Revolver Revolution
Revolver Revolution History Instinctive shooting An unprecedented performance Safeties Materials and finish More plusses Accessories Packaging Model range - Technical Chart Operating instructions Grip instructions Press review Videos 2 When the name “Rhino” was chosen in 2002, nobody could imagine that it would be perfect to reflect not only its solid and compact shape, but the sturdy character of a rhino as well. This is the story of the Rhino revolver. In the summer of 2000 Emilio Ghisoni had already sold his company Ma.te.ba with all the relevant patents, however his passion for firearms was never extinguished, and he was anxious to be again part of the world which had given him a place in the history of firearms. After innovative projects such as Mtr8, 2006, autorevolver and other semiautomatic pistols with “co-axial” feed, what Ghisoni now had in mind was a revolver with 7 chambers, new mechanics and a low barrel, as was his style. He needed to be financed for this project, so he submitted the idea to his friend and architect Antonio Cudazzo, inventor of the FAR system. Cudazzo liked the project but was concerned that it would be a direct competitor with other Ma.te.ba products, as the concept was very similar to former models developed by Ghisoni. He was nevertheless very interested in this innovative firearm, and after a few days returned to Ghisoni, with a project modified according to his previous reflections on ergonomics and a compact shape for revolvers. He proposed to Ghisoni some drawings for a revolver for personal defense.

Subject: Weapons & Items Requests for UC-1.13/DL-1.13/AFS Posted by Wil473 on Mon, 08 Aug 2011 22:28:31 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Looks like Smeagol beat me to creating one of these. As I am sharing items between the three mods, spinning out a thread for weapon and item requests. Please include at a minimum: - link to more information - rational why I should be adding your favourite gun to three different mods (I've included a list of weapons already in-mod to avoid embarrassing incidents of duplication) - description to item (bonus points if it is usable in-game) - graphics (bonus points if they are usable in-game, and you are the artist so I don't need to track anyone down for permission) Note, that with New Magazine System (NMS) in the works, this thread will be mostly to gather information for future "Advance Capability" versions of the mods that will be created after the current "offical" cycle of v1.13 releases. Specifically NMS, so far, has a few features that not only simplifies adding unique magazine capacities and multiple magazine capacities, but on considering what ChrisL has already stated to be his plans for NMS, features that can be exploited (ie. not ChrisL's intention, but I plan on abusing it for this purpose) to make supporting a common item list between multiple mods much easier... EDIT (2016/10/03): This thread has been replaced by The 2nd Weapons & Items Requests for UC-1.13/DL-1.13/AFS noticed the list was broken when clearing the Sticky flag on this thread.

357 Mag, Featuring Slight Modifications That WHITE RHINO Only Enhance the Revolver’S .357 MAG Remarkable Accuracy
One-of-the most novel revolver of our time is back, with a longer barrel, nicer action, and the same splendid accuracy! Photos by Steve Woods t’s hard for me to think of Chiappa Firearm’s recently introduced Rhino series of double-action and double-action-only revolvers, without thinking of Ogden Nash’s poem: I The rhino is a homely beast, For human eyes he’s not a feast. Farewell, farewell, you old rhinoceros, I’ll stare at something less prepoceros. I’m sure the same lines have flashed through the minds of many shooters the first time they looked at this radically designed handgun. The four- legged rhino may indeed be a marvel of Nature, since we are told it has survived since prehistoric times. However, all Ogden Nash would have needed to describe this gun would be one more capital letter. The Chiappa Rhino is indeed a homely beast. GUN TEST With a revolutionary CHIAPPA underbarrel design that minimizes recoil, Chiappa continues its charge on the gun market with the redesigned Rhino 40DS .357 Mag, featuring slight modifications that WHITE RHINO only enhance the revolver’s .357 MAG remarkable accuracy. 30 • Complete Book of Handguns 2012 Complete Book of Handguns 2012 • 31 Chiappa White Rhino .357 Mag Seen from any angle, The sight axis is very high above “the Rhino is an ugly beast.” the bore axis on the Rhino.

By definition, cylinders are supposed to be round—but the Rhino has six flat sides, which actually does well to aid in ease of carry (above).
