the two eyes are not brothers , i wanted to move among different realms of reality—storytelling , songs , observation of a film being made , fiction—so that , in the end , the viewer is uncertain about where the fiction begins and ends . the films in this series fall generally into two camps : one , the observational documentary ; the other , a fictional recreation of a film set or filmmaker . what ties them all together is that they each show the darker side of filmmaking and its repercussions . i’m interested in the question of why filmmakers want to expose the dark side of filmmaking . there is something perversely compelling about seeing someone who is a mirror version of yourself being taken down a road of obsession and disaster , finding what at the end ?
soul survivor is not the film . i remember seeing sole survivor at the time it was shown on tv in the 70 ' s and was disappointed that it wasn ' t the film i remembered . the film as i remember was in black and white , my parents only had colour tvs , and only at the end of the film the crew realised they were dead . no scenes of helicopters and no scenes of rescue .
not long ago , as i was clicking through television stations in my study , i caught the tail - end of an ad on the syfy channel which stopped my channel surfing and made me laugh . it showed a space capsule crashing through the ceiling of a university classroom into a gigantic jack - in - the - box , startling some student insurance agents as their farmers insurance professor stood by , unphased . “obscure space junk falling from the sky ? we cover that . ”

the movie had a fantastic soundtrack that really added to the texture of the movie , especially toward the end of the film .
ok all , definitive answer time as i have been obsessed with this film for years . the film is indeed sole survivor a 1970 tv movie . the reason why the difficulty in identifying it is that there are two versions of the film . the original tv american movie had the survivors knowing they were ghosts and haunting the survivor . the film was released in europe to the cinemas in 71 , and was re - edited so the crew did not know they were dead , thus changing the entire aspect of the film . love both versions and have a very grainy vhs copy of the bbc in about ' 82 , hope this helps paul

i ' m curious , what makes you so certain that the movie is called catch 22 . according to the vastness that is the internet , no film exists with that name , other than the ' wrong ' ones we know about .
well , having posted this query . . . and not having seen sole survivor ( or not ) i would like to thank all those looking in and who have answered my query but i still think that the answer is buried under the plane . what is driving me mad now is that i also believe it is referred to in another film , mid 80 ' s possibly , where someone says , when seeing a movie on black and white tv , ' hey , i remember this . . . the guy is buried under the tail of the plane . ' so is this a case where the film is actually sole survivor , but the on - screen reference has sown a seed that is making us all think we have seen the film . . . but with a different ending ?
if anyone says its the film ' sole survivor ' again i ' ll either shoot myself or kill the wife ! its not the film ' sole survivor ' ! ! my family had a colour tv and that film was in black & white . the search goes on : = (

the film in question isn ' t
the survivor
( the film of the james herbert book ) . the plot for the survivor was that one man survives a plane crash ( i think totally unharmed ) and in his struggle to come to terms with this uncovers the fact that the plane was sabotaged / blown up . the twist is that he didn ' t survive . he is a manifestation of the will of all the lost souls and as soon as the truth is reveals he dies .
wow ! can ' t believe i ' ve found this thread , i ' ve wondered about this film for years . there are definitely two different films being discussed here , mind you , and the original answer to the question posed is not sole survivor . i can remember watching this film and i can also remember what it ' s called . there is a very good reason why no one can find it in any database and that ' s because it shares the name of a very famous film which will dominate any internet search results . the film is called catch 22 , not to be confused by the famous 1970 film of the same name . saw it listed sometime back so settled down to watch . of course it was the 1970 film i was watching . disappointment . hope this helps .

it is not surprising to learn that launch nations are insured for damage claims , although like any insurance policy , there are loopholes . famously , the folks of esperanza , a tiny town in northern australia , finally had to resort to sending nasa a ticket for “littering” when in 1979 , parts of the skylab space station crashed into their township .

i too have been trying to find this film for years - and am still confused ! i agree entirely with those that say there were no survivors , and particularly with what ray mitcham says - that is spot on . thing is i think the title was flight of the phoenix , but obviously not the film with jimmy stewart in , maybe a made for tv film with the same name ? but also - not an episode of anything , it was a full length flm . so - anyone out there know about the film ray and i are talking about !

web site ) however the film we are trying to find had no survivors . not a sole survivor . the film was about a crew who had all been killed in the crash and were all unknowingly ghosts around the plane . at the end of the film , all the ghosts had gone due to all the bodies being found . it certainly wasn ' t
sole survivor
.
an american agent is assigned to track down a renegade soviet spy who is building an atomic device in los angeles and plans to destroy the city with it .
another voice here confirming that sole survivor is not the film that many of us are seeking . i ordered that and watched it this afternoon , and , good as it is , it isn ' t the film in which the characters gradually realise they are dead as their bodies are found . the two films are so similar , though , it ' s seems likely that they are based on the same root story .
although the film ' s plot led you to believe that jason was the returning maniacal , homicidal killer , most of the film ' s murders ( there were 22 total deaths ) were committed by a ' jason ' copy - cat - paramedic roy burns ( dick wieand ) , who sliced , stabbed and spiked seventeen ( 17 ) individuals throughout the film .

