Russian Rsh-12 12.7mm Revolver

Stumbled upon this monster purely on accident- The Russian Rsh-12, sometimes referred to as an assault revolver. Very little is known about it, but what is confirmed is that this 12.7mm (roughly .50 Alaskan) cannon is manufactured in very limited numbers and is nearly impossible to find. It looks about like the Chiappa Rhino and appears to hold 5 rounds as well as having break action and cylinder swing functions. I've found a few actual pictures (one of them of a man holding it for perspective) and I've also found a Deviantart page (in Russian, sorry) of renders.

Such a weapon would certainly make an interesting and highly unique addition to the New Vegas experience, I hope someone will take up this project!

Might I just say, I highly doubt this was produced or designed for Spetsnaz use. There's not a military on the planet who utilise a sidearm calibre above .45 ACP. There's simply no point.

On the other hand, this is an awesome weapon. Somebody make it!

I was planning on editing the bit about the Spetsnaz out. The more I thought about it the less sense it made. Iffy source on that as well, will fix.

Glad to see a little support for this thing though, it would be fun to boom around with.

It's basically the king of hand cannons, along with stuff like the .500 S&W. I'd love to mess around with it!

 

If someone can make me a model, I'll be happy to get it in-game.

The Smith and Wesson 500 Magnum would be fun to put into a hand-cannon pack of sorts along with the Pfeifer Zeliska .600 Nitro Express, Taurus Raging Bull and a few others... I'll file that away for later :wink:

Glad to know you're willing to do it! I would've myself by now, but unfortunately I've always been useless at modding.

(Note: Someone has done a .600 NE mod of sorts, but unfortunately it's only an enlarged reskin of the Ranger Sequoia and the model doesn't show up for some including myself. Strangely enough, I haven't found a 500 Magnum mod.)

UPDATE: I've found a Turbosquid model.

I'm aware no one would probably want to pay for the model, but the page for the model shows all angles of the firearm as well as the massive .50 cal round and could probably help put things into perspective for anyone who wants to model it.
