US12590781 - Preloaded disposable cylinder system for revolver

A preloaded disposable cylinder system for revolvers comprising a disposable cylindrical body, which is preferably 3D printed with chambers preloaded with propellant, primer, and projectile components without cartridge cases. The system includes boss pads and tapered cylinder end guideways for precise alignment, a spring-loaded center pin mechanism for secure retention, and eliminates traditional crane mechanisms and extractors. The design provides faster reload times than conventional revolvers, stronger dual-end cylinder lock-up, enhanced accuracy through improved alignment, and reduced manufacturing complexity. Compatible with existing revolver designs through minor frame modifications.
