revolvers
Guns with cylinders
Revolvers are handguns with a rotating cylinder containing multiple chambers, each holding a single cartridge.
The cylinder advances with each trigger pull, aligning the next round with the barrel.
Distinguished from semi-automatic pistols by this revolving mechanism: He carried a six-shot revolver.
The term occasionally applies to other rotating devices.
