This is really cool. I was thinking of buying a revolver, but the thing is, is that I know nothing about guns. I started to grow an interest in them. I don't even really know the different types of revolvers there are, and what cartilage a gun could hold. I don't either know different bullet transcripts. Nice vid.

Using Revolvers for Target Shooting: Practice Tips for the Gun Range
Hi, my name is Chad and we’re talking about rifle and pistol shooting. And we’re going to talk a little bit about revolvers. There’s two basic kinds of handguns, and revolver are one of the main kinds. It’s called a revolver-this is one right here, a single action revolver- because it has a cylinder here the ammunition sits in; you place round inside it. And as you cock it, it turns the cylinder, and as you pull the trigger, it fires the round that is underneath here. As you pull it again, the cylinder turns and puts another round underneath here. And each time you pull the trigger, it goes forward and hits the primer of the bullet that is underneath- basically lined up with the barrel. So basically you have a revolving cylinder that goes around and around that has ammunition in it. And as you pull the trigger each time, it sends out a bullet. These generally hold between six and ten rounds depending on the ammunition. And they’re both kinds, double action and single action. But that’s the basics of a revolver, and it’s the oldest type of the generally used handguns today
