Revolver Performance Trials: M34 Service Revolver

147k Pilotmario  8.3 years ago

SIZE

This revolver is relatively compact in relation to its magazine size.

DETAIL

Plenty to spare.

ACCURACY

The revolver's directed energy beam proved noticeably more precise at ranges beyond 25 meters against the Carlton M82 with standard issue ammunition. The weight assisted with recoil considerably.

AMMUNITION CAPACITY

The M34 had the highest ammunition capacity of any revolver, being 8 shots. This is two more than the average contestant.

PRACTICALITY

In mud tests, the M82 proved more resistant than the M34. The heavier, more complicated system did not yield any performance advantage over the M82 other than accuracy. In addition, it required specialty ammunition, and as a result, the process was slowed down by the need for this exclusive ammunition that was not compatible with existing M82.