one night stand is a 1997 drama film by british director mike figgis . the first draft of the screenplay was written by joe eszterhas , who had his name removed from the project following figgis ' rewrite . in the final scene of the film , the two couples have dinner together and from an audience point of view , there are no clues as to which person is with until they leave the restaurant . starring wesley snipes , nastassja kinski , kyle maclachlan and ming - na , the film is loosely based around the death of their friend , charlie played by robert downey jr . and how a one night stand with a stranger can unbalance the strongest of relationships .
well , ive just watched ' sole survivor ' on dvd . its the one with william shatner playing an air force crash investigator . in this film it is clear that the crew know they are ghosts right at the start , and that its been seventeen years since the crash . the film i remember has the whole crew ( no survivors ) believing that they are still alive . it doesn ' t come to light that they are all dead until right at the end of the film when a helicopter turns up at the crash site and freaks the crew out ( no helicopters in general service at the time of the crash ) and the helicopter crew cant see the ( dead ) crewmen . there is a scene in sole survivor with a helicopter but this is half way into the film , long after the plane wreck has been found , and not the initial discovery .
the movie i ' m trying to find the name of is airliner crashes at airport and the pilot walks away from the crash in a daze . then end of the movie he is found strapped in his seat in the cockpit .
i remember the film and have been trying to find the name of the film for years . i don ' t believe it to be sole survivor , the film was clearly a sixties or even fifties movie . the crew of the doomed plane crash landed in the desert , all the crew appeared to have survived the crash , trying to make the best of it and await for their rescue , when it arrives they are discovered dead in and around the wreckage , and then one by one disappear ; a bit like the film really . i would to see it again though .

amazing that this film impacted so many of you as it did me ! i was 13 in 1979 when i saw this movie and fixated by films at the time . that year i carefully logged every film i saw , on what date , i even gave it its own critique . my late father kept this ' log ' of mine in his loft until he died last year . i never ever forgot that movie and have spent the last 30yrs asking friends , family video dvd stores etc etc if they know it ! i can however confirm with absolute truth that the film was called soul survivor and was made in 1970 shown on uk tv in 1979 . it was about the crew of a us ww11 airplane crashing into the desert and in short never realising they had died until the modern day ' rescue ' team arrive at the crash site . it was sad , intense , exciting , magical and for a 13yr old it left a memory of joy and sadness and a feeling of ' who knows ' . i loved it and wish i could see it again to see if it truly is a great film or if you have to 13 to be wowed by it !

a fair question , paul , and one i ' ve been expecting . this film has had quite an effect on those that have seen it , i think a quick glance above confirms that . the fact that the vast majority can ' t remember the title is curious , i grant you , but the reason i am 100 % sure is that i can remember watching the film and i can also remember the title . just because i can ( and those above can ' t ) doesn ' t make me wrong . in addition , two other independent subscribers are suggesting that catch 22 is correct . there is no doubt ! it would now be most helpful , if we could just find the film . . .
in the spring of 1979 , a small - budget movie with a somewhat corny - sounding name was released in just a handful of theaters in new york and los angeles , only to be pulled a few days later due to concerns that audiences would riot . based ( loosely ) on a . . .
i can confirm the film is not sole / soul survivor . the original black and white film was shown in the uk pre 1968 and followed a different plot to sole survivour . the b52 and crew crash land in the desert , try to walk away but always return , try to fix the plane , then start to disappear slowly . eventualy the remaining crew think they are rescued . however the rescue party find the remaining bodies and bury the surviours - who all disappear . it is not sole survior
one of the most noticeable elements in any film is the sudden or memorable appearance of one of the main characters for the first time . often , film entrances are not very extraordinary , but now and again , there are some that are very spectacular and skilfully executed . film scarlet megan fox is no exception to the rule as she makes her opening appearance at an after party . unable to make it across to her publicist who waits on the opposite side of the terrace , she decides that the best way would be via the swimming pool and so gracefully slips fully - clothed into the water , to the astonishment of the other guests .
thank you one and all ! i ' ve been trying to remember the name of this film for 20 years ! have now checked ' sole survivor ' on imdb and it is the right title . excellent !
for the film ' s title number , in which students spill out of the city ' s high school for performing arts and perform an impromptu dance routine among midtown traffic , the filmmakers arranged with the mayor ' s office to close 46th street for several days in the summer of 1979 . the actual performing arts school building which was on the left side of the street was not used in the film after the school board read the script and felt that the bad language would reflect badly on the school . in the end , the filmmakers had tro settle with a decommissioned church on the right side of 46th street . as the irene cara song was not complete , the dancers had to dance to a pointer sisters song inside . the song was later replaced in post production .
mika works as a nurse by day ; by night she entertains covetous men at a girls’ bar . shinji is blind in one eye and ekes out a living as a construction worker . young and grown - up at the same time , they both lead a lonely existence , but somehow their paths keep miraculously crossing under the tokyo sky . can loneliness be experienced together ? director yuya ishii shows japanese society as being caught in a sheer struggle for survival . yozora ha itsu demo saikou mitsudo no aoiro da is a touching ramble through the inner lives of two uncertain people in the middle of tokyo , a city being brutally crushed by globalisation . people alienated from their roots , families falling apart , financial strife , suicides , earthquakes – yet the film handles all of its themes with both lightness and candour . inspired by poetry , full of enchanting visual ideas and recurring music , ishii takes us with him on a lyrical journey undertaken by outsiders who have lost everything . all they can therefore do now is win – in love .

