Depends on the revolver. Some inexpensive guns had a removable cylinder pin- it would be removed, the cylinder could now be removed, and the pin used to eject empties. Older revolvers may have been "top break" guns- raising the cylinder latch permitted to barrel and cylinder to swing open on a hing, much like a double barreled shotgun opens.
