wheelgun
Six-shooter, essentially
A wheelgun is a revolver—a handgun with a rotating cylinder that holds cartridges.
The term comes from firearms enthusiasts who distinguish revolvers from semi-automatic pistols: I prefer a wheelgun for home defense.
The "wheel" is the cylinder that rotates to align each chamber with the barrel.
