5-6 round capacity
In theory it's the design itself rather than metallurgy, though nobody wants to go through the process of proving it.
There is a modern Webley in production(kinda) that's a 7-shot .357 although with how much it costs I doubt there will ever be a torture test to show off its strength, or lack thereof.
It probably could be done today. The Russians did make that break action .357, but then again it might not even exist at all due to there being absolutely no info about it anywhere outside of it being "DA GUN FROM BATTLEFIELD 4!" Again, the people who really stuck with break actions were the British.
Until someone decided to put several hundred rounds through that Russian .357 or that webley nobody will know for sure.
It never went into production because few govt-owned manufacturers were fast to agree with "gun control agreement" pulled off by Russia and US leaders. The faggot in rule was supposed to reject and remove communist measures, not implement more of them and now every fucking bitch whines about ebil gabidalism pointing at the mess he createdone time leftists managed to pull "no real socialism through", probably due to mass illiteracy forged by red scum

Wasn't yeltsin elected due to heavy US interference like sending PR specialists?
Probably, though a demand to fuck commies was also an important factor. That'd also explain the common perception of capitalism in this country as copying US actions and following its decisions.
We already have a revolver thread, though to be fair the other one is mostly taken up by revolver theorycrafting with an extra large side order of weapons-grade autism. I wouldn't object to keeping research threads about a certain type of gun separate from the main thread so people who just want to talk about existing guns can. Anyway, revolvers are awesome and OP is as usual a faggot.
Do you know anyone wealthy and autistic enough to bring a test case there?
Might be worth asking if he will do it for a reassembler special
