Study on Some Improvised Revolvers(JFSCI) - Juniper Publishers







There are different types of small firearms including the revolver which is a rifled handgun having a revolving cylinder with chamber for loading cartridges. Revolvers of different calibers are available varying from 3mm to about 15 mm. These small firearms are usually used by police personnel/civilians for self-defense or the defense of others; and military personnel during combat. Considering the revolver's various advantages, such firearms are clandestinely manufactured by skilled gunsmith in various locations in India and smuggled out of the country by weapons traffickers for sale and global distribution. As such, gun control has become difficult. Out of total gun-violence cases received in the laboratory for last ten years, it is seen, 2% of the total (1635 number) cases are contributed by improvised revolvers. Such indigenous firearms are meticulously designed to fire different factory made ammunition.
