Revolvers have a CYLINDER that spins. And yes, single or double shot pistols, and automatic pistols do not have a cylinder- so there is nothing to spin, rotate or revolve.

There were a couple of two or more shot pistols that were developed before the development of the revolver that twisted or spun barrels to fire multiple shots. More often than not, firing a single shot from most of these would fire all barrels, and more often than not would cause the weapon to explode, injuring or killing the shooter.

How did the phrase Russian Roulette originate?

One of the more ghoulish games played in the old Russian military was for a group of soldiers to put one bullet in the chamber of a revolver. Each would spin it randomly, point it at their head and pull the trigger. You had a one-in-six chance of killing yourself. Because spinning the revolver chamber was a bit like spinning a roulette wheel, where it stopped randomly and could destroy a player (financially, at least), this game became known as Russian roulette.

How do you unload 38 long colt?

It'll probably be a single action revolver. On the right side of the pistol (as you look at it from behind), there'll be a small door which you can flip out to expose the chambers in the cylinder. After opening this, you'll pull the hammer back one or two notches - NOT all the way. This will allow the cylinder to spin freely. Rotate each chamber so it's lined up with the small door, then push back on the ejector rod to push the cartridge back and out of the chamber. Rotate through all the cylinders in the chamber, repeating this process with each one.
