Misc OTs-38 silent revolver

The OTS 38 is one of the oddest handguns out there. It was built for the Russian Federal Secuirity Force. It is an integrally silenced revolver, one of the few revolvers that can be silenced. It produces almost no sound, and no muzzle flash. Another feature that makes this double action revolver odd is a ambidexturous safety. It also fire from the bottom chamber instead of the top, as in most revolvers. It also contains an integral laser sight. The cylinder even swings out in an odd way, The cylinder axis is hinged to the frame at the front, so once cylinder release (at the left side of the frame) is pushed forward, the cylinder can be swung open to the right and forward (while on most modern revolvers cylinders are swung down and to the left). This unusual cylinder mounting is essential to provide minimum play between the firing chamber in cylinder and barrel throat, since the SP-4 bullets are of pure cylinder shape, and thus cannot self-align itself with the barrel upon firing, unlike most conventional bullets that have conical or ogive nose shape
