Revolvers hold cartridges in a cylinder. When the revolver is operated, the cylinder turns (revolves) to align a cartridge with the barrel. Originally called a Revolving Pistol, shortened to revolver.

What is the name of vash the stampede's gun from trigun?

Vash's gun is supposedly custom made but when it's not in "angel arm" form, it mostly resembles a combination between the Mateba Autorevolver (for its barrel is aligned with the bottom of the cylinder instead of the top) and the Schofield Revolver (for its break action style for a revolver). When it is in Angel-Arm Form, it is simply known as the "Angel Gun" or "Angel Arm" Check out the Chiappa Rhino revolver. It does not break like Vash's gun but the barrel and cylinder are located towards the bottom of the revolver.
