About this page

[edit]

I created this article at a request from the requested articles list. I know next to nothing about this gun, except for what I gathered from the various sites I googled, so take what I've written with a grain of salt. If this page disagrees with what you know about the gun, feel free to make corrections. This page could definitely use improvement. NorsemanII 21:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notes for expansion

[edit]

Patent 2847784 is for a pre-stressed open chamber gun with rotatable cylinder. At this point the rounds are NOT trounds, they are cylinderical on one side and nearly flat on the other. Patent 2865126 for a new and improved cartridge for the open chamber gun shows the symmetrical tround shape, which would facilitate feeding from a magazine, since the trounds can enter the hemi-chamber (my own term) in any orentation and end up seating correctly. Patent 3855931 expands the tround to hold 3 projectiles, firing through a set of 3 bores, making a SALVO type gun. Patent 4,004,642 uses the SALVO tround in conjunction with a drill to break through hard spots.

According to my 13th Ed. Blue Book of Gun Values, the Series 1100 was a 10 shot DA Dardick pistol using a .38 Dardick Tround; the Series 1500 was chambered in .22, .30, or .38 Dardick, and carbine conversions were available in .22 and .38.

I think we should probably move the article to "Dardick Tround", since that's the meat of the invention, and put in redirects from "Dardick", "tround". Should link to the caliber conversion sleeve, since trounds were made to chamber various normal cartridges, and open chamber gun if there's an article on the concept--so far as I'm aware, the tround, while unsuccessful commercially, was still the only practical open chamber gun design to date. scot 21:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

obscure subject

[edit]

Details are obscure for the Dardick gun and ammo. The .38 and .30 Trounds have been found in original Tround format (not as adapters) and adapters have been found for .38 Special and .22 Long Rifle cartridges. No .30 caliber Dardick barrels are reported by collectors or traders. Neither are there available reports of Tround adapters for any .30 (7.62mm) cartridges. The .38 and .22 Trounds are much bulkier than .38 Special and .22 Long Rifle cartridges. --Naaman Brown (talk) 15:49, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
