A handgun with a rotating magazine containing ammunition. They were the first handguns capable of repeated fire. They usually hold between 5 and 10 rounds.
While semi-automatics are more popular due to the larger ammo capacity, revolvers still exist due to their firepower and reliability. Revolvers are also somewhat more popular as hunting weapons, where large, magnum rounds are highly appreciated, and as self-defence weapons, where the increased reliablity is an advantage.
It is also worth noting that very few revolvers can be effectively silenced, one exception being the Nagant M1895.
The Colt Peacemaker, Webley Revolver, and S&W Model 500 are good examples of revolvers.
If your semi-automatic jams, you are screwed. If your revolver jams, rotate the cylinder and fire again.
The .500 S&W and the .454 Casull are good examples of very powerful cartridges used mostly with revolvers.

A personal gun that was the earlier version of the pistol.
Basically, a usually small that has a wheel in its middle, which can be opened and bullets, up to six, can be inserted into.
It was used very commonly before the 20th century, before the pistol was invented.
If you want to see revolvers in action, watch western movies.
One of the big advantages of the revolver over the pistol, is that you can't play the popular game Russian Roulette with a pistol.
-Dude, check out my new revolver!
-Nice, but why didn't you buy a pistol intead? It is much more useful.
-Shut the f**k up! Revolvers rule!

This handgun is perfect for anyone who is physically too weak to rack slide on a semi-automatic pistol, or for anyone who wishes to commit violent crimes and evade the law afterwards! The unique characteristics of the revolver make it an excellent weapon for senior citizens, and assassins alike.
There were no casings at the crime scene, the assassin must have used a revolver.

1966 album by one of the -- if not THE -- greatest bands of all time, The Beatles. Should get more overall influential credit than Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
