Revolver

A Revolver is a type of handgun distinguished by its rotating cylinder containing multiple chambers, each holding a single cartridge. When the trigger is pulled, the cylinder rotates to align a fresh cartridge with the barrel, allowing the firearm to be fired again. Revolvers are known for their simplicity, reliability, and robust construction.
Revolver designs can be categorized into two main types: single-action and double-action. In a single-action revolver, the hammer must be manually cocked before pulling the trigger, which rotates the cylinder and fires the weapon. In a double-action revolver, pulling the trigger both cocks the hammer and rotates the cylinder, allowing for a quicker and simpler firing process.
Revolver cartridges come in various calibers, ranging from small and low-powered rounds suitable for self-defense to large and powerful cartridges used for hunting and law enforcement purposes. The cylinder capacity of revolvers typically ranges from five to eight rounds, although some models may hold more.
