I read a sci-fi/post-apocalyptic story in my youth (one of the [in]famous LaserBooks series) wherein a guide had a percussion style revolver, which were common due to society's inability to make good cartridges or some such, only in lieu of caps it used batteries in the grip and a spark plate. Drop the hammer, a connection is made, sparks fly, powder burns, gun goes boom. The safety notches between the chambers were non-conductive so one could carry the piece indefinitely without draining the battery. In fact, in one scene the main character realizes the next morning that he didn't move the hammer to a safety notch after firing so his batteries were dead. Fortunately he had spares. I've always wanted to try this, though I'd imagine one would need more voltage than most of us want toted around next to our bodies.

I don't know how feasable it would be for the video production workflow. But if you want a better view of the sight picture you need to go higher on the f-stops. If you can't do it in the available light and the noise is too high if you raise the ISO. Then you could consider taking a still photo of the sight picture with both gun and camera on a tripod and you should then be able to use as high of an f-stop as you want to get as much of the gun in focus as you want. That is, unless you don't have aperture control over the lens... Which is often the case with phone cameras for instance. But yeah. Just something I've been thinking of as I watch these treasures of videos.
