The C96 Mauser actually had a fairly long barrel on most models and the cartridge for it was 25mm and not 45mm so there wouldn't have been as much powder to go out the end of the barrel. The Mauser is still one of the best made pistols in my opinion, especially for higher-end pistol cartridges.
Like I said, there would be ways to do it but it would be very complex. What you're describing is Metal Storm basically but with complexity added. There's a thread around here in General Discussion on it, just search for my previous posts.
Rusty, those are simply helical magazine and not cylinders. They're pretty neat things though. They can carry a huge load of ammunition in a small space. The pistol in Fallout actually looks more realistic than the one from Blade Runner, It's less smoothed down all over the place and looks like it has barrel length and a slide. - Colt
