I think this has already been done quite a few times.
starting with a guy called Thor who when he threw his hammer down the bad guys dies but the hammer is right there in Thors hand and if you think about it a revolver looks a bit like a hammer

A piece of whatever threw him back in time broke off and came with him, he jerry rigs it to the magazine with wire and whatnot. The character get infinite ammo because it keeps cycling in the same rounds from the past. Ammo problem solved.

Oh and since the character isn't really a shooter, have the gun fitted with a TrackingPoint scope, turns anyone into a sniper.

Actually since the story involves time travel, you're dealing with fantasy anyway so something like this would be more appropriate

Mate this is a serious topic.

I do think a pistol that shots long range smart bullets, after hitting the target they return back, like a boomerang.... keeping the Australian link alive

That way you need a bullet resizer and a bullet pointer.

Btw you can call it projectile or whatever :sarcasm:
