Osmium crazy gadget idea

Describe the solution you'd like
An osmium REVOLVER gadget.
Why would you like this to be implemented?
As of right now, osmium is only useful for crafting Krik or to be used in other mods, and its armor just has a worse effect than lutetium. I think we will have to add a ranged gadget anyway eventually, but a bow is a bit boring, don't you think?
Why revolver then?
Because Osmium is the densest, heavies metal, and it makes sense that osmium gadget would be an incredibly heavy weapon, even a small fire arm made out of it would weigh a ton and definitely pack a punch. But osmium is also very brittle, so a larger weapon or gadget would probably break very quickly, anything like a bow or a dagger - simply impractical, because of its weight. Revolver also kind of fits our industrial mod theme.
Describe alternatives you've considered (optional)
For ammo, we could use gunpowder or just add a new bullet item, but that's not needed. We can use already exciting items called nuggets. Rarer and stronger metal nuggets can be much more powerful, while stuff like tin nuggets will deal a bit more damage than a snowball. We can also use this to maybe add stuff like effects, for example: vulcanite nuggets will set enemies on fire.
Nuggets are completely useless and a waste of space if you don't have other mods installed.
Additional context (optional)
The revolver should have a very slow firing speed and only hold about 5-9 bullets at a time.
When all the shots are fired it will be drawn back (like a bow, but slower - to refill)
When shooting the revolver, the player should also be pushed back quite a bit.
If you agree, I will make the most epic revolver model I can :PPPP.
If you like the idea but not the metal, then these are other metals that might fit:
-tin
-brass
-manganese
-meutotite
-zinc

Why does Metallurgy need firearms is my only question on this?
Metallurgy mods original aim was to make mining generally a better experience, giving people a decent and fun reward for getting a specific mineral seems like a good way to bring people to mine ore that they might otherwise find useless. That reward might not have to be exactly be a revolver, but I did say in the title that this is a crazy suggestion.
@Klazkin It isn't so crazy. Our mod add item and machinery that use metal, like chamber.
Furthermore the gauntlets are too similar to Hellboy punch and Hellboy use a revolver.
All suggestions are to be considered if they have a good motivation.
Revolver is something we can do but, at the moment, we have to do other things like a mob
No spoilers 👀
Don’t get me wrong... I think having some metal working mechanics would be great and more things to make is always a bonus!
I just don’t see guns being in theme... but anything is possible!
