The Tagan Revolving Rifle is the Fanaglian Army's former primary firearm, which was replaced by the Tagan Arms TR-83, but remained in service by some rear-echelon units until 1894. Alonso Tagan saw the need for Libre Fanaglia to gain a technological edge over the superior forces of King DiMarco and based his idea on the Colt Revolving Rifle Model 1855. He improved on the Colt's temperamental design by implementing an unusual "gas-seal" system in which the cylinder moved forward when the gun was cocked to close the gap between the cylinder and the barrel, providing a boost to the muzzle velocity of the fired projectile, while at the same time solving the Colt's tendency to misfire dangerously due to loose powder becoming lodged in recesses around the firing cylinder. Another nice little perk of this system is that it now allows the weapon to be suppressed - something very few revolvers can do because of the leaking of high-velocity gas through the gap between the cylinder and barrel, defeating the purpose of a sound suppressor.
