qsy-complains-a-lot: Bramit DeviceDesigned by Bratya Mitiny for the Nagant M1895 revolver c.1920′s.6mm sabotted bullet in a 7,62x38mmR Nagant cartridge, double action, gas-sealed cylinder.The Bramit device was designed to take advantage of one of the Nagant M1895′s peculiar advantage, its gas seal. With each pull of the trigger the cylinder would be indexed and then pushed forward against the barrel’s breech, in a way that the chamber would sit flush against it and the special round’s elongated case would bridge any remaining gap.This allowed the revolver to use a suppressor like a self-loading pistol, as well as other silencing devices like this one above. Instead of using baffles and nets to dissipate the expending gas of a fired round, the Bramit device used a two-part system consisting of a muzzle attachment and a special round ; respectively a cylinder with six .7,62mm chambers bottlenecked to 6mm, and a 7,62mm caliber sabot round holding a 6mm bullet.As pictured above, the projectile when fired would travel with its sabot down the length of the revolver’s rifled barrel, before passing through the 6mm bottleneck where the sabot would be caught, effectively plugging the barrel and preventing any gas from exiting it, silencing the gun. The device would then be indexed manually, much like a regular cylinder, before the gun could be fired again.This left the gun as silent firing live ammunition as it would be dry-firing, at the cost of a frankly clunky and suite front-heavy design. -- source link
