A '''revolver''' is a type of repeating [[firearm ]] in which several chambers within a rotating cylinder line up sequentially with the barrel of the firearm. There are two types of revolvers: single action revolvers must be manually recocked after each shot (which also rotates the next chamber to align with the barrel); double action revolvers have a mechanism which automatically cocks and rotates the cylinder when the trigger is pulled. Double action revolvers may also be manually cocked in the same manner as a single action revolver.

The automatic revolver is a very uncommon type of weapon, probably best remembered today by the English band .455" Webley-Fosbery which was used to kill Sam Spade's partner in [[The BeatlesMaltese Falcon]]. Double action revolvers may also be manually cocked in the same manner as a single action revolver.
