1885 Dimancea: A Revolver With Sprockets
This video explores the innovative 1885 Dimancea revolver, a unique hammerless design featuring rotating sprockets instead of a traditional hammer. Developed by Romanian officer Haralamb Dimancea, the design was produced by Gatling Arms Company in England and tested by the Romanian and French militaries, but ultimately not adopted. The video details its .38 caliber, 6-shot configuration, double-action-only operation, and its complex yet ultimately unbeneficial mechanism compared to conventional revolvers.
