Revolver A revolver is a repeating handgun that has a revolving cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing. Revolvers might be regarded as a subset of pistols, or as an equal-ranking subset of handguns, distinct from pistols. Though the term "revolver" usually only refers to handguns, other firearms may also have a single-action revolving chamber. These include some models of grenade launchers, shotguns, and rifles. These are different from other firearms with revolving chambers, such as miniguns and gatling guns in that revolvers typically require the hammer to be re-cocked with each shot and require manual reloading, while miniguns are semi-automatic or automatic and often belt-fed.
