Study on Some Improvised Revolvers by Ajitesh Pal in 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.