michael powell , well known and beloved in the uk for his technicolor masterpieces black narcissus , the red shoes and tales of hoffman ( all of which he co - directed with emeric pressburger ) , effectively ended his promising career with 1960’s peeping tom . although also a technicolor delight , the storyline of peeping tom disgusted the british press and proved to be so controversial that the film was re - edited to the point of nonsense for its us release in 1962 , leaving powell’s reputation in ruins . not until 1979 , through the efforts of cinephile martin scorsese , was the american movie - going public able to see the film in its entirety .

last night on netflix and remembered how much i enjoyed the ghost story of the bomber crew . i watched sole survivor and it is definitely not the film . another reason i know it is not , is that i saw the film in the 1960 ' s while still living at home before going off to college in 1968 . sole survivor was made in 1970 . maybe the reason it is so hard to find , is that it wasn ' t a movie . king 9 was a 30 minute ( 22 actual minutes ) tv episode . sole survivor 1 : 36 minute movie . what i remember of the film , is that it probably was a one hour tv episode . perhaps of amaing stories , scifi theatre , outer limites or some such tv series . i hope someone comes up with the one so many of us want to find . the unknowing ghosts that disappear one by one as their remains are found till only one remains .

ben rivers’ latest feature is a diptych film that brings together , but does not necessarily join , its two halves—the first a lyrical documentary of a moroccan film shoot and the second a dark , minimal adaptation of paul bowles ' nightmare fable a distant episode . galician director oliver laxe becomes the bridge between the film’s two worlds when he wanders , in seeming exasperation , away from his production and into the dangerous , unmeasured desert . although rivers avowed fascination with paul bowles inspired his first foray into pure fiction , his film remains firmly rooted in the daydreaming realism for which he is best known , exploring as much the slow mysteries of place as the iconic cultural specificities and mythos of the desert . print courtesy of jacqui davies limited .

the name of the film was sole survivor and if you go to you tube and type in sole survivor you can sit back and enjoy the movie .
i started thinking about this film after visiting a ww2 aircraft crash site in the far north of scotland ( near gairloch ) . it is a war grave , and there is still debris from the plan scattered over the hillside and the loch . but back to the film . this is what i remember . it is black and white . the crew do not know that they are dead . as their bodies are discovered , they
vanish
. they do play baseball , and the guy with the mitt and ball does not get found . i don ' t think it was called
sole surviver
, i think the title was longer and might have had the name of the plane .

we finished the film , but there was trouble right from the get - go . initially , orion decided to present the film as a horror movie . the original poster was an illustration of a few scary - looking , pale kids with wide eyes . it looked like something for
plot : spacemen land on venus and discover it is already populated by the survivors of atlantis .
in 2012 , that these films were comedies just as much as they were action - adventure stories , it crystallized the format in ways both positive and somewhat limiting . the result is that one can never quite take seriously claims that a new film is going to “break the mold” of the mcu , but at the same time it’s hardly something to complain about , when that mold is fundamentally solid and entertaining . to that end ,

everybody please stop trying to guess the movie if : you think it is in color or you think that william shatner is in it , because neither of those things is true . it is a black and white film , and the crew of the crashed plane don ' t ever stray very far from it , nor do i remember seeing any other characters aside from them . i also remember a harmonica being in the mix . it was a slow paced film from what i can recall . i ' m glad i ' m not alone in this , but sad we can not figure it out ! doug
i remember that someone with the casting department told me that matt had “good instincts . ” it was both praise and a conveyed insult . in other words : is he bright ? is he intelligent ? or is he all instinct , like a jungle animal ?
after hearing the arguments presented on this site and laughing myself silly : yes , it is ' sole survivor ' but most here seem to not want to believe it . i have it , it is exactly the film as described ( basehart , shatner etc ) . there is no other , don ' t keep arguing it , i think many people ' s memories have been faded over the years .

