Well..You would have to retool the entire weapon...including bore out the
barrels so they will accept a standard modern bullet..replace
the striking mechanism that strikes the side of the cylinder basically
the top of the pistol..and make it strike the end with an actual firing
pin to set off the rnd instead of the hammer that the weapon comes
with...basically throw away the whole thing and start from scratch...
Hell as it is the thing makes a pretty good club weighing in at around 2
or more Lbs of steel....
