Hunt: Showdown Nagant M1895

The Nagant pistol chambered in 7.62x38 mmR from Hunt: Showdown!

NAGANT M1895. (See also, REVOLVER, RUSSIAN EMPIRE) Designed by Léon Nagant, the Nagant M1895 was commissioned as a bespoke service revolver for the Russian Empire and would see use throughout the armed forces. This created relatively stringent design requirements. The Russian Empire was a vast expanse stretching across some of the most inhospitable terrains in the world. At the same time, the nation was lagging behind in terms of modernization. Manufacturing standards at the time were relatively less sophisticated in Russia than throughout the United States and Western Europe.

As a result, The Nagant M1895 proved to be a unique, albeit unconventional, single-action revolver. It proved to be durable enough to survive use in adverse conditions, and simple enough to be manufactured quickly and in staggering quantities. The cylinder is pressed flush to the barrel on firing, though this does mean that it requires unique ammunition. A major disadvantage of the weapon was that reloading was slow. Shots had to be removed individually with the ejector rod, and then loaded individually.