whatever the name of this film is , one thing i remember is the ghosts of the departed crew being in awe of a helicopter that turns up at the crash site , with one of them remarking that it ' hangs in the air just like a bird ' or something like that . suggesting that when they died there were no helicopters in service .
thank you for your reply paul kennedy . the trouble is , with believing the film to be this catch 22 which you mention , is that i must then also believe that the whole of the internet does not know that film as no one can find it . i really doubt that any film which has been made is not known by the internet ! i know that a couple of other people have mentioned that title , but far more have given sole survivor as the title . is it not possible that you simply watched the other known catch 22 all those years ago at the same period as sole survivor and you mixed up the two . they have similarities after all , both have ghosts and have the same feel . it ' s almost certain the film is sole survivor , it ' s simply that some who recall it a little differently ( like me ) , do not remember it completely , it was a long time ago . every time i see jason & the argonauts i see something i don ' t remember . also , it is possible there there was a european edit , i have seen that explanation on 2 different sites .
shielded by faith in its own imaginary , whilst the conceptual and material debris of that dream supplies a groaning ethnoscape with happenstantial resources . other than by the magic of montage , these worlds have no prospect of coming into direct contact , and even in the film they aren’t made to impact one another forcefully : the film puts itself in the way of this . indeed , it is precisely by

closer is a 2004 romantic drama film written by patrick marber , based on his award - winning 1997 play of the same name . it was produced and directed by mike nichols and stars julia roberts , natalie portman , jude law and clive owen . the film , like the play on which it is based , has been seen by some as a modern and tragic version of mozart ' s opera così fan tutte , with references to that opera in both the plot and the soundtrack . although much of the film was shot at elstree film and television studios in london , the closing scene was shot in new york’s time square and thereby earned a place in otsony’s film location section . natalie portman’s character alice supports herself while staying in london as a stripper , where she runs into larry played by clive owen , who realises that he knows her , even though she is wearing a pink wig . he asks her if her name is alice , knowing full well who she is , but no matter how much money he gives her , she keeps telling him her name is

the revolver was designed by igor yakovlevich stechkin , who was one of the most creative arms designers in history . he was essentially the q of kgb and gru , designing machine pistols that actually look like pistols as well as cigarette lighter derringers and of course the ots - 38 that bears his name . stechkin died a year before his revolver made it to the production line .

this compact double - action revolver was designed by the late igor lakovlevich stechkin . try to pronounce that name with a gut full of vodka . this little baby uses a system similar to the nagant revolver - the cylinder moves forward when the gun is cocked , tightening the seam between barrel and cylinder . and the ots - 38 uses specially designed 7 . 62x42mm silent ammo . the reduced volume of gases expended with the discharge of the ots - 38 makes for a very quiet gun and extreme accuracy .
stechkin’s ots - 38 was built by the tskib soo ( central bureau for sporting and hunting arms , a division of famous kbp organization , located in tula , russia ) on request from russian fsb ( federal security service ) .

that is about the only thing that makes no sense to us in the design of the ots - 38 stechkin . it has been said that this has to do with the nature of the cartridge cases and alignment with the barrel that is mounted in line with the bottom chamber of the cylinder .
no the nagant uses a cylinder that cams onto the barrel to close the cylinder gap and seal in propellant gasses . the ots - 38 uses special cartridges that seal in the propellant .
a very interesting design brought to us by the stechkin automatic pistol guy , the ots - 38 was developed from an earlier model designed for vietnam tunnel rats , which fired tungsten birdshot rounds for some reason . this revolver’s rounds are only similar in that they are completely silent , using a low amount of gunpowder located behind a piston inside the case , meaning no gas is actually released when firing the gun , producing no sound or muzzle flash . the gun itself being a revolver also means no spent cartridges can be heard dropping on the floor .
. noiseless and flameless shot is made due to special sp - 4 cartridges with power gases localized in the case . the ots - 38 revolver can be rightfully called noiseless , since the noise level when making a shot and dry firing is practically identical .
the similarity between 7 . 62x38r and the crimp on the stechkin cartridge , coupled with the wide gap behind the cylinder convinced me that this revolver is , indeed , of the gas seal design .
it’s called the ots - 38 stechkin revolver , and it fires from the bottom cylinder like a chiappa rhino in order to provide a much lower bore axis . this allows the revolver to transfer the recoil into the center of the shooter’s hand , more in line with the muscles of the shooter’s forearm . it has an integral laser sight where the barrel would normally appear on a revolver , and as we mentioned in the introductory sentence , it has a safety that blocks the hammer when cocked in order to deliver a single action first shot .
thanks , i hadn ' t found that review before . given that , now that we have a modern remake of the welrod , it would be interesting to see it tested against the ots - 38 .
would like to know more about the
silent
ammunition . looks like it fires just from the power of the primer .

to 38 special as a nagent 32 caliber revolver . i am not sure a 1858 remington 45 back powder with percussion caps would be a better gun to have in a fight ,
the sp4 round is a silent piston design . no gas is released , and the projectile is subsonic . it ' s no comparison to even a silenced 22lr . the loudest sound would be the hammer falling on the firing pin . the welrod fired at 73db , the ots - 38 is guaranteed to be quieter because it has no escaping gas at all .
interesting . i suppose a silent firearm would be useful if you didn ' t have the element of surprise & are out of reaching distance .

