In most chamberings, purely for looks. For instance, the Ruger Super Blackhawk has an unfluted cylinder in keeping with it's "Dragoon" appearance, but the Ruger Blackhawk in .44 Magnum (same chambering) had a fluted cylinder. Revolvers in the truly monster chamberings like .475 Linebaugh typically use a non-fluted cylinder to maximize the strength of the cylinder. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Can a revolver shoot an automatic bullet?

A revolver designed for a revolver cartridge cannot, but some revolvers are designed to fire rimless cartridges.

Why gases are kept in air tight cylinders?

So they'll stay in the air tight gas cylinders. Some gases are expensive and others are dangerous (some are both), and you don't want them leaking out. These cylinders are not only air tight, they're very pressure resistant. Most gases are shipped at between 2000 and 5000 psi, and the cylinder has to be made to withstand that much pressure. Acetylene is shipped at 250 psi because it's unstable at higher pressures, but acetylene cylinders are also capable of withstanding 2500 psi.
