Nova Model 757 Cityhunter (2020)

Nova Model 757 Cityhunter is pistol revolver. An unusual double-action design from Nova Arms, a company with a long-time fascination with futuristic revolvers. The Cityhunter can be classified as a revolver-almost. The Nova design strays from revolver conventions in several ways: the Cityhunter fires 11 mm caseless "trounds" (that is, each cartridge's bullet is embedded in a triangular propellant block).

These trounds load into the Cityhunter's internal cylinder, which is completely enclosed within the tubular body of the gun, set above and in front of the trigger. Unlike the traditional revolver, the Cityhunter's cylinder does not have enclosed chambers. They are open on the outer surface, allowing each tround, as the cylinder revolves, to drop down into the breach, located directly under the cylinder. Within the breach is an electrical igniter, which fires the tround's propellant. The barrel of the gun is positioned in-line with the trigger (and thus the firer's hand), reducing recoil and making the gun easier to fire. To aid in aiming, the Cityhunter has an integral laser sight, mounted along the centerline of the tubular portion of the gun. Ahead of the cylinder, the shaft is surrounded by another 2 loads (12 rounds). When all six trounds in the cylinder have been fired, one racks the slider (located on the exterior of the tube) back one index to move the next six rounds into the cylinder; when those six trounds have been fired, rack the slider again to load the last six trounds.

If smartchipped, this process can be activated though the chipping. To fully reload the tube ( 18 trounds), one presses a recessed release switch beneath the laser sight and pulls the cap off the front of the gun. One can then load new trounds into the tube-Nova manufactures a speedloader for this gun to facilitate this (25eb each, ammo extra).