the pre - cocked hammer can be set on manual safety . this enables to carry the revolver with a cocked hammer . the provided safety eliminates accidental discharge with the cylinder open or not fully closed , with the revolver dropped or struck . due to barrel location beneath the cylinder , the shooter’s hand is steady at the moment of firing providing the best accuracy and deliverable rate of fire . the ots - 38 also features an optional integral
in this stechkin , even though headspace may not be perfect , i don ' t doubt that the gun can be fired without the clip , but it may not be as reliable .
this revolver is a silent weapon . the effective range of fire is 50m . the fired cases are kept in the cylinder thus ensuring the absence of sound of fire . the cartridge employs a captive piston so there is no flash or loud report upon discharge .

as said above , ots - 4 is fitted with integral laser sight . it is also fitted with traditional fixed iron sights , that have contrast white inserts .
“so i flicked off the safety of my suppressed snub - nosed revolver and emptied five rounds of 7 . 62 into the target , each one so silent that you would have thought i was dry - firing the gun . i had a spare moon clip of 7 . 62 ready to go . ”
ots - 38 resembles a traditional double - action revolver but it has many uncommon features . for the start , it has a more or less common exposed hammer with double - action trigger , but the action fitted with ambidextrous manual safety which allows for safe
cocked & locked
carry , for fast and accurate first shot . next , the ots - 38 fires from the bottom chamber of the cylinder , as opposed to most revolvers that fire from upper chamber . therefore , the barrel axis of ots - 38 is relatively low and muzzle jump is minimal . the large cylindrical housing , located above the barrel of ots - 38 , contains an integral laser pointer / sight . the cylinder fixture is also of most unusual nature . the cylinder axis is hinged to the frame at the front , so once cylinder release ( at the left side of the frame ) is pushed forward , the cylinder can be swung open to the right and forward ( while on most modern revolvers cylinders are swung down and to the left ) . upon the opening of the cylinder , an automatic ejector partially withdraws the clip with rounds ( or empty cases ) from cylinder . this unusual cylinder mounting is essential to provide minimum play between the firing chamber in cylinder and barrel throat , since the sp - 4 bullets are of pure cylinder shape , and thus cannot self - align itself with the barrel upon firing , unlike most conventional bullets that have conical or ogive nose shape . since

the quiet knight is a primary weapon for the stealth class in blitz brigade . it is based on the russian ots - 38 and has an integrated suppressor . it does average damage for a stealth weapon , more than the heisenberg 9 , and is silenced just like most of the other weapons for the stealth . it also has a decent rate of fire and critical chance .

edit : the problem with these silent guns though is that no matter how quiet they are , you could still be left with a screaming target . check out the field manual on sentry removal , none of the techniques illustrated involve firearms .
jesse mccree’s revolver is double action . for those of you have no idea what that means ( which is probably half the fandom , let’s be honest , so don’t feel bad ) , a single action revolver requires that the hammer be pushed back down after every single shot . think of any old western with the main hero’s revolver . he / she hits the hammer after every single shot .

