When this situation occurs, you can cycle the next round faster (and without taking your hands from their positions on the weapon) with a revolver rifle than you can with a semi-auto or even bolt-action rifle - and there's less chance of shifting the point of aim when you do so.

Originally posted by StainlessSteelCynic View PostThe key word here is almost, most are too troublesome to bother with due to the lack of gas sealing but there are some designs that are more suited to the task.
The Nagant M1895 revolver used gas sealing as part of its normal operation. This allowed it to be suppressed at around the same noise level as any supressed semi-auto pistol.
The point being, that supressing a revolver can be done. And with the idea being to produce a rapid, single shot, supressed weapon that retains the cases, putting a metal cage over the ejection port of a semi-auto would likely cause a distinctive noise as the shell hit the cage. There's also the problem of just how big do you make the cage to allow it to effectively capture all the cases without filling up to the point of jamming the action and how unwieldy does that make the weapon
Another idea was a forward-ejecting system (similar to Kel-Tec's RFB) with a manually locked tube, but that would be severely limited in capacity, and if it wasn't cleared, it could do nasty things to the rifle's innards.Writer at The Vespers War - World War I equipment for v2.2

Originally posted by The Dark View PostYeah, a cage/bag over the ejection port was one of the other ideas I had thought of, but it tends to be unwieldy (as you shoot, you get more weight hanging off one side of the gun), it's not truly silent (even with a canvas bag, you'll have brass hitting brass), and if you have any problem with ejection, it's much slower and harder to clear.
