Who invented revolving rifle?

Not particularly successful, the revolving rifle followed the creation of the revolving pistol by Colt. The problem with a revolving rifle is that when fired, gasses are vented from the gap between the cylinder, and the rear of the barrel. With a handgun, the shooter's hand is behind this gap, With a rifle, the left hand (for a right handed shooter) is placed beneath the forearm (barrel) to support in. This places your left forearm in a position to be burned/injured by the cylinder gap flash when firing.