also not to mention that
silent
guns don ' t really exist , screaming target or no , because without alternative methods of propulsion , even suppressors produce over 120 db , and would be heard , but are more used to prevent exact locations from being determined from sound .
i didn’t know this gun until today , although i can say that its system was known during the late 70s or the early 80s at least ( i cannot remember on what type of firearm at this time , regretfully , but it seems to me it was used to propel some darts or explosive arrows ) . however , you’ll find a very similar system conceived to arm the powerful spring of a british silent spring antitank rocket launcher designed in 1942 , and named piat ( standing for “projector , infantry , anti tank” ) . the spring of this rocket launcher could be armed by a piston itself powered by the gas of a blank cartridge ( a 32 acp is my recollection is good ) . once the spring was thus armed , then it could be released by an all ordinary trigger , so as to push a bomb very similar to a mortar shell ( see urltoken ) . otherwise , i doubt this stechkin silent revolver could be a really efficient weapon capable to kill or even seriously wound an opponent with a single shot .
the revolver is not silenced and gas seal is of little consequence because it is the cartridge that is silenced using a piston / self - seal mechanism .
good question ! it ' s too complicated and , when firing double action , it adds a lot of effort to the already long trigger pull . you are also stuck with the limited ammo capacity of a revolver . a 7 or 8 round revolver in a respectable caliber , say . 357 , is a bulky thing . a 9 shot 9mm will disappear in your pocket . also , revolvers aren ' t more reliable than a modern automatics . this is coming from a revolver guy who prefers a wheelgun for hunting and plinking . i carry a 10 + 1 automatic in . 45 acp that ' s roughly the size of a six shot revolver for serious social purposes .
mp - 412 rex revolver . . 357 magnum , polymer frame , top - break action . made specifically for the american market , but bill clinton fucked us over again .
the revolver features a number of unusual features . the barrel is mounted below the axis pin , the cylinder pivots out to the right , and it features a manual safety catch .
unfortunately , we will probably never see this revolver or its ammunition available in america . it’s not that common in russia either , as less than 300 of these were made between 2002 and 2012 .
somebody pointed out that there was a semi - auto pistol that fired similar rounds , though i don ' t know how and can ' t click that link at work . either way , some cool firearm tech came out of russia , from these
silent
piston - rounds to ak - type rifles that worked under water and fired
harpoon
type bullets .
the unique crimp on the nagant revolver 7 . 62x38r cartridge has the purpose of projecting slightly beyond the cylinder to seal the barrel - cylinder gap when the cylinder is moved forward in the gas seal design .
the other thing you might be thinking right now is , “that sounds cool , but you said snub - nosed . i’ve read enough of your shit over the years about silencers and revolvers to know it can only be done on a nagant revolver where the cylinder provides a seal with the barrel to prevent gas leakage around the cylinder . so this is a threaded - barrel nagant - type revolver , right ? ”
in short , the “sealed revolver” idea , in actual practice , is simply underwhelming . that being the case , the nagant system is relegated to a curiosity - it ' s just not worth the trouble .
there is one thing all of them have in common that is ; they all really want the pistol to work every time when the need it . a conventional revolver is more like to work than any other pistol .
considering the gap between the cylinder & frame , and the similarity of the cartridge mouth to the original nagant revolver ammo , and the need of the cylinder to clear the barrel , the actin must work similar to the original nagant .
a double action revolver ( mccree’s peacemaker ) does not require the hammer to be pushed back down after every shot and functions almost like a semi - automatic handgun . this means every time you apply pressure to the trigger , a bullet is coming out .
manufactured by holland and holland in england c . 1870 at the earliest - serial number 455 . . 577 / 14 , 75x20 , 90mmr british revolver six - round cylinder , double action . you might have guessed , but this pistol is fucking huge .
why don ' t more revolvers use the sealed chamber and barrel system of the nagant revolver ? i think the nagant pistol is probably one of the ten worst mass produced pistols of the last 150 years . we can tell you have never fired one .
luxurious twenty shot double action pinfire revolver with carved ebony grips , double barrels and folding trigger . the cylinder has two rows of ten chambers . the hammer alternatively strikes the pins of the cartridges in the upper and lower rows , firing through the respective barrel .
i get your point about the cylinder having to move back to allowed it to swing in and out without fouling the barrel but still doubt that it uses nagant type breech sealing . the comments by ` cheaper than dirt ` are clearly in error anyway as they state that the cylinder moves forward when the gun is cocked - check the photograph above and you ` ll see that the cylinder is forward with the revolver uncocked . a second point is that they state that the reduced volume of gases expended with the discharge . . . . . makes for a very quiet gun . . . . . . if any gases were expended the gun would not be silent . the cartridge is specifically designed to not ` expend ` any gases and therefore does not require the revolver to have any form of gas sealing . a third point concerns the comment in the full article that
the gun can be loaded with loose ammo or five at a time with a metal clip
. i think it may safely be assumed that the ` metal clip ` is an absolute necessity in order to fill the very large gap between the cylinder and the recoil plate . cheaper than dirt have no example of either the revolver or it ` s ammunition for sale and it would seem that they are commenting on the gun only .
the gas seal system functions best ( probably only , barring some novel chamber to cylinder sealing mechanism ) with cartridges that have brass protruding beyond the bullet which can be fire - formed to seal the chamber / forcing cone / barrel from gas . such ammo is not common , and if new cartridges of the sort were produced for , say , 38 . spcl , they would be noticeably more expensive due to the additional step in production .
i am certain that my reasoning will not convince all who hold other views . however , i will let them take up the matter of the revolver ' s operation with one of the gun ' s sellers in the usa , cheaper than dirt , in ft . worth , texas . their description says :
i ` m sure the cartridge used in this revolver was mentioned in a previous ifg topic . . . . what goes around , comes around i guess . for details of the cartridge used and other ` interesting ` russian guns and ammo check - out this link : urltoken . . . ges - e . html
smith and wesson model 586 l - comp in . 357 magnum with vz grips . a 7 round double action revolver with a ported barrel which decreases muzzle flip . this makes for a great conceal carry choice due to it’s shortened 3
barrel and squared ‘boot’ grip . manufacture - @ smithwessoncorp @ vzgrips photo taken by - @ john _ wizemans _ world
s & w was loading a captive gas cartridge in . 38 way back in viet namn . they were used in 38spl revolvers for clearing tunnels . i wonder how the atf will handle this issue since it is the ammo that is silenced and not the weapon . will each round require paperwork and a tax stamp ? they will probably just require the tips to be painted green and ban it . we will probably have to watch sarco , century and aim surplus for this one , but buds has class 3 license , so they might have some eventually .
the sp - 4 is a unique type of cartridge . it builds on the russian
piston driven
projectile design of older cartridges , and uses a
piston
to seal the gases within the cartridge . therefore , no gases escape the barrel when fired , resulting in a silent discharge . the piston seals against the case bottleneck . presumably the gases slowly leak from the spent cartridge over time . the amount of powder beneath the piston is relatively small , as show by the cutout images . the tip of the piston centers the trailing end of the bullet . the bullet appears to be no more than a slug of the wadcutter design with a brass / copper sleeve to align against the rifling :
also , consider that loading and unloading the nagant isn ' t all that easy . you had to pull the ejector rod out and then over . then you had to open a loading gate . at this point , you ' re using the same loading style as a single action revolver . that isn ' t popular among folks who want to be able to reload sometime this week .
the nagant revolver is an overly complex system with a crappy trigger . in order to make the cylinder move forward to seal the forcing cone , the action has to 1 ) rotate the cylinder to put the live round behind the barrel , 2 ) move the cylinder forward to seal the chamber , 3 ) pull the hammer back to the cocked position 4 ) allow the sear to release the hammer .
the bullet diameter is 7 . 62mm . the overall case length is 42mm . so it’s slightly longer than an empty piece of brass from your ak or sks ( 39mm ) , but unlike those rounds there is no bottle neck ; it’s pretty much a rimless straight wall case . the other unique concept here is that the cylinder opens out on the right hand side of the revolver as opposed to the left .
very interesting ! the under - the - cylinder - axis barrel is used by others , but i do like the way the cylinder swings out . at first glance , it seemed like there was a large gap between the cylinder and the recoil plate , but with the
half moon
system of holding the cartridges , it makes sense . wt they don ' t mention is the way the cylinder swings into the frame , but the side of the barrel is not relieved for the cylinder to pivot into the frame without hitting the barrel . since the revolver is silenced and a big source of noise in a revolvers is the gap between the cylinder and barrel , and since it is a russian revolver , and since there is such a vague description of the forcing cone , etc , i am suspecting some kind of gas seal design . it would be interesting to handle one !
but the ruger , being a single action , could use an ejector rod to remove spent cartridges , where the double actions could not - they needed the half moon clip to eject empty rimless cartridges . there is a shoulder ( as opposed to a step ) in revolver cylinders , and a 45 acp case would only go in so far . headspace may not be reliable , but this doesn ' t mitigate against the gun being fired at all .
i ' ve been making underhammer pistols for a few years now , along with two underhammer schuetzen rifles and a hunting rifle , as well as sidelock guns , but always in the back of my mind was that idea of marrying the short and long arms into one . i examined everything from the dragoon flintlock , the civil war era revolver with shoulder stock , the smith & wesson model 320 , but mostly the numerous versions that were produced as underhammers . finally , this summer , i dove headlong into the project .

