Galactic Horizon 7.7mm “Legion” Variable Revolver

The Galactic Horizon 7.7mm “Legion” Variable Revolver is simultaneously Galactic Horizon’s simplest and most versatile sidearm. It is also the second weapon after the Galactic Horizon Frontiersman 7.7mm Repeating Rifle to make use of their full line of 7.7mm ammunition.

It was put onto the open market in YE 42 to compliment the company’s ever-growing list of products, available even with conversion kits of a few popular and similarly sized ammunition.

The Galactic Horizon 7.7mm “Legion” Variable Revolver was designed to be simpler and more robust than their already hardy line of top-break wheel guns. It opted for the time-tested swing-out cylinder people were so much more familiar with and a more traditional top-firing cylinder, opposed to their underdog design. It was designed more so for the masses than their more refined options and the modularity certainly helped the weapon fill any roles its owner needed it to, while remaining sturdy enough to function as a makeshift bludgeoning device.

Mechanical information related to the inner workings of this weapon.

• Firing Mechanism: Double/Single action revolver that fires once with each squeeze of the trigger, the hammer may be manually cocked back prior to decrease how much resistance the trigger will put up against being squeezed. At the end of the hammer’s rearward travel the cylinder is pushed forward to make a gas-tight seal with the rear of the barrel as part of the Black-Patent Revolver Assembly, allowing it to be effectively suppressed if the owner desires.
• Loading: Ambidextrous cylinder-release buttons on either side allow the cylinder to swing out the left-hand side of the weapon on its sturdy crane, though unlike the company’s previous top-break revolvers it requires the user manually depress the spring-loaded ejector-rod to clear the cylinder. Fresh ammunition is easily loaded in by simply placing one round into each of the chambers, sometimes assisted by a speed-loader, moon-clip or speed-strip, before closing the cylinder back into the weapon’s frame.
• Mode Selector: N/A
• Firing Modes: Double/Single-Action
• Safety Mechanism: A metal plate separates the front of the hammer from the rear of the firing pin when the revolver is not fully cocked, this makes the firearm drop-proof and the heavy double-action trigger ensures the weapon will only fire when the trigger is depressed.
• Weapon Sight: The 7.7mm Legion makes use of a traditional three-point sighting system, each of which contain diamond-shaped, fiberoptic/tritium sighting elements for improved visibility in any condition. A plate in front of the, adjustable, rear sight block may be removed in order to mount a small optic that can easily co-witness with the front sight fin.
• Attachment Hard Points: A removable section of rail runs along the top of the frame, the top of the barrel and the underside of the barrel to accommodate any attachments the user so desires, additionally the grips may easily be removed and replaced if need be.

Despite the weapon’s rugged design it is rather easy to take apart with the included multi-tool. This multi-tool allows the quick removal of the barrel shroud, barrel, cylinder arm and rail system to be swapped around as the user sees fit. It is a small T-shaped thing with a bright yellow grip so that it is easier to keep track of and so that owners are less likely to lose track of it.
