Real Life Information
A Revolver is a pistol that uses a revolving chamber to hold and fire bullets, typically out of a single barrel. With each pull of the trigger, the chamber turns, readying a new bullet to be fired. Revolvers typically hold up to six rounds in their chamber, though larger caliber revolvers may hold only five, while smaller caliber revolvers may hold eight or more. The revolving chamber design is also used in other weapons as well, such as Grenade Launchers. Though designs utilizing revolving chambers in other firearms had been developed since the 16th century, the first version of the modern revolving design was developed in 1835 by Samuel Colt and would go on to see widespread service in armed forces and private hands. Although most armies have replaced their revolvers with semi-automatic pistols, revolvers are still used by professional target shooters, private citizens and police agencies around the world.