nice find vikram , very close resemblance to the mateba semi - auto . the link doesn ' t say how they seal the gas . personally however i don ' t think nothing can beat their own nagant . tc
i ` m sure it doesn ` t use the nagant sealing system because there is no need for a gas seal . there is minimal gap between the cylinder and the barrel - it fires from the bottom cylinder . what looks like a barrel at the ` normal ` location is the housing for a laser .
it does look like the ammunition itself , sp - 4 , is silenced .
three distinct applications are made from this design - the first obviously being clandestine / sof applications where silence is paramount . to this end , the russians designed the spp pistol for the ammunition . the pistol has a floating chamber with a 2nd buffer spring to eliminate metal - to - metal slap against the barrel and slide .

that the upper housing is a laser sight and the firing cylinder chamber is the bottom one is quite clear from the provided description .
i am noting again that , as the cylinder swings out , if there is minimal gap between the barrel and cylinder , the right side of the barrel needs to be relieved or the cylinder needs to move backward , or else the cylinder will jam on the barrel before it can be swung out .
there simply is no reason to design a cartridge like that if the case mouth is not being used as part of a gas seal system .
i don ' t think that the
half moon clip
operates any differently than the originals did in the colt and smith & wesson 1917 revolvers , and that is to provide positive headspacing for rimless cartridges .
in this design , there is an additional advantage that was also present in the original 1917 design - they acted as a sort of speed loader . the original 1917 revolvers could have been made with a step in the chamber so the 45 acp case could headspace on the case mouth as they do in the pistol . ruger did that with their single action that came with interchangeable cylinders in 45 colt and 45 acp .
i see the large gap between the recoil plate and cylinder as another evidence of a gas seal action . i ' ve handled my brother ' s smith & wesson model 25 enough to know that a gap that large , much less the rebated rear of the cylinder , is not necessary for half moon clip use alone .
but i still maintain that there is every reason to believe that such a cartridge is designed for gas seal operation . and while you do have a point about the cheaper than dirt description , they sell more than enough nagant 1895s to know what a gas seal action is .
read vikram ' s post . it ' s
gas seal
only as it seals the gas within the case . the bullet is not driven by the powder gases , but by the piston .

the ammo for this gun is really cool . basically a piston pushes out the ammo , keeping it very quiet .
well , yes , guns do silence you . no matter where you are !

