A gun is any kind of fire arm from a small handheld weapon up to a large cannon. A revolver is usually a handheld weapon. It holds more than one cartridge containing powder and bullet in a magazine that is part of the weapon. Each cartridge in aligned in turn with the firing pin and gun barrel for firing by revolvingthe cartridge magazine. Hence the name, revolver.
The difference is that a pistol has a magazine and a revolver has a rotating cylinder that has individual chambers to shoot
a shotgun is pump action and a revolver "revovles" the ammo.

Method of operation.
The main difference between a single action (SA) and a double action (DA) revolver lies in how the trigger operates. In a single action revolver, the trigger only releases the hammer after it has been manually cocked, requiring two distinct actions to fire. In contrast, a double action revolver can both cock and release the hammer with a single pull of the trigger, allowing for quicker shooting without the need to manually cock the gun each time. This difference affects the speed and ease of firing in various situations.
yes................revolver ammo has a rim. Semi-auto cartridges do not.
A "gun" generically refers to any firearm. A "pistol" generally refers to any hand gun. Minor addition: "Pistol" is used colloquially used to refer to any handgun, but technically, it refers to a semi-auto handgun as opposed to a revolver.