belgian takedown . . . then he heaves his body weight into the hips of the sentry while pulling up on the ankles . this technique slams the sentry to the ground on his face .
they ' re useful even if you have the element of surprise , especially since most modern suppressors hide muzzle flash . very effective if you ' re firing from an elevated position or from multiple angles , as the other guys won ' t know where to shoot at , let alone who to shoot .
a really quiet suppressed gun - bolt action 22lr rifle where the only mechanical noise is the firing pin - is doing 110 db at best , that is pretty loud compared to the above , especially considering that the decibel is a logarithmic unit .
you would definitely hear it - but in the case of these
assassination guns
, if you used them on a busy city street , the target will collapse screaming and as you say no one will have any idea where the shot came from , allowing the shooter to escape undetected .
reportedly the suppressor functions optimally within the first 10 – 15 rounds fired . for those who prefer dry numbers i can inform that the american oss ( office of strategic service ) , according to a document dated february 12 , 1945 , performed a measurement on noise from suppressed weapons to help evaluate their own just finished prototype , hi - standard automatic pistol calibre . 380 acp . all measurements are performed at a perpendicular angle 10 ft . from the muzzle .
from the document it can be seen that the average noise level of the welrod pistol was at 73 db , hi standard . 380 acp at 81 db and hi - standard . 22lr at 71 db . in comparison , a non - suppressed calibre . 32 acp pistol , has a noise level of 105 db .
if we look at more modern data , . 32 acp is quoted as being at 153 . 5 db , almost 50 db more than the value quoted in the 1945 report . this implies that the value quoted for the welrod must be significantly less than reality .
in order , the individual shots of the 5 - round string were measured at : 125 . 0 , 124 . 5 , 124 . 5 , 123 . 8 , and 125 . 0 db . the overall average was 124 . 6 db .
this makes it around 10 db louder than the best suppressed 22lr pistol , a very significant difference .
so it ' s just a big lead cylinder ? seems like that would be inaccurate .
the bullet is a steel cylinder , with a soft driving band to engage the rifling . accurate enough at the 30 feet or so range it was meant for , and effective against steel helmets or soft body armor .
also check out the russian s4m , it has similar ammo but is a double - barreled derringer . the short barrel and low muzzle velocity basically guaranteed that point - blank range is the only place where it could be effective , and as such it was used exclusively as an assassination pistol .
wikipedia has no pic , so i found one on google for you guys .
i ' ve seen one of these before , our old neighbour had one . : d
i live in russia , so no . one american couple that took pictures of everybody did , though .
a guy just showed me a link for the delisle carbine actually . $ 2500
they have a semi - automatic pistol which fires the same ammunition , the pss - here ' s a very good sadj review .
average noise levels of 124 . 6 db make it louder than a properly suppressed 22lr pistol , for approximately the same muzzle energy . the pss is however much more compact and easy to conceal , and its steel bullet is presumably a better penetrator which causes a more severe wound .
pretty awesome considering a revolvers ability to retain brass combined with a silencer for lower sound signature .
the webley fosbery was also technically able to be accept a suppressor due to its odd design , although i ' m pretty sure it was never actually modified to accept one .
trivia : fosbery won the victoria cross while carrying a pistol he designed himself .
so i ' m assuming it works like the 1895 nagant ? which is also russian . . .

today’s article was brought to you in its entirety by daniel defense ( @ danieldefense ) : lighter . stronger . better .
nope . in fact there is no silencer to attach to the barrel . the sound and flash of each round is fully contained within the cartridge case . inside the case is a piston . after firing the piston seals the cartridge’s neck . this eliminates the noise , smoke and flash by acting as a barrier after the round is touched off . in essence , each round acts as its own silencer .
this particular round was designed to be effective at up to 100′ and the sound signature is said to be at 110 db with no muzzle flash . it is a rimless cartridge and fed via moon clips .
“ah hah , but in the intro , you said it was 7 . 62 . that’s a rifle round . is this the only error you made ? ”
the principle behind the ammunition , however , was designed by the people who literally went to the moon , or at least helped out in some way . aai ( aircraft armaments , inc . ) corporation located in hunt valley , maryland , designed ammunition based on this principle almost fifty years earlier for use with the quiet special purpose revolvers ( qspr ) , a modified s & w model 29 that fired suppressed in the tunnels of vietnam .
it goes to show that even if a firearm description sounds weird , wrong or flat out stupid , it may still be something real and valid .

…by the way , take also a look at the “captive bolt pistol” , invented in germany in the early 20th century , whose system is very similar too . urltoken
so , i’m not gonna be able to go down to cabela’s and pick up fifty rounds ? : - ) frankly , penetrating a steel helmet at 20 meters is quite commendable . i’ve fired . 380 rounds that wouldn’t come close .

if you look at mccree when he shoots , his left hand never goes near the hammer until he fans it .
what i’m getting at here is this…there is literally no reason for mccree to fan the hammer other than for the cowboy aesthetic that he holds so dear . and no , this isn’t him acting stupid or pretending to be stupid . it’s just his style .
